Q

At what altitude does the autopilot start the landing flare?

A

50 feet

17
Q

How is the autopilot flare mode annunciated to the pilots?

A

FLARE replaces G/S on the FMA

18
Q

What is the FMA annunciation indicating the auto throttle system is retarding the Thrust Levers?

A

IDLE

19
Q

What annunciation occurs when the approach mode is selected?

A

LOC and G/S appear in white on the FMA

20
Q

How can the crew get the localizer and glideslope deviation scales displayed on the ADI’s?

A

Select an ILS frequency on the ILS tuning head

21
Q

When go-around mode is engaged, the auto throttle:

A

Adjusts thrust to achieve 2000 fpm climb

22
Q

When does the Go-Around mode arm for the AFDS and auto throttle system?

A

At G/S capture

23
Q

After what point in an ILS approach can Go-Around mode be engaged?

A

G/S capture or flaps moved from up

24
Q

In order for LAND 3 to be active, which of the following events must have occurred?

A

RA must be 1500’ or less and GS and LOC must be captured

25
Q

During an ILS approach, below what altitude is the Go-Around mode inhibited?

A

5 feet RA for 2 seconds

26
Q

The Flare and Rollout Modes are available for which of the following?

A

Multiple autopilot approaches

27
Q

How is the auto throttle normally disengaged after an automatic landing?

A

Thrust reverser engagement

28
Q

How can you de-select the Approach Mode after localizer and glide-slope capture?

A

Select GA or disengage autopilots and turn off both FD’s

29
Q

Can the GS be captured prior to Localizer intercept?

A

No

30
Q

On a non-GPS aircraft, how is the runway position updated prior to takeoff?

A

Pushing the THR button

31
Q

How can you disarm, LNAV, LOC, VNAV and APP modes when armed and prior to capture?

A

By pushing the mode switch second time

32
Q

Describe the condition that would cause VNAV ALT to display as the pitch mode?

A

A conflict occurs between the VNAV FMC profile and the MCP altitude

33
Q

After takeoff, when may the autopilot be engaged?

A

After a pitch mode has been selected

34
Q

When does the ALT light on each altimeter illuminate?

A

Between 300’ and 900’ of the MCP altitude

35
Q

What does the THR HOLD mode indicate?

A

Power has been removed from the auto throttle servo system

36
Q

How is rollout mode engagement annunciated?

A

Rollout appears in green on the FMA’s
