Q

Wx Radar vs predictive windshear

A

The weather radar automatically begins scanning for windshear when:
737-800
• thrust levers set for takeoff, even if engine is off or IRS not aligned, or
• in flight below 2,300 feet RA (predictive windshear alerts are issued
below 1,200 feet RA).
737-900
• thrust levers set for takeoff or both oil pressure active and transponder On.
• in flight below 1,800 feet RA (predictive windshear alerts are issued
below 1,200 feet RA).
Alerts are available approximately 12 seconds after the weather radar begins scanning for windshear

Q

Fuel CONFIG

A

illuminates if the center tank contains
more than 726kgs, both centre tank pumps are producing low or no pressure and either engine is running..And will continue to display until centre tank is less than 363Kgs, one centre tank pump is producing high pressure or both engines are not running.

21

less than 907Kgs.

22
Q

IMBAL

Only when the autopilot is engaged.

25
Q

Engine Ignition (limitation)

A 
Engine ignition must be on for:
• takeoff
• landing
• operation in heavy rain
• anti-ice operation.
26
Q

Engine ignition in FLT/CONT

A 
•severe turbulence 
•volcanic ash
•loss of thrust on both
•FAN ICE Removal

•emergency descent
•Moderate to Heavy rain
27
Q

Auto Slats & Flaps

A

From EXT to FULL EXT 800/F10
SFP/F25
Hyd B normal or PTU/A

28
Q

ENGINE START Switches

GRD –

A

• opens start valve
• closes engine bleed valve
• for ground starts, arms selected igniter(s) to provide ignition when
engine start lever is moved to IDLE
• for inflight starts, arms both igniters to provide ignition when engine
start lever is moved to IDLE
• releases to AUTO at start valve cutout.

29
Q

ENGINE START Switches-AUTO

A
  • both igniters are activated when engine start lever is in IDLE and:
  • an uncommanded rapid decrease in N2 occurs or,
  • N2 is between 57% and 50% or,
  • in flight - N2 is between idle and 5%.
  • provides automatic ignition to selected igniters when:
  • engine is running and,
  • flaps are not up below 18000 feet altitude or,
  • engine anti-ice is selected to ON.
30
Q

ENGINE START Switches-CONT

A

• provides ignition to selected igniters when engine is operating and engine start lever is in IDLE
• in flight - provides ignition to both igniters when N2 is below idle and
engine start lever is in IDLE.
FLT – provides ignition to both igniters when engine start lever is in IDLE.

31
Q

ENGINE START Switches- FLT

A

Provides ignition to both igniters when engine start lever is in IDLE.

32
Q

Brake System

A

Normal B /Alternate A
Accumulator 3000psi 6 brakes. No brakes left 1000psi
