Auto Flight & Flight Instuments

Question 1

How do you re-engage the AT if pitch mode is V/S ALT or G/S?

Answer 1

Push the SPD switch

Question 2

How do you re-engage the AT when pitch mode is in VNAV___ or FLCH?

Answer 2

Cycle the AT arm switch off then back to ARM

Question 3

What function is reflected if the THR switch light..

Answer 3

Remains extinguished: Thrust limit function
Illuminated: A/T mode function

Question 4

How do you deselect the approach mode after LOC and G/S capture?

Answer 4

-Select TOGA or
-Disengage A/P & both FD switches off

Question 5

Can the glide slope be captured prior to LOC intercept?

Answer 5

No: Glide slope capture is inhibited until localizer capture and the intercept angle is with in 80 degrees of the localizer course.

Question 6

What does an amber horizontal line displayed through an active pitch or roll mode indicate?

Answer 6

A flight mode fault is detected

Question 7

When will VNAV activate during takeoff?

Answer 7

400ft above runway elevation

Question 8

When is TOGA mode terminated after take off?

Answer 8

By selecting another pitch and roll mode, or by activation of (armed) LNAV/VNAV modes

Question 9

In flight, when is TOGA armed?

Answer 9

Flaps out of UP OR
Glide slope captured

Question 10

On approach, with first push of TOGA, what active AT mode would FMA display with AT armed?

Answer 10

THR.
Second Push: THR REF

Question 11

What climb rate is achieved during a go around with one TOGA push?

Answer 11

2000fpm climb

Question 12

With the APP switch selected, what altitude will the electrical buses isolate allowing multiple AP engagement for auto land ops?

Answer 12

Below 1500’ RA

Question 13

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

Answer 13

A conflict between VNAV profile and MCP altitude

Question 14

What is the maximum intercept angle that the LOC will capture with APP or LOC mode armed?

Answer 14

120degrees

Question 15

During auto land, what action normally disconnects the AT?

Answer 15

A reverse thrust lever is raised to reverse idle.

Question 16

When does the ROLLOUT mode activate?

Answer 16

Below 5ft

Question 17

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

Answer 17

600ft AGL

Question 18

On the -8, What does the FAC (armed) as roll mode FMA indicate?

Answer 18

-APP switch selected, and AFDS is set for conduct of an IAN (Integrated Approach Navigation) procedure

Question 19

What indicates you are 1/3 of a dot deviation from the LLZ?

Answer 19

The LLZ pointer is just touching the rectangle during expanded LLZ deviation scale
(Low altitude: scale turns amber and flashes to indicate deviation)

Question 20

How can you control your displays if the EFIS control panel fails?

Answer 20

Through the related CDU

Question 21

What source selector switch would you likely move in the event of an ALT or SPD flag in view of the PFD?

Answer 21

Air data source selector

Question 22

On the -8, how is the airspeed range for acceptable VNAV path indicated on the PFD airspeed displayed? (Flaps up or down)

Answer 22

VNAV speed band

Question 23

-The -8 ANP bars change colours to what if the navigation pointer moves into the bar area for how many seconds?

Answer 23

-Amber
-5 seconds

Question 24

On the -8, when do the vertical anticipation cues display?

Answer 24

-With in 25nm of MAP
-With in 60degrees of Final Approach Course (FAC)
-Track within 90 degrees of FAC
-<6000ft above field elevation

Question 25

On the -8, when do the IAN scales display?

Answer 25

-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

Question 26

On the -8, what will display if the ISFD initialization is not complete within 6 minutes?

Answer 26
