Auto Flight and Flight Instruments Flashcards
The outer BANK LIMIT selector applies to which roll mode?
HDG SEL
How do you re-engage the autothrottles when pitch mode is ALT, V/S or G/S
Push speed switch
How do you re-engage the autothrottles when the pitch mode is VNAV____ or FLCH SPD?
Cycle the A/T ARM switch (OFF-ARM)
How can you manually select climb thrust after takeoff or a go-around?
Push the Thrust (THR) switch
What function is operating if the THR light remains extinguished or illuminated?
Extinguished: Thrust limit function
Illuminated: A/T mode function
How can you deselect approach mode AFTER loc and G/S captured?
TO/GA or Disenage autopilot and position both F/D switches off
Can G/S capture prior to LOC intercept?
No, G/S capture inhibited until LOC capture, and intercept angle within 80 degrees of LOC CSE
What does amber horizontal line through affected ACTIVE pitch or roll mode indicate?
A flight mode fault detected
Will A/T engage if TO/GA is not selected prior to 50kts airspeed during takeoff?
No, if selected after 50KIAS, A/T automatically engage above 400’ when VNAV captures
When will VNAV activate during takeoff?
400’ above runway elevation
Which ptich mode does not provide A/T speed protection with the A/T and autopilot engaged?
V/S
When is TO/GA terminated after takeoff?
By selecting any other pitch and roll mode, or by activation of LNAV/VNAV modes
How can you disarm, LNAV, LOC, VNAV and APP modes when armed PRIOR to capture?
Push the mode switch a second time
In flight, when is TO/GA armed?
Flaps out of up, or G/S captured
For Autoland, what controls are used by the AFDS to steer the airplane on the localizer centerline after touchdown?
Rudder and NWS
On approach, first push of TO/GA, what active A/T mode would FMA display with A/T armed?
THR
What A/T mode is activated with the second push of the TO/GA switch?
THR REF, at full go-around thrust
When does the A/T annunciation change to HOLD during takeoff?
65KIAS
What climb rate is achieved during a go-around with ONE push of the TO/GA switches?
2,000FPM
With the APP switch selected, what altitude will electrical busses isolate allowing multiple autopilot engagement for autloand ops?
1500’ RA
When will FLARE activate?
50’ RA
What ptich is commanded by AFDS when TO/GA selected in windshear recovery?
15 degrees, or slightly below PLI, whichever is lower
Describe condition that would cause VNAV ALT as pitch mode?
A confict occurs between VNAV profile and MCP altitude
What is maximum intercept angle the LOC will capture with APP or LOC mode armed?
Less than 120 degrees
During autoland what action normally disconnects auto throttles
TR raised to reverse idle
When does ROLLOUT activate?
below 5’
How are A/T, roll or pitch mode changes emphasized on the FMA?
Green box around mode for 10 seconds
On -8 how would you deactivate LOC or FAC mode once they have captured?
-Selecting roll mode other than LNAV
-Pushing TO/GA
-Disengaging Autopilot and positioning both F/D OFF
On the 400, -8, LCF, NO AUTOLAND displays on PFD if a multichannel approach (MCA) selected but MCA engage status (LAND 2/3) has not been annunciated by ______ ft ?
600’ AGL
On the -8 what does FAC (armed) as a roll mode FMA indicate?
APP switch selected and AFDS set to conduct an IAN procedure
What minimum maneuver capability is provided at the top of the amber bar on the PFD display?
1.3g
If the display selector panel fails, how can you select the synoptic display on the lower EICAS?
Through the respective CDU (MENU - EFIS CP)
What indicates you are 1/3 of a dot deviation from the localizer?
Localizer pointer is just touching the rectangle during expanded localizer deviation scale. Low RA w/ Autopilot or FD engaged scale turns amber and flases to indicate LOC deviation
How can you control your displays if EFIS control panel fails?
Through related CDU
What source selector switch would you likely move in the event of an ALT or SPD flag in view on the PFD?
Air Data Source Selector
When is the PLI displayed?
Flaps not up
On the -8, how is the airspeed range for acceptable VNAV path indicated on the PFD (flaps up or down)?
VNAV Speed Band
-8 ANP bars change color to ____ if the navigation path pointer moves into the bar area for _____ seconds?
-Amber
-5 Seconds
-8 When do vertical anticipation cues display?
-Within 25NM of MAP
-With in 60 degrees Final Approach CSE
-Track within 90 degrees of Final Approach CSE
-<6000 feet above field
-8 When do IAN scales display?
-LNAV/VNAV not active modes
-Approach is in the active flight plan
-<150NM from destination, or
-<50 NM from T/D, or
-FMC in descent mode
On the -8 what will display if the Integrated Standby Flight Display (ISFD) initialization is not complete within 6 minutes?
ATT:RST initialization message
On -8 What does the VSD represent?
A profile view of the airplane an its environment along the current track
-8 VSD enroute swath is inhibited on takeoff and approach when airplane is within_______NM of the runway and less than _______ft AFE?
-6 NM
-3000 ft
-8 Electronic Checklist Open Loop action items require ______?
Flight crew to manually confirm completion with cursor control
