aircraft as follows:
Flight crew or Headset Operator, “STOP! STOP! STOP!”
During engine start, words used for unscheduled shut down?
“Cut Cut Cut”
After disconnect, the Headset Operator will stand clear within view of the flight
deck and signal that it is safe to taxi the aircraft. Flight crew will acknowledge this
clearance (day / night):
● by day, with a thumbs-up signal from the appropriate side ● by night or in conditions of low visibility, by flashing an appropriate external light once (eg taxi or runway turn-off light).
To recall the Headset Operator after disconnect, flash an appropriate external light _____ times.

● select strobe lights ON and consider using other exterior lights, such as runway
turn‒off lights, until crossing is complete.
When an aircraft is manoeuvring under its own power to a gate, an approved _________ must be used.
guidance system (either a visual docking system or ground marshaller)
If the actual or forecast wind is greater than ______ kts, the parking brake shall remain set, unless in consultation with ground personnel operational conditions, (eg high brake temps) require the parking brake be released.
25
When a known condition that could endanger ground crew exists (eg hot brakes), the aircraft _____ will be left on as a warning not to approach the aircraft, except to establish contact via service interphone and determine subsequent action.

● commanded thrust is valid
● WXR/TERR set as required
● relationship between the FMC position and runway position is reasonable on
the EHSI/ND
● FMAs are correct.
Distractions during the line-up phase are a leading cause of runway incursions. To
mitigate these distractions, only the items listed shall be carried out whilst entering a
runway (4):
● confirm runway and final approach are clear of traffic
