Question 1

The airspeed value in the FCP readout window switches automatically to MACH when
the aircraft altitude is above _________ feet, and reverts to IAS automatically when the aircraft is
below _________ feet?

Answer 1

31,500 ft.

Question 2

Pressing the 1/2 BANK pushbutton limits the maximum bank angle used by the FD to 15
degrees (from 30 degrees). It is automatically activated in NAV and HDG lateral modes
when the aircraft climbs through ___________ feet.

Answer 2

31,500 feet

Question 3

What modes automatically engage the auto throttles?

Answer 3

*go‐around (when TOGA is pressed)
*windshear escape
mode (when TOGA is pressed)
*Emergency Descent Mode (EDM)

Question 4

Answer 4

A high speed autopilot‐controlled descent to 15,000 ft using Flight Level Change (FLC) and
Heading mode (HDG) is activated.

Question 5

When is the Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) automatically activated?

Answer 5

Automatic activation of the EDM will occur if the cabin altitude exceeds 14,500 ft
and the aircraft is above 25,000 ft.

Question 6

When the Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) is automatically activated will the flight spoilers automatically extend?

Answer 6

NO. Extension of the flight spoilers during the emergency descent mode is not automatic.
Flight spoilers must be manually extended if desired.

Question 7

What are the default lateral and vertical modes of the FMS?

Answer 7

• flight path angle (FPA)

* heading (HDG)

Question 8

When is the HOLD mode of the Autothrottle active?

Answer 8

*The AT operates in the takeoff hold mode (HOLD) to maintain takeoff thrust from 60 knots to 400 feet RA.

Question 9

Answer 9

• The AT operates in thrust mode (THRUST) and maintains a specific thrust setting when the following FD vertical modes are active:
• Takeoff (TO) (above 400 feet AGL)
• Flight Level Change (FLC)
• Go Around (GA)
• Windshear escape (WSHR)
