Auto Flight & Flight Instuments Flashcards
How do you re-engage the AT if pitch mode is V/S ALT or G/S?
Push the SPD switch
How do you re-engage the AT when pitch mode is in VNAV___ or FLCH?
Cycle the AT arm switch off then back to ARM
What function is reflected if the THR switch light..
Remains extinguished: Thrust limit function
Illuminated: A/T mode function
How do you deselect the approach mode after LOC and G/S capture?
-Select TOGA or
-Disengage A/P & both FD switches off
Can the glide slope be captured prior to LOC intercept?
No: Glide slope capture is inhibited until localizer capture and the intercept angle is with in 80 degrees of the localizer course.
What does an amber horizontal line displayed through an active pitch or roll mode indicate?
A flight mode fault is detected
When will VNAV activate during takeoff?
400ft above runway elevation
When is TOGA mode terminated after take off?
By selecting another pitch and roll mode, or by activation of (armed) LNAV/VNAV modes
In flight, when is TOGA armed?
Flaps out of UP OR
Glide slope captured
On approach, with first push of TOGA, what active AT mode would FMA display with AT armed?
THR.
Second Push: THR REF
What climb rate is achieved during a go around with one TOGA push?
2000fpm climb
With the APP switch selected, what altitude will the electrical buses isolate allowing multiple AP engagement for auto land ops?
Below 1500’ RA
Describe the condition that would cause VNAV ALT to be the pitch mode?
A conflict between VNAV profile and MCP altitude
What is the maximum intercept angle that the LOC will capture with APP or LOC mode armed?
120degrees
During auto land, what action normally disconnects the AT?
A reverse thrust lever is raised to reverse idle.
When does the ROLLOUT mode activate?
Below 5ft
On the 744, LCF, -8, NO AUTOLAND displays on PFD if a multi channel approach is selected but MCA engage status (Land 2/3) has not been annunciated by
600ft AGL
On the -8, What does the FAC (armed) as roll mode FMA indicate?
-APP switch selected, and AFDS is set for conduct of an IAN (Integrated Approach Navigation) procedure
What indicates you are 1/3 of a dot deviation from the LLZ?
The LLZ pointer is just touching the rectangle during expanded LLZ deviation scale
(Low altitude: scale turns amber and flashes to indicate deviation)
How can you control your displays if the EFIS control panel fails?
Through the related CDU
What source selector switch would you likely move in the event of an ALT or SPD flag in view of the PFD?
Air data source selector
On the -8, how is the airspeed range for acceptable VNAV path indicated on the PFD airspeed displayed? (Flaps up or down)
VNAV speed band
-The -8 ANP bars change colours to what if the navigation pointer moves into the bar area for how many seconds?
-Amber
-5 seconds
On the -8, when do the vertical anticipation cues display?
-With in 25nm of MAP
-With in 60degrees of Final Approach Course (FAC)
-Track within 90 degrees of FAC
-<6000ft above field elevation
On the -8, when do the IAN scales display?
-LNAV/VNAV are not active modes
-Approach is in the active flight plan
-<150nm from destination OR
-<50nm from TOD
-FMC is in the descent mode
On the -8, what will display if the ISFD initialization is not complete within 6 minutes?
ATT; RST Initialization message
On the -8, what does the Vertical Situation Display (VSD) represent?
A profile view of the aircraft and its environment along the current track
On the -8 VSD Enroute swath is inhibited on T/O and Approach when the aircraft is within ____nm of the Runway, and less than ____ft?
6nm and 3000ft
-8 Electronic checklist open loop action items require:
Flight crew to manually confirm completion with cursor control
