Question 17

AP disengagement

Answer 17

Without LAND 2 or LAND 3 annunciated, the AP must be disengaged below 200 ft AGL

Question 18

Auto Landing; max allowable wind speeds -

Headwind:
Tailwind:
Crosswind:

Answer 18

Headwind: 25 kts
Tailwind: 15 kts
Crosswind: 25 kts (company limit 15 kts)

Question 19

Answer 19

Max glide slope angle: 3.25 degrees

Min glide slope angle: 2.5 degrees

Question 20

Automatic landings can be made using flaps …….. or …….., with both engines operative or OEI. The autopilot flight director system (AFDS) autoland status annunciation must display ……….. or …………

Answer 20

Using flaps 20 or 30

LAND 2 or LAND 3

Question 21

FLCH use

Answer 21

Do not use FLCH on final approach below 1,000 ft AAL

Question 22

Max fuel tank temperature

Answer 22

49 deg C

Question 23

Fuel tank temp prior to takeoff?

Answer 23

Must not be less than -40 deg. C or 3 deg C above the fuel freeze point, whichever is higher.

In flight, tank fuel temp must be maintained at least 3 deg. C above the freezing point of the fuel being used.

Question 24

Reverse Thrust

Answer 24

Selection of reverse thrust in flight is prohibited

Backing the airplane with use of reverse thrust is prohibited

Question 25

For ground ops (except t/o), engine power should be limited to a maximum of 70% N1 with tailwinds & xwc’s between ?

Answer 25

30 & 45 kts

Avoid thrust levels abv that required for normal taxi operation in all tailwinds & crosswinds greater than 45 kts.

Question 26

APU’s starter motors duty cycle for the electric starter motor & air turbine starter is

Answer 26

3 start attempts in 60 mins (each)

Question 27

APU start cycle restrictions are:

Answer 27

1 min (L.10.5)

Question 28

Flight Controls; AFM Limitations

Answer 28

Avoid rapid & large alternating control inputs, especially in combination with large changes in pitch, roll, or yaw as they may result in structural failure at any speed, including below Va.

Question 29

Flap Operation

Answer 29

Max altitude with flaps extended is 20,000 ft

Question 30

Ground manoeuvre camera system

Answer 30

Should not be used during t/o, approach & landing

Question 31

ADIRU alignment
