Question 1

What are the callouts for an Engine Failure After V1, Flaps 9?

Answer 1

• “Set Max Thrust”
  + “Positive Rate”, * “Gear UP”, + “In Transit”
• “Select Heading (or NAV), Select Speed V2”
  + “Acceleration Altitude”, * “Select Altitude Hold”
  + “V2+15”, * “Flaps Up”
  + “VFS”, * “Select Speed VFS, Max Cont Thrust”
  + “1500”, * “Engine Failure Checklist”

Question 2

What color is the V2 bug?

Around what speed is it usually?

Answer 2

White

135 kts

Question 3

What color is the VFS bug?

Around what speed is it usually?

Answer 3

Green

165 kts

Question 4

During an Engine Failure After V1, the PF says “Select Speed VFS, Max Continuous Thrust”. What does the PM do?

Answer 4

Moves the speed bug to the Green Bug (VFS)

Presses the CON thrust button (2nd from left) on the pedestal

Question 5

Question 7

During an Engine Failure After V1, when the PF says “Select Altitude Hold”, what does the PM do?

Answer 7

Presses the ALT button on the eyebrow panel.

Question 8

V2+15 will come at about what speed?

Answer 8

Around 150 kts

Question 9

During an Engine Failure After V1, if you are already faster than V2, what speed should you target prior to acceleration altitude?

Answer 9

Hold the current speed, but not more than V2+10

which will be about 145 kts

Question 10

You’re flying an RNAV approach. When to you select the various flaps, & what power setting should you use?

Answer 10

Start with Flaps 9 at 5 miles
Then gear down flaps 22
Be flaps 45 by 2 nm prior to the FAF

Question 11

You’re flying an RNAV approach. 2 miles prior to the FAF you’re flaps 45, landing checklist compete. Now what should you do?

Answer 11

Tell the PM “Select Vertical Speed Zero”

Question 12

You’re descending on an RNAV approach. You reach MDA & see the runway. What should you do to get the aircraft to the runway?

Answer 12

Put the pointy end of the triangle on the horizon & throttle for speed.

Question 13

When you hit the “Go-Around” buttons on the throttle, what does the Flight Director do?

Answer 13

In GA mode, the FD bars command 10 degrees nose up for 20 seconds, THEN command the airspeed selected with the airspeed bug which should be Vapp/climb.

Question 14

During a rejected takeoff, what all does the FO do?

Answer 14

FO may call for “reject”, then after the CA takes the a/c:

1) Contact the tower
2) Make an announcement

Question 15

If on the takeoff roll as PM you saw a #1 Gen Fail, what would you say & what could you expect from the PF?

Answer 15

PM: “#1 Generator Fail”
PF: “Continue”

Question 16

What lateral/vertical mode are you in when you takeoff? Where will the command bars be?

Answer 16

ROL-TO which will keep you wings level (lateral) and give you a pitch angle of 14 degrees nose up (vertical) if you are Flaps 9. The command bars will be level, 14 degrees nose up.

Question 17

On final approach, hitting the go-around buttons on the throttle does what?

Answer 17

Puts you in the ROL-GA mode. This mode commands a pitch angle of 10 degrees nose up for 20 seconds, and then usually goes into IAS (called “speed” mode), which is why it is important to have Vapp/climb set.
