Q

Thrust considerations for wet runway takeoff?

A
  • Can use derate/assumed temp on wet runway for DZ and -RA only
  • No assumed temp for greater than DZ or -RA
17
Q

Surface area considerations for contaminated runway?

A

> 25% of rwy or ice anywhere

18

A

12mm

100mm

19
Q

Can land on contaminated runway with tailwind?

A

No

20
Q

What must be operative to land on contaminated runway?

A

A reverser, spoilers and antiskid

21
Q

Approach mode continues VNAV descent if window alt is at least _____ above current alt

A

300ft

22
Q

When does VNAV approach mode arm

A
  • Flaps 1
  • Within 12nm of touchdown if dct to point on approach
  • Approaching FAF or 1st waypoint if active approach
  • MAPP active waypoint and within 25nm
23
Q

Max VREF additive?

A

20kts

24
Q

Any wind correction (additive) to Vref if A/T used?

A

No

25
Q

VREF additive formula if manual thrust

A

Half head plus all gust

26
Q

Engine warm up (-200)

A
Recommended
• >1.5hrs shutdown 5min
• <1.5hrs shutdown 3min
• use taxi thrust during this time
Requirement
• oil temp > lower amber band before take off
27
Q

Engine warm up (-300)

A
Recommended
• 3min 
• taxi thrust 
Requirement
• oil temp > bottom of temp scale
28
Q

Engine cool down (-200)

A
  • 1min (taxi thrust)
29
Q

Engine cool down (-300)

A
  • 3min (taxi thrust)
30
Q

Tail strike attitudes (-200)

A
  • T/O = 12.1

- Land (struts compressed) = 10.2

31
Q

Tail strike attitudes (-300)

A
  • T/O = 10

- Land (struts compressed) = 7.6

32
Q

Difference between FMC OPT ECON and LRC?

A

ECON = Min cost
LRC = Min Fuel
Neither account for temp or wind and provides min 1.5g / 48deg AoB margin

33
Q

What does FMC MAX altitude provide?

A

Weight / temp / thrust / speed / 1 or 2 engine limit by certificated thrust
(-200) = 1.2g / 33deg AoB
(-300) = 1.3G / 40deg AoB

34
Q

What does FMC RCMD altitude provide?

A

Most economical alt for the next 250-500nm using forecast temp and wind

35
Q

What does FMC OPT cruise altitude provide?

A

long range cruise wind altitude trade

36
Q

Is it better to be higher or lower than OPT CRZ altitude?

A

Better to be slightly low rather than slightly high. Requires more tail wind to make up for being slightly too high compared to being slightly low. (+1000ft to -3000ft)

37
Q

ETP fuel based on what for calculating?

A
  • ETP to div at 14k’
  • 5% wind
  • icing fuel
  • 15 min hold @ 1500’
  • inst approach
  • PDA overall
  • APU fuel if ETP1D
38
Q

Compass switches automatically to TRUE in

A

The keyhole shape region (switches automatically at 82degN)
