Briefings

Question 1

TAXI, TOLD BRIEF

Answer 1

Crew this will be a L/R seat 20d max mode takeoff TRT N1 = ____ Takeoff N1_____ S1_____________ Rotate__________ 3 engine climb____ 4 engine climb____ flaps up at ___(Vco+25)___and 2,000 AGL. Emergency approach and Vref are______and ____KIAS. High terrain is to the north and east, emergencies are as briefed. WE are cleared the _____departure to ______, expecting ___(level off altitude)______ 10 minutes after departure

Question 2

TAKEOFF BRIEF

Answer 2

I will taxi on to the runway using all four engines. I may bring the inboards back to control speed. As we take the runway you clear right and I will clear left. AS I line up with centerline I’ll bring all four demand pointers to 50% N1, call “Four In The Range” when all engines are stable between 40-45% N1. I will push the throttles up to takeoff N1 then hand them to you to fine tune. Call “90kts”,”PICKLE”, “S1”, and “ROTATE”. I’ll rotate 8-9d nose high and call for gear up after we have a positive rate of climb. I’ll maintain Vco+10 until 2,000’ AGL then call for flaps up. I will call for climb power and after takeoff climb checklist while accelerating to 250 kts. At 2,000’ put both RGA switches to GYRO

Question 3

APPROACH BRIEF

Answer 3

Crew this is a L/R seat_____appr to RY______. With a descent rate of _____ to our DH/MDA of _____ in the event of an unplanned go around ensure all throttles are advanced and check speed brakes @ 0d. Stabilized approach criteria will apply

Question 4

TOUCH AND GO BRIEF

Answer 4

Attention to brief. I will land in the first 3,000’ on centerline. If I get off centerline I will use the end of the runway to correct to centerline. If anyone sees an unsafe condition prior to touchdown call it out or call a go around. I will maintain crosswind controls and fly the nosewheel to the ground. Once the nosewheel touches down I will stand the throttles up. PNF, reset the flaps to 20d and about 1 unit nose up trim. Ensure all engines remain in flight ide, then tell me to “PUSH EM UP.” I will push the throttles to to approximately 80% then hand them to you to fine tune. Call “rotate” at Vref+gust. We will use the “PUSH EM UP” call for a Go/No Go

Question 5

FULL STOP BRIEF

Answer 5

I will land in the first 3,000’ and fly the nosewheel down. I will get my own speed brakes. Back me up to ensure the throttles are all in idle and engines go to ground idle. Ensure the speed brakes deploy. Help me hold the control column forward and call out distance remaining and airspeed.

Question 6

Engine Start Briefing

Answer 6

If there is a problem with the APU during start we will monitor the light and perform the checklist on E-28. We will use the normal engine start sequence of 3-4-1-2. Copilot will work the throttles and pilot will work the switches. Call positive N1 and oil Px. At 25% N2 or max motoring, place the throttle in start. Fuel flow should be less than 680. After ignition, monitor EGT to ensure 40% N2 prior to 600 EGT at 50% N2 place the throttle in idle.

Question 7

T/O Emergencies (Mr. Long reference)

Answer 7

• Prior to S₁ tell me what you see, I’ll make the decision to abort.*
• If we abort…*
• Left Seat
  
  • Take the jet, apply boldface, call for checklist when clear of runway or stopped
• Right seat
  
  • Backup left seat, call “ground idle”, speed + distance remaining, be ready for abort checklist
• Boom
  
  • Backup boldface application, note brake speed application
• After S₁ we’ll continue the T/O unless the jet is unflyable*
• For multiple engine loss…*
• firewall inboard throttle, dump fuel and crossover as applicable
• Once we commit to crash landing…*
• PF
  
  • Apply boldface, direct “flaps 50” prior to touchdown, turn to avoid obstacles, delay gear extension to clear obstacles
• PM
  
  • Backup PF, make “brace for impact” over CALL function, make MAYDAY call
• Boom
  
  • Backup PF, call out airspeed and AOA deviation
• For ditching over water…*
• Set flaps 20, ensure landing gear is up
• If we experience Runwaway Stab Trim…*
• PF
  
  • fly the jet, state “TRIM TRIM TRIM”
• PM
  
  • cut-out stab trim, grab wheel if it doesnt work
• Boom
  
  • monitor stab trim, tell PF is it moves on T/O, pull circuit breakers if cut-out doesnt work

For Uncommanded Rudder/Yaw/Roll…

• PF
  
  • Fly the jet, state “RUDDER PWR OFF”
• PM
  
  • Turn rudder pwr off, check rudder pressure drops, if not…
• Boom
  
  • reset rudder pwr valve circuit, advise PF prior to reset

For Engine Fire/Failure during Flight…

• PF
  
  • Fly the jet, initiate/coordinate boldface after gear is up and safe altitude is reached
• PM
  
  • Backup PF (airspeed, HDG), coordinate boldface actions, scan engines, inform PF of N₁, EGT, N₂, fuel flow
• Boom
  
  • cleared to scan affected engine

If we experience Smoke and Fumes…

• PF
  
  • Keep flying
• PM
  
  • Don oxygen mask, take jet while PF dons mask, crew report
• Boom
  
  • Don mask, ventilate jet via sextant port, check on crewmembers and Pax
