FCTM

Question 1

What action should be taken if speeds disappear during takeoff

Answer 1

PM shall call our speeds.

If speeds are lost and cannot be remembered, rotate 5-10 knots before V2 which should be placed on MCP.

Question 2

What is the TAC activation speed?

Answer 2

70kts and above

Question 3

Under fire condition over the runway considerations

Answer 3

Consider positioning the airplane so the fire is on the downwind side

Question 4

When will LNAV engage after liftoff?

Answer 4

50’ AGL or within 2.5NM of the active leg.

Question 5

Minimum height for AP engagement after liftoff?

Answer 5

200’

Question 6

When accelerating for flap retraction, the flaps are selected to the new position as the speed passes the current flap setting. Is maneuvering assured with this under speed condition?

Answer 6

Yes, at least 30° of bank are assured, and 40° once the minimum maneuvering is reached.

Question 7

Rotation pitch target

Answer 7

Normal conditions: toward 15°

One engine: 11-12° (1.5-2° per second)

Question 8

Liftoff attitude

Answer 8

300ER: 9°
Freighter: 9.5°

Question 9

Takeoff tail strike pitch

Answer 9

300ER: 10°
Freighter: 12.1°

Question 10

With one engine out, when will VNAV change the thrust limit to CON

Answer 10

With the flaps up, and airspeed at or above the flaps up maneuver speed.

Question 11

With one engine out, what speed should be flown after CON thrust is selected?

Answer 11

FMC should command a climb at flaps up maneuver speed. If not, select FLCH and flaps up maneuver speed until clear of obstacles.

Question 12

Normal rotation speed

Answer 12

2°-2.5° which will achieve rotation target in 4 seconds

Question 13

What’s the ECON climb schedule when FMC is inop?

Answer 13

250kts/ VREF+80 whichever is higher below 10,000’

310kts/ 0.84M above 10,000’

Question 14

Maximum rate of climb?

Answer 14

Flaps up+ 60 until intercepting 0.82M
