Confirm runway heading on HSI
Before Takeoff Checklist
- Runway Position
- Flap
- Navigation briefing
- Flight Attendants
- Rudder trim indicator
- EICAS and Info
“Before takeoff checklist”
- Runway Position - “36L inside, 36L outside”, “36L inside, 36L outside”
- WDR “inside”, actual “outside”
- ensure WDR intersection or longer
- Flap - “2, 2”, “2, 2”
- PERF>DEP setting first
- EICAS flap indication
- Navigation briefing - “complete”, “complete”
- Flight Attendants - “Notified & acknowledged”
- FO responds
- look for READY flag
- Rudder trim indicator - “green”, “green”
- keep it simple - just verify rudder trim green
- EICAS and Info - “checked”, “checked”
- (checking EICAS msgs, INFO flag, communications flags)
“Before takeoff checklist complete”
Normal Takeoff (NADP2)
55%… then max (follow auto-throttles)
“Captain’s throttles” (no response)
Captain’s hand remains on thrust levers until V1
“80 knots, hold thrust normal”
“V1” - Captain’s hand off thrust levers
“Rotate”
Pitch target marker, then flight director
(Sidestick trim = V2+10; no need to trim until accel ht)
“Positive rate”….”Gear up” Hand on throttles
400’ - verify/select lateral mode (If rwy hdg/vectors, request heading mode)
Autopilot above 400’ (1000 for check-ride?)
At 1000’ - verify VFLC, thrust mode = CLB (CLB at 1300’ in sim)
Passing F1 - “FLAP 1”…. “Flap 1”
Passing F0 - “FLAP 0, After takeoff checklist”
PM - “Flap 0”
“After T/O checklist”
Steps are silent
“After takeoff checklist complete”
Close-In (NADP 1) Special Takeoff Profile
Noise abatement procedure - used when directed by company pages
Differences from normal takeoff:
- Thrust reduction from takeoff (TO) power to climb (CLB) power occurs at 1500’
- Maintain airspeed until 3000’
- At 3000’, vertical mode changes to VFLC, and commands a pitch decrease for acceleration
- Retract flaps on speed (F1 - “Flap 1”, F0 - “Flap 0, after takeoff checklist”)
Gotchas
- If ATC cancels your altitude restriction, do NOT fire the VNAV, because it will cancel the NADP… that’s BAD!!!
- Instead, you must?
**Departure Windshear
- Suspected/reported prior to takeoff
- “Windshear Alert”
- “MICROBURST ALERT”
- “Monitor Radar Display” or “Windshear Ahead” after takeoff
- “WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR”
Windshear suspected/reported
- more runway
- more performance
- Use highest performance on WDR, consider TOPR for WS - “warranted safety”, change runways/use longest runway)
“Windshear Alert”
- Need more info
- Consider environmental conditions, PIREPS, radar returns, etc.
- Consult dispatch for additional information
“MICROBURST ALERT”
- Takeoff not authorized while alert is active
“Monitor Radar Display” or “Windshear Ahead” after takeoff
- Thrust levers - MAX
- Turn to avoid windshear
“WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR”
- Windshear escape maneuver
**Windshear After Takeoff
- “WINDSHEAR”
- PM actions
- “Clear of Windshear”
V1
Rotate
“Positive rate”… “Gear up” - Hand on thrust lever
PM - “Airspeed” or “slow”
“WINDSHEAR”
- Thrust levers max, TOGA
(AT engages, WSHR guidance activates)
- Pitch - 15°, then follow FD
If no FD guidance (MEL), pull to soft stop
- DO NOT turn, except to avoid terrain
_____________________
PM actions
- Verify thrust levers max
- Verify WSHR guidance in FMA
- “Guidance”, or …
- “No guidance. - TOGA”
- Verify spoilers retracted
- Call out radar altitude (“400 feet, 450 feet”)
- Advise “clear of windshear”
- PIREP
____________
“Clear of windshear”
- Stand up throttles… press AT disconnect to silence alert
- “FLC, man speed, 180… make a PIREP”
- “Autopilot”
- “Autothrottle”
- “After takeoff checklist”
_______________
**Reasons to abort - prior to 80 kts (low speed abort)
- Captain’s Decision
Three Fs (Eng failure, “FIRE”, not Flyable”)
Master Warning/Master Caution
“Config xxxx” (flaps, spoiler, brake, etc…)
Noise/vibration
Tire failure
Abnormally slow acceleration
If escape hatch opens
Windshear (Predictive windshear caution or warning)
**Reasons to abort - 80 kts to V1 (high speed abort)
- Engine failure
- Fire or fire warning (any aural annunciation with the word “FIRE”) - NOT SMOKE
- Aircraft unsafe/unable to fly
[MV] **Rejected takeoff (RTO)
**Most important **
- 80 knots call
- call tower
- Non- Normal ECL FIRST, then
- RTO checklist in PROC tab
Announce abnormality “Engine Fail” “DU fail”
Captain -
Without delay, simultaneously:
“Abort, I have the aircraft”
- Idle
- Verify RTO auto-brake or apply maximum manual wheel brakes
First officer -
- If PF, maintain aircraft control until Captain takes control
- Verify:
- Thrust levers - idle
- Max brakes
- if RTO above 60 kts, monitor for deceleration
- if below 60 kts, manual braking required
- Max reverse thrust
- “80 kts” (field length permitting)
- “Tower, Delta xxx, aborting on rwy xxx, [request emergency equipment]”
Post RTO
- PA to pax “Ladies and gentlemen, we have decided to discontinue the takeoff, please remain seated with your seatbelts fastened and we’ll get back to you shortly”
- Run Non-Normal checklists
- Reason for abort (ECL or QRH)
- Rejected takeoff - Post RTO considerations (PROC tab)
- Evacuation? [QRH] / [NNP]
Communicate 2 in, 2 out
- FA and passenger follow-up
- Company [FOM]
**Rejected takeoff factors/considerations
- Autobrake Speeds
- Common Errors
Autobrake:
≤ 60 kts - Manual brakes required
≥ 60 kts - auto-brakes active when throttles moved to idle
Common Errors:
- Words before actions (“abort” before initial abort actions)
- Delayed initiation
- Unused thrust reversers
- Moments of “uncontrolled” aircraft
- Misuse of auto/manual brakes
- Missed callouts (80 knots)
- Missed communication with ATC or cabin
[MV] **V1 Cut
PF - Rudder to maintain centerline, do not relax rudder during rotate
PM
“V1”
“Rotate”
“Engine failure”
“Positive rate”
“Gear up”
PM
“Left/right engine fail”
“Associated message” - in response to any Caution/EICAS messages that pop up related to the engine failure
PF
At/above 400’ AFE
“Declare emergency, request runway heading to a safe altitude”
PM - “Tower, Delta 642, Emergency, request runway heading to a safe altitude”
PM - “Heading 360”… PF - “Heading 360”
PM - “4000”… PF - “4000”
PF - Trim rudder to the “boop”
PF - “Autopilot on”…. PM - “Autopilot”
At/above 1000 AFE
PF - “Flight level change, MAN Speed, 180”
PM - “Flight level change, MAN Speed, 180”
PF - Verify Flap 2
PF - “After Takeoff Checklist, Engine Failure Checklist” (or checklists that pop up on the ECL page)
PM - Accomplish SILENTLY

Similar to normal approach and landing, except:
- NO AUTOLAND
- Reference ODM landing distance
- Reference NNOI
- Configure 1.5 dots below glideslope
- Remove rudder trim prior to touchdown
- In case of missed approach -
- set VAC

Build
- DEP/ARR: ILS 36L, WELET, enter, execute
- ROUTE>LEGS: Direct to WELET, crs 003, enter, execute
Bug
- Flap 4
(Don’t use ODM VREF unless FMS is way off)
- Add 5 knots for AT, or half the gust up to 10 knots
- Baro - DA

“I have the aircraft, Descent Checklist, Approach Checklist”
Downwind or 20nm - Man speed, 210, Flap 1
Base or 10nm - Man speed, 180, flap 2 (lead with speed)
Cleared Approach - [APPR], [VNAV], FCP Alt (when conditions met)
1.5 dots below glideslope
- VREF “Gear down, Flap 4, landing checklist”
On GS (prior to 1000 AFE) Missed approach Alt
Remove rudder trim prior to touchdown (Technique - after 1000’ call)
When out of weather - disengage autopilot
- Single Engine Autoland NOT authorized
When “Approaching minimums”
- CA - “Approach lights in sight”
- FO - echo, “Approach lights in sight”
Descend below 100’ with red termination bars/side row bars
At “Minimums”
- CA - “Runway in sight”
- FO - echo, “Runway in sight”
Reverse thrust should be used CAUTIOUSLY to prevent loss of control
- ODM single engine landing distance assumes no reverse thrust
**Go Around / Rejected Landing (normal)
PF - TOGA, Go around, Flap 2”
(Flap 4 if Flap 5 approach)
(AT engages)
- 15°Pitch initially, then follow FD
PM - Verify Go-Around in FMA and positive rate
ILS FMAs: THRUST | GA | AT | VGA
RNAV: THRUST | FMS1/2 | AT | VGA
(Notify PF of any incorrect FMAs)
- “Go around verified, Positive rate”
PF - “Gear up, set VGA”
PM - Raise gear, select FMS spd
400’ - Select lateral mode
1000’ - “Flight Level Change, Man Speed, 180”…”After Go-Around Checklist”
PF - [AP] “Autopilot”
PM - run checklist silently
Considerations
- GA can still be accomplished after touchdown (spoilers auto retract when thrust advanced)
- If reverse thrust selected - MUST STOP
- During approach with Autothrottles off, selecting TOGA will automatically engage AT
Go around / rejected landing (single engine)
- TOGA, “Go around, Flap 2”
(AT engages)
Rudder to counter yaw from large, asymmetrical power change
10° Pitch, then follow FD
- “Go around verified”…”Positive rate”
- “GEAR UP, Set VAC”
- 400’, verify/select lateral mode
- “Request runway hdg to safe altitude”
If maneuvering is required Half bank at/below V2+10, or below acceleration height
- Rudder to the “beep”
- 1000’ - “Flight Level Change, Man Speed, 180”…”After Go-Around Checklist”
- [AP] “Autopilot”
PM runs checklist silently
Considerations
- If the AP is engaged at time of GA, keep it engaged
- GA can still be accomplished after touchdown (spoilers auto retract when thrust advanced)
- If reverse thrust selected - MUST STOP
TTSR (Flight Leader/purser emergency briefing)
Type of Emergency
Time to prepare cabin
Special instructions
Repeat (have FL repeat back to ensure understanding)
Visual Approach
**Along track waypoint is ONLY for RNAV approaches to get you within the cone
Best practice is to just slew your heading, OR go direct to a point just prior to the FAF (DEFOX on RNAV Y 36L at CLT

RNAV Approach (LPV)
Big nuggets
- FAF ALT = At (not At/Above)
Build
- DEP/ARR
- Arrivals - RNAV RWY 36L, WELET, enter, execute
- Sequence: move to from or extend CRS in (snowflake, Direct, spin crs… enter, execute)
- ROUTE>LEGS - FAF snowflake> CROSSING…> Change AT/ABOVE to AT… enter, execute
- Arrival Data - WAAS, LPV
- Ensure NAV SRC = FMS
Bug -
- SET VSPEEDS (Flap - 4, VREF+5 [or more if gusts >11])
- Baro (DA for LPV)
Brake - Use QRLL (-100: 6500M/8500L; -300: 7500M/9500L)

[MV] ILS Glideslope Out (Localizer Only Approach)
- Build, Bug, Brake, Brief
- Cleared Approach
Big differences
- DDA (MDA+50)
- Build 5 mile and 0.3 NM ring (fix) around FAF
- During AVA Set DDA, not FAF alt
- When established (APPR LOC 1/2 in FMA), select [NAV] to disable vertical guidance
- Configure 5 NM from FAF (must be configured prior to FAF)
- FPA -3.O (or as charted) at 0.3 NM
- Set Missed Approach alt once below MA and FAF alt, but above 1000’
Build
- Load ILS (not LOC - see notes below)
- Direct IAF, INBD course, enter, execute
- 0.3 NM ring around FAF
- 5 NM ring around FAF
BUG
- Set VSPEEDS
- Set DDA (MDA + 50)

- A - Set DDA in FCP Altitude Selector Window
[APPR LOC 1/2] active - Select NAV mode
(Removes vertical/glideslope guidance)
- [LOC1/2] becomes active, no GS
5 NM prior to the FAF
- Configure
- VREF, “Gear Down, Flaps 4, Landing Checklist”
Must be configured PRIOR to FAF!
At 0.3 NM prior to FAF (as soon as you hit the range ring around the FAF)
- Select FPA
- Dial -3.0° (or charted descent angle)
Descending below FAF and Missed Approach Altitude
- Set Missed Approach Altitude NLT 1000’
- Otherwise aircraft will level off at the DDA - unstable!
CA - “Approach lights in sight”, FO echoes
“CA - “Runway in sight”, FO echoes
Disengage Autopilot NLT 80’
Notes:
If flying an ILS with Glideslope Out (as opposed to an approach designed as localizer only), then load the ILS approach into the FMS
- Do NOT select LOC from FMS database unless it is a localizer-only approach
Loss of Autothrottle during Takeoff
**Set thrust levers to the White Tick Mark and continue **
“80 knots, …. Thrust normal”
(Don’t even mention “Hold,” it’s just confusing)
Once thrust levers are advanced to takeoff thrust, DO NOT attempt to re-engage AT until 400’ AGL
For headwinds greater than 40 knots, the autothrottle system may not achieve the takeoff N1 value. Set the thrust manually, if required.
