Question 9

Air Conditioning Panel Setup
We have seen a rise in incorrect air conditioning panel setup. Most errors involve leaving the Isolation Valve or Pack switch in the incorrect position for engine start. Errors also frequently involve configuration of the Isolation Valve and Pack switches for taxi, as well as several Engine Bleed Air switch taxi configuration errors.

Question 10

Flight Suite
For your 2024 CQ you will be able to use Flight Suite during your LOE as you would out on the line (authorized for use for landing at any time at the Captain’s discretion). In order to use Flight Suite in the training environment you will need to follow these steps:
Go to Utilities Tab>Tap on the Mode Selector (should currently say “Line Ops Mode”)>Select “Training”>Enter the password “train”>Select Confirm. Flight Suite will then alert you that it is in Training Mode. After entry into training mode there will also be an amber dashed border around the screen to also signify that you are in Training Mode.
Please ensure you change the mode back to “Line Ops” after you are complete with the Training Mode.

Question 11

Reverse Thrust Deployment
We have seen a recent uptick in delay of reverse thrust deployment on landing. Initiating reverse thrust at touchdown is an important factor in achieving proper deceleration performance and minimizing brake temperatures.

Question 16

Describe the appropriate action to comply with this clearance (if it is deemed acceptable).

Answer 16

Select the LOAD>prompt LSK 4R (AOM 16.5.4.1.5)
Verify that the route loaded correctly on the RTE and/or LEGS page, verbalize FMC route changes after LOAD is complete
Select Accept>prompt LSK 5R
Execute the route change in the FMC (AOM 16.5.4.1.5)
