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
Q

T/O or land not permitted when slush, wet snow, or standing water depth is more than ___ mm or dry snow depth is more than ___ mm

A

12mm

100mm

19
Q

Can land on contaminated runway with tailwind?

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

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?

24
Q

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

25
VREF additive formula if manual thrust
Half head plus all gust
26
Engine warm up (-200)
``` 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
Engine warm up (-300)
``` Recommended • 3min • taxi thrust Requirement • oil temp > bottom of temp scale ```
28
Engine cool down (-200)
- 1min (taxi thrust)
29
Engine cool down (-300)
- 3min (taxi thrust)
30
Tail strike attitudes (-200)
- T/O = 12.1 | - Land (struts compressed) = 10.2
31
Tail strike attitudes (-300)
- T/O = 10 | - Land (struts compressed) = 7.6
32
Difference between FMC OPT ECON and LRC?
ECON = Min cost LRC = Min Fuel Neither account for temp or wind and provides min 1.5g / 48deg AoB margin
33
What does FMC MAX altitude provide?
Weight / temp / thrust / speed / 1 or 2 engine limit by certificated thrust (-200) = 1.2g / 33deg AoB (-300) = 1.3G / 40deg AoB
34
What does FMC RCMD altitude provide?
Most economical alt for the next 250-500nm using forecast temp and wind
35
What does FMC OPT cruise altitude provide?
long range cruise wind altitude trade
36
Is it better to be higher or lower than OPT CRZ altitude?
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
ETP fuel based on what for calculating?
* ETP to div at 14k’ * 5% wind * icing fuel * 15 min hold @ 1500’ * inst approach * PDA overall * APU fuel if ETP1D
38
Compass switches automatically to TRUE in
The keyhole shape region (switches automatically at 82degN)
