Cruise - Descent - Approach - Land Flashcards
Standardized Descent Speed
At domestic stations and most international stations, descend using the following
• Cruise mach to the 290 knots crossover altitude.
• 290 knots to 10,000 feet.
• 250 knots below 10,000 feet.
Holding Flaps
Hold in clean configuration if possible. Using flaps 1 during holding uses approximately 5% more fuel than flaps up.
Standard Landing assessment when
If the Usable Landing Length is 8000 feet or longer and field elevation is 3000 feet or below, provided
• Expected braking action is GOOD or better
• Landing weight is less than structural limit
• Flaps 25 or 30
• No tail wind
• No MEL/CDL items that affect landing performance.
Otherwise, check landing performance using non-standard assessment procedures.
Autoland capability may be used with flaps?
Engines?
flaps 20, 25, or 30, or with One Engine Inoperative.
To use non-ILS approach procedures when is AP and FD for pilot flying required
AP and FD for PF is required for vis less
than 1000/3 or RNP less than 0.3.
To use non-ILS approach procedures contained in this section, the approach must be selected from
the FMS nav database and the MAP mode must be available and selected.
To use non-ILS approach procedures What vertical mode may be used on approach?
Approaches can be flown using IAN,
VNAV, V/S, or FPA pitch modes. The use of FLCH is not recommended after the FAF on ANY approach.
When is Baro/DH set for minimums?
Baro - Non ILS DA/MDA/DDA, CAT-I DA
DH - SA CAT-I, CAT-II, CAT-III LAND2, CAT-III LAND3 Zero or DH if required
What are the 5 possible CATIII minimums?
RVR-AFDS-MINS-Alert?
600-Land2-50DH-None 600-Land3-NoDH-100Alert 600-Land3-DH-None 300-Land3-NoDH-100Alert 300-Land3-DH-None
Is Holding with flaps allowed?
If the FMC holding speed is greater than the ICAO or FAA maximum holding speed, holding may be conducted at flaps 1, using flaps 1 maneuver speed. Flaps
1 uses approximately 5% more fuel than flaps up.
Non-ILS approaches are defined as:
- RNAV (RNP) AR
- RNAV (GPS/GNSS)
- LOC, LOC BC, LDA, SDF,
- VOR
- NDB
Under FAA criteria: the 787 is classified as a Category?
Category “D” airplane.
Raw data must be monitored on VOR approaches if
the navigation database is out of date.
Both pilots will use the HUD (if operative) during all approaches when the
visibility is less than 4000 RVR (1200m) or 3/4 mile
The autopilot and flight director for the pilot flying must be operable and used when the reported ceiling is ___ or the visibility is ___
1000 feet AGL or the visibility is less than 3 sm (1000/3)
Non-ILS - Continue approach and disengage autopilot (if engaged) no lower than
135 feet AGL and maintain stabilized approach to touchdown.
RNAV (GPS/GNSS) Approach Requirements
The minimum RNAV (GPS/GNSS) approach is
RNP 0.30.
RNP(s) below 0.30 will require anh.
ANP Prediction from Dispatc
The maximum airspeed on the final approach segment of an RNAV (RNP) approach is
180 knots.
Are engine inoperative approaches are authorized (IAN)?
Note: Dual engine or engine inoperative approaches are authorized (IAN).
IAN may not be used (3)
circling approaches, or a runway alignment
greater than 30° from the Final Approach Course (FAC), or approaches that include a course change over the FAF.
Direct to modifications are not permitted when:
- the fix is the beginning of an RF leg
* the fix is the Final Approach Fix (FAF) for the procedure
For localizer based approaches with the glide slope out or unreliable, select
the G/S prompt OFF on the APPROACH REF page to ensure the FMC generated glide path is flown.
Use of IAN for RNAV RNP Approaches
IAN may be used for the final approach segment of RNAV RNP approaches with a single course from the IF to the MAP. LNAV/VNAV must be used for RNAV(RNP) approaches with RF legs between the glide path intercept waypoint and the MAP.
MDA may be used as a DA (no add) if in VNAV PTH or G/P and the approach has a coded GP in any of the following three situations (3):
- Ball note reads: “Only authorized operators may use VNAV DA in lieu of MDA”, or
- Runway has a published ILS approach (applies when conducting an ILS with the glideslope inoperative or a LOC approach), or
- Runway has a VASI or PAPI.
In all other cases, set a Derived Decision Altitude (DDA), equal to the published MDA + 50 feet.
