AOM Flashcards
When is a full alignment of the IRS required?
- originating flights
- flights requiring international navigation procedures
Preference order for entering position on SET IRS POS
- GPS Position
- Gate Position from ABG or ramp marking
- “ALL” entered on gate prompt (Ramp coordinates)
- REF AIRPORT coordinates
- manual entry
Rules for entering Fuel Reserves on PERF INIT
Domestic Rules
• Enter ALTN + RESERVE
International Rules
• Straight Release or Redispatch: Enter ALTN + (DEST RSV x 1.5)
• OpSpec B043: Enter ALTN + RESERVE
• Island Reserve (2-hour rule): Enter ALTN + (DEST RSV x 0.5)
Flags and Modes to see during preflight instrument check
Verify that only these flags are shown:
• TCAS OFF
• NO VSPD until takeoff V-speeds are entered
Verify that the flight mode annunciations are correct: • Autothrottle mode is blank • Roll mode is TO • Pitch mode is TO • AFDS status is FLT DIR
SPACE Check
- Safety check
- Power - Establish
- Accessory Panel
- Circuit breakers
- Emergency equipment/ “Everything Else”
Engine Warm Up (PW)
Required:
- Engine Oil Temp above 50ºC
Not required:
- when engine has been shutdown for more that 4 hrs …. 5 mins warmup
Engine Warm Up (RR)
Required:
• When the engines have been shut down more than 1.5 hours:
– Run the engines for at least five minutes
• When the engines have been shut down less than 1.5 hours:
– Run the engines for at least three minutes
• Engine oil temperature must be above the lower amber band before takeoff
Engine Warm Up (GE)
- engine oil temp must be above bottom of temp scale
- run engine for at least 3 mins
Types of Engine Failure Procedures
There are three types of EFPs:
• Standard
• Special
• Complex
Air-Turn-Back Requirements
Either:
− Emergency declaration with ATC – or –
− Amend Release to Read (ARTR) from Dispatch – and –
− ATC clearance
ELM independent/joint verification
Independently verify:
- Flight number
- Date
- City pair
- Tail number
- Number of ACMs (Additional Crew Members/Jumpseaters)
- Note the Notice to Captain (NOTOC) requirement
- Compare FOB ENT with totalizer fuel for reasonable variance
Jointly verify:
- CAPT reads ZFW aloud from ELM
- F/O echoes ZFW, enters in FMC, then verbalizes aircraft gross weight
- Captain verifies reasonability of gross weight:
− (ELM) TOGW + TAXI > (FMC) GR WT (302.0 + 1.0 > 302.9) - Crew compares ETOW (from flight plan) to TOGW (from ELM)
FO Final Cockpit Prep
“All Trained F/O’s Should Verify Climb, Course, Altitude”:
− All – APU: Verify RUN (and duct pressure not zero)
− Trained – Thrust: Set Takeoff thrust (via TMSP)
− F/O’s – Flaps: Enter on Takeoff Ref page
− Should – Speeds: Enter V1, Vr, V2 on Takeoff Ref page
− Verify – V2: Set V2 in MCP speed window
− Climb – Climb: Enter CMS/3000’ AFE on CLB page (NADP-2)
− Course – Course Window: Set EFP heading in window
− Altitude – Altitude: Set EFP acceleration altitude on
Takeoff Date Joint Verification
“Run With The Flap Speeds”:
o Run - Takeoff Runway (and intersection, if applicable)
o With - TO Gross Weight (TOGW less than MTOW for planned runway)
o The - Takeoff Thrust (TO, TO 1, TO 2 and temperature, if applicable)
o Flap - Flap Setting
o Speeds - V-Speeds: V1, VR and V2
Conditions that do not require the crew to perform GPWS Warning/Caution CFIT Maneuver
• The Alert occurs during day VMC with terrain and obstacles clearly in sight, and
• The flight crew can IMMEDIATELY and UNEQUIVOCALLY determine that terrain/obstacle
clearance is not a factor, and
• Stabilized Approach criteria met and maintained
