8.3 Flight Procedures Flashcards
Maximum Taxi Speeds
- 50KT when Backtracking on the RWY,
- 30KT on a Taxiway,
- 15KT on the Apron,
- 10KT during turns 45 degrees or greater,
- 5KT on contaminated (or RWYCC 3 or less) RWY or Taxiways
Taxiing Surface Cautions
- On RWY as WET and OAT 0 degrees or colder,
- RWY ends,
- When crossing painted parts of RWY and TWY,
- On clearways or stopways
ATC Departure Clearance On the Ground
- Both pilots must be present,
- Using head sets
Cabin Ready and T/O Clearance
When not ready don’t accept T/O or Line Up clearance
MCP Altitude On the Ground Before Clearance
Set to expected altitude + 100FT
Enroute Navaid Selection
Not required when using RNP5
Thrust After T/O Config Alert When Returning to Stand
Don’t increase thrust above 40% N1 for maintenance
Flaps 1 Departures
Flown by Captain only
Intersection T/O
- Encouraged,
- Up to maximum thrust may be considered,
- When transferred to tower reconfirm
Low Visibility T/O Navaid Difference
Select related ILS (and Course I think)
High Speed RTO Procedures
- Ask ATC to return to stand,
- Call Maintrol and report high energy RTO,
- Don’t takeoff until released by Maintrol,
- Calculate Brake Cooling Scheudle,
- File ASR after duty
Minimum Turn Altitude
- Normally 400FT,
- If SID requires a turn below 398FT it will be mentioned,
- In no case below 59FT,
- No turns before DER unless omnidirectional or published SID used
Climb and Descent Speeds
- During climb in A, B, C airspaces, if ATC gives free speed you may increase to ECON,
- Don’t increase above 250KT if not established on inbound track to destination,
- During descent don’t increase unless instructed by ATC
Noise Abatement
- NADP 2: Bug up 1000FT, N1 reduction 1500FT, retract flaps, maintain up speed till 3000FT AGL,
- NADP 1: N1 reduction 1500FT, Bug up 3000FT,
- If NADP 1 not mentioned specifically (NADP A or B don’t count) use NADP 2
- May be cancelled during certain meteorological conditions
Look Out
- TCAS is not a substitute,
- Especially when flying through E, F and G airspaces it’s important,
- Consider reducing speed (220 or minimum clean) in those airspaces
Stuck Mike Protection
- RYR fleet has a protection,
- After 35s continuous transmission VHF Comm reverts to receive mode
Change of Radio Frequency Inflight
- CRZ: PF changes STBY, PM responds ATC and note it to OFP, PM crosschecks and switches,
- CLB, DES: PM will do all of it
FIR Boundry Awareness
- When direct to received, take only boundry abeam points,
- If no waypoint present, create it by entering lat/long,
- Enter next boundry waypoint to FIX page
Radio Check Interval
25 minutes maximum
Enroute Weather Checking and Recording
- RYR bases are preferred,
- Record enroute alternate weather only during periods of general poor weather
Mode S Transponder ATC Monitored Parameters

- Current HDG, ALT and SPD selected on the MCP,
- Current V/S
Standard Speeds for RYR
- 220KT at IAF,
- 180KT at base,
- 180KT on final approach track,
- 160KT from 8 to 4NM
Direct Requests During Climb
Shall only requested when above MSA
BAT
- Barometric Pressure Setting (BPS) Advisory Tool,
- ATC tool for identifying incorrect QNH setting,
- Gives a warning when difference is more than 5mb,
- Provided by London Terminal Control Approach controllers,
- It only supports arrival aircraft at or below TL
Climb Restrictions and VNAV
- Below FL300 use V/S when approaching cleared level (starting from 3000FT/3000FPM),
- Above FL300 use VNAV unless there is potential traffic
Descend Restrictions and VNAV
- Use V/S when approaching cleared level (starting from 3000FT/3000FPM),
- Use V/S for step descents of up to 2000FT
ECON Speed Exception
When flying to alternate, it shall be flown using LRC
High Altitude Maneuvering Speed
Other than LNAV, use 10KT above lower amber band
Flight Plan FL Calculation CG Value
Calculated using most restrictive CG of 5% MAC
ATC ALT/HDG Instructions When PM Off the Radio
- PF selects requested but doesn’t execute,
- After returning to radio PM verifies with ATC only then PF executes,
- If ATC requires immediate change PF will interrupts PM and PM confirms instruction with ATC
Orbit Requests
- At least 10NM from touchdown,
- Don’t descent below MSA or 3000FT WEH,
- Max Flaps 10 and speedbrakes (Gear Down not permitted),
- VMC conditions
Visual Circuit After Missed Approach
