Takeoff Fuel limitation Center Tank
Takeoff with a fuel load in excess of 500 lbs. in the center tank is not permitted unless each wing tank is above 4,400 lbs. Powered crossflow and gravity crossflow must be OFF for takeoff.
APU Start 700,900
The APU starter motor duty cycle is limited to not more than three (3) starts/start attempts in one (1) hour with a two (2) minute delay between cranking attempts.

AutoPilot Limitations
(speed mode, vnav)
-Use of SPEED MODE (DES or IAS), flight director or autopilot coupled, during approach is not permitted.
-Use of VNAV, flight director or autopilot coupled, during the climb and approach phases of flight is not permitted.
DC Only PWR Ground OPS:
To protect the flight compartment CRT displays, the maximum permissible time for ground operations with DC power only is 5 minutes.
