Pg173 A/T arm switch ON arms which modes ?
arms autothrottle system for mode selection
• autothrottle operates when N1, SPD, V NAV, FL CH, or GA switch is pushed

-300 Aircraft
descending in VNAV PTH, pitch mode changes to VNAV SPD. Selected speed maintained by pitch until airplane intercepts an altitude constraint and VNAV PTH reengages. Although, if on approach, pitch mode remains in VNAV PTH and autothrottle controls speed.

passing top of descent point if the MCP is not set to an altitude below cruise altitude.
Pg177 how does FLIGHT LEVEL change work with pitch and thrust ?

a degraded operating condition exists in engaged autopilot extinguished when condition is corrected or an alternate autopilot is selected, provided fault is not common to alternate autopilot.
Land 3 indication means:
With a LAND 3 indication, the autopilot system level of redundancy is such that a single fault cannot prevent the autopilot system from making an automatic landing (fail operational).
Pg 197 Land 2 indication means:
With a LAND 2 indication, the level of redundancy is such that a single fault cannot cause a significant deviation from the flight path (fail passive).
Pg 197 Explain the ASA display function below 200 ft.
Below 200 feet radio altitude the ASA display cannot change except to indicate a NO AUTOLND condition. Faults not requiring immediate crew action or awareness are annunciated after touchdown.
Pg198 Explain the different Auto Throttle modes
Autothrottle Modes
Autothrottle annunciations are:
• SPD – autothrottle controlling thrust to maintain speed selected in IAS/Mach or, if VNAV engaged, the speed as programmed by the FMC
• IDLE – autothrottle is reducing or has reduced thrust to flight idle. It may engage in a VNAV descent. It will, after FLARE is engaged
• THR HOLD – thrust levers remain in existing position or where manually placed
• N1 – autothrottle controlling to the selected N1 reference thrust
• FLCH – autothrottle controlling to a maximum of the selected mode
reference thrust during climb, and to a minimum thrust during descent
-300 Aircaft
• GA – autothrottle controlling to a maximum reference thrust to maintain a climb rate of at least 2000 fpm. If both flight directors and the autopilot are off, autothrottle controls to go–around reference thrust subject to flap and VMO limit speeds
Pg 201 TO mode on the ground will have a initial pitch of how many degrees and after takeoff it will command pitch for what speed ?
On the ground, TO annunciates by selecting either F/D switch ON when both flight directors are OFF. The flight director pitch bar indicates an initial pitch of approximately eight degrees up.
After takeoff, the AFDS commands a pitch attitude to maintain:
• pitch command greater of V2 + 15 knots or liftoff speed + 15
• if current airspeed remains above the target speed for 5 seconds, target
airspeed resets to current airspeed, to a maximum of V2 + 25 knots
• IAS/MACH window speed if IAS/MACH window speed is changed to
a speed greater than the target speed.
Pg 198 On a go around the GA mode of the auto throttles will control thrust to maintain how much V/S ?
autothrottle controlling to a maximum reference thrust to maintain a climb rate of at least 2000 fpm
Pg 347 on the EICAS what does each indication represent ?
