Can you attempt a go-around after deployment of the thrust reversers?
No
(SOPM CH2 THRUST REVERSES)
True/False: Precision approaches are recommended, when available.
True
(SOPM Ch. 4 Approach Conduct)
Do the controls and throttles need to be guarded during all phases of the approach and landing when the auto-flight system is engaged? Why?
Yes, the pilot must be prepared to manually land or initiate a go-around anytime it is necessary.
(SOPM Ch. 4 Approach Conduct)
Is it permissible to turn the Landing lights off while on an approach in IMC if they pose a distraction?
Yes
(SOPM Ch. 4 Approach Conduct)
Is it recommended that the PM call out any observed deviations while on approach?
No, it is Mandatory
(SOPM Ch. 4 Approach Conduct)
What is the PF’s verbal response after immediately correcting a deviation on approach to landing?
“Correcting”
(SOPM Ch. 4 Approach Conduct)
What is the PM’s deviation callout with a descent rate >1,000 ft/min on approach to landing?
SINK RATE (SOPM Ch. 4 Approach Conduct)
What magnitude of deviation from glide path requires a call out by the PM? What is the SOPM callout?
>one dot, GLIDE PATH
(SOPM Ch. 4 Approach Conduct)
When are speed deviation callouts required on approach to landing? What is the callout?
Target -5, or any speed less than Vref, whichever is higher, “SPEED”
(SOPM Ch. 4 Approach Conduct)
On an approach, what bank angle would be considered a deviation? What is the PM’s callout?
>25 degrees, BANK
(SOPM Ch. 4 Approach Conduct)
What is the responsibility of the PM if the EGPWS fails to make callouts automatically?
Perform the expected callouts
(SOPM Ch. 4 Approach Conduct)
It is critical to a safe operation that pilots meet stabilized approach criteria by what altitude.
1,000 ft
(SOPM Ch. 4 Approach Conduct)
What is the maximum speed allowed above target on approach at 1,000 ft? What would the PM callout if the PF exceeds this speed?
+15, “SPEED”
