Answer 1

Adjust flight path

Advise ATC of any clnc deviations

Question 2

EGPWS (at NITE or in IMC)
Terrain, Terrain" or
"Terrain, Terrain, PULL UP, PULL UP" or 
"Too Low, Terrain"
"Pull up, Pull up!"

Answer 2

“TOGA THRUST, stow speed brakes”
Disconnect autopilot
Thrust levers AGGRESIVELY to TOGA
Roll wings level & FULL back stick to alpha max
MAINTAIN UNTILwarning stops & terrrain clnc assured
Retract speed brakes
MAINTAIN CONFIG (no flap or gear changes)

Question 3

GPWS (DAY VMC with obstacles in sight)
"Terrain, Terrain" or
"Terrain, Terrain, PULL UP, PULL UP" or 
"Too Low, Terrain"
"Pull up, Pull up!"

Answer 3

• Take positive corrective actions until warning ceases

- Advise ATC

Question 4

“Sink Rate” or “Glideslope > 500’ AGL

Answer 4

Adjust thrust and pitch

Question 5

“Sink Rate” or “Glideslope < 500’ AGL

Answer 5

IMC=Missed Approach

VMC = momentary deviation (correctable) is OK

Question 6

Stabilized approach criteria PLAN by 1500’

Answer 6

Gear down, A/S< 180Kts

Question 6

Tcas RA

Answer 6

Stabilized apprch criteria by 1000’ (REPORT REQUIRED)

Answer 8

Final Landing Config, 
Landing checklist complete, 
Airspeed +15/-5, 
On lateral profile w/in 1 dot of LOC, 
On vertical profile +/-1 Degree GS , +/-300fpm or sustained Vert speed < 1200fpm)

Question 9

Stabilized apprch criteria by 500’ (REJECT REQUIRED)

Answer 9

Except for MOMENTARY deviation in a/s or descent rate, PM directs G/A with out of tolerance paramater (i.e. “Go-Around, Flaps”)

Question 10
