Q

The Heading Select mode provides lateral guidance through the use of which control?

A

HDG knob

17
Q

In Takeoff mode, what are the minimum and maximum limits for pitch?

A

8° to 18°

18
Q

What has to occur to get the Altitude Hold mode to change to the Glideslope or VNAV Glidepath Mode?

A

The Glideslope or Glidepath must be armed by pushing the APP button

19
Q

GA mode does not transition to ASEL/ALT modes if the selected altitude is within a _____ft window from the altitude of TOGA activation.

A

400 ft

20
Q

WSHR activates when (3):

A

a. A windshear warning or caution condition is detected and either TOGA button is pressed
b. A windshear warning condition is detected and the thrust lever is set to the TOGA position
c. Automatically when a windshear warning condition is detected and the aircraft is in the TO or GA mode

21
Q

When climbing using VNAV, the default sub-mode will always be FLCH (T/F).

A

True

22
Q

Windshear detection is available at what altitudes?

A

Between 10 feet and 1500 feet AGL

23
Q

What is the function of the red AP/TRIM DISC button on the yoke?

A

a. Autopilot/trim system disengagement

b. Stops any active trim command if the button is pushed and held

24
Q

What is the difference between APPR 1 and APPR 2?

A

APPR 1: CAT I capable

APPR 2: CAT II capable

25
Q

What does the green arrow on the FMA indicate?

A

The selected FMA source

26
Q

What does the SRC button do?

A

Alternates between the captain and first officer FMA modes as source for the autopilot

27
Q

What is the retard mode (RETD)?

A

Thrust is reduced to idle during flare on landing and engages at or below 30 ft AGL

28
Q

What do LIM and OVRD mean on the FMA?

A

LIM: Autothrottle authority is not sufficient to achieve or maintain the selected airspeed
OVRD: Authrottle can be overridden by moving the thrust levers in any direction without causing its disengagement

29
Q

When is CRZ automatically selected?

A

a. Levelled at the altitude set on the altitude preselector for 90 seconds
b. Airspeed is within 9 knots of the preselected airspeed

30
Q

What is FPA?

A

Flight Path Angle is a pilot selectable pitch attitude (in degrees) of climb or descent
FGCS adjust thrust and pitch to maintain path angle and airspeed

31
Q

What is the function of the TCS button?

A

a. Momentarily overrides the pilot
b. Press and hold synchronizes FD with current aircraft attitude
c. When released, FD returns to the lateral and vertical selection when the TCS was pressed. With ROLL/VS/FPA modes, the FD maintains the aircraft attitude when the TCS is released.

32
Q

When does the FD maintain aircraft attitude after the TCS is released?

A

In the ROLL/VS/FPA modes
