Question 1

Scenario
Scenario
You are on the KRNO RNAV(RNP)Z 17L approach, established on the RF Leg between
OQIKO and YETUD, ATC cancels your approach clearance and instructs you to fly the
published missed approach.

Scenario You are on the KRNO RNAV(RNP)Z 17L Approach

Answer 1

Scenario
You are on the KRNO RNAV(RNP)Z 17L approach, established on the RF Leg between
OQIKO and YETUD, ATC cancels your approach clearance and instructs you to fly the
published missed approach.

Question 2

Q.3.1 What are some considerations while
executing the missed approach?

Answer 2

▪ Maximum airspeed on the RF Leg
▪ Lateral flight path tolerances
▪ Deleting the manually entered RNP value

Reference: AOM 11.5.2, AIM 5-5-5

Question 3

Q.3.2 What effect does selecting TO/GA have on
the roll mode in this situation?

Answer 3

LNAV remains the active mode.
Reference: AOM 11.5.2

Question 4

Q.3.3 What effect would selecting TO/GA have on
the pitch mode in this situation?

Answer 4

The F/Ds command 15º nose up pitch. After reaching
a programmed rate of climb, pitch commands the
target airspeed for each flap setting based on
maximum takeoff weight calculations. This may
exceed maximum airspeed for the RF leg.
Reference: FRM 4.2.2.7.2

Question 5

Q.3.4 What effect would selecting TO/GA have on
the Autothrottle mode in this situation?

Answer 5

With the first push of either TO/GA switch, A/T (if
armed) engages in GA and advances thrust toward
the reduced go-around N1 to produce 1,000 to 2,000
fpm rate of climb, if the aircraft is below 2,000 ft RA.

Reference: FRM 4.2.4.3.7

Question 6

Q.3.5 How would you terminate the TO/GA mode
from the F/D when desired?

Answer 6

▪ If the aircraft is below 400 ft RA, both F/D
switches must be turned off.
▪ If the aircraft is above 400 ft RA, select a different
pitch or roll mode.
▪ Selecting either Autopilot to CMD (changes pitch
mode to LVL CHG).

Reference: FRM 4.2.4.3.7

Question 7

Q.3.6 When initiating a go-around, the Pilot rotates
smoothly toward what pitch attitude before following
flight director guidance?

Answer 7

15°

Reference: AOM 11.5.2, AOM 11.5.3

Question 8

Q.3.7 What happens to the Autopilot when TO/GA is
selected?

Answer 8

Autopilot (if engaged) disengages

Reference: FRM 4.2.4.3.7

Question 9

Q.3.8 What happens to the IAS/Mach display when
TO/GA is selected?

Answer 9

The IAS/Mach display blanks
