Auto flight/navigation (Go-Around) Flashcards
When is the A/P GA mode NOT available?
- No A/P or single A/P engaged
- Prior to FLARE ARMED on a dual A/P operation.
What happens to the A/T when the TO/GA switch is selected?
A/T (if armed) engages in GA and the A/T column of the FMA indicates GA.
What thrust mode is indicated after the first push of either TO/GA switch during a go-around?
Pitch mode engages in TO/GA and the FMA indicates TO/GA.
What occurs to the commanded airspeed in TO/GA mode during a go-around?
The command airspeed cursor automatically moves to a target airspeed for the existing flap position based on maximum takeoff weight calculations.
What is the FMA Thrust mode after the second push of either TO/GA switch during a go-around?
The A/T advances to the full go-around N1 limit.
When does LNAV engage on go-around after a dual autopilot approach?
During autoland operations with FLARE arm or FLARE engage displayed, when airplane is above 400 feet. Below that altitude the roll mode will be track hold.
When does LNAV engage on go-around after a single autopilot approach?
LNAV will engage when the airplane is above 50 feet. Below that altitude the mode will be track hold.
What is the FMA thrust mode after the selection of TO/GA when the A/T Arm switch is in the off position?
The thrust mode remains blank.
Manual actuation of the thrust levers is required to set a proper go-around thrust setting.
What items need to be verified when executing the Go-Around Procedure?
Verify:
* Rotation to go-around pitch attitude
* Thrust setting
* Proper FMA mode annunciation
When is the Go-Around mode (GA) armed on the Upper Display Unit?
GA is annunciated:
* When descending below 2000 feet RA
* When above 2000 feet RA with flaps not up or G/S captured
This occurs with or without the AFDS engaged.
When is the A/P GA mode available?
The A/P GA mode requires dual A/P operation and is available after FLARE armed is annunciated and prior to the A/P sensing touchdown.
