FDX B757 Procedures (PHB) Flashcards
Flap Selection
For normal landings (when conditions permit), which flaps shall be used for landing?
Flaps 30: minimize landing speed, distance and maximize ground clearance
Flaps 25: better noise abatement, fuel savings and reduced flap wear
Max Altitude for Flap Extension
20,000 feet
What speed is flap extension schedule based on?
VREF 30
What is the maximum command speed for wind adjustment?
Vref +20 Kts
What is the command speed called using a non-normal checklist?
Adjust Vref
What does V2 command speed provide at T/O?
30 degrees bank (15 + 15 overshoot) for all takeoff flap settings
What speed is flaps up - flap maneuvering speed represented by?
Vref + 80
What speed is flaps 1 - flap maneuvering speed represented by?
Vref + 60
What speed is flaps 5 - flap maneuvering speed represented by?
Vref + 40
What speed is flaps 20 - flap maneuvering speed represented by?
Vref + 20
How is maximum thrust (with EEC) attained?
By advancing thrust levers to full forward
How is maximum thrust (alternate mode) attained?
By advancing thrust levers to full rated takeoff or go around limit only. Use full forward stop only for imminent terrain contact.
What are the primary switches?
Two
Alternate action:
Out/Extended - Off
In/Flush - On or Armed
Momentary action:
Stays extended, cycles on/off
What is the average fuel flow for taxi?
2 month rolling average
40 ppm
FOD
Fuel over Destination
Sum of all usable fuel minus the burn (not including ADJ) at the planned landing weight @1500 ft above destination airport
B757 -8,000 lbs required at filed destination
Controlling Mins is authorized for what type of approaches?
Domestic and US Military Airports
CAT I
CAT II
Fail Passive Autoland System
Failure causes no significant deviation
Aircraft has insufficient redundancy
Decision Regime?
Max Localizer deviations - 1/3 dot
Max G/S deviations - 1/2 dot
No sustained oscillations about the localizer or the glide slope
Approaching Minimums Appropriate response(s)
E-FESS lights - Using HUD
What is the Acronym for Non-ILS App
How far from the IAF can we initiate LAVS
LAVS
Lateral - LNAV, LOC, BC, HDG SEL
Altitude - threshold elevation or TDZE
rounded up
Vertical - VNAV or V/S
Speed - as required
2 NM
PDM required items
- MEL item Number
- MOCC Assigned Control Number
- Time and intials.
Best Rate of Climb Airspeed?
Top Bug + 50 Kts
Vref30+130Kts
Low Vis TO/Appr
Order of Analysis technique
L - lowest mins/Jepp Charts
A -ATIS
M- MX AC(MEL) or Rey (NOTAMs)
P- Policy (FOM/QRH)
What is the rule of thumb speed for holding above FL250?
Vref 30 + 100 for adequate buffet margin
Below what weight and @ what speed will the APS limit approach speed?
Below 141,000 lbs
109 Kts
What is the preferred method of discontinued approach?
- Pressing GA paddle
- Select ALT HOLD
- Verify heading and altitude set
- Select a Lateral and Vertical mode
How is VNAV descent initiated?
3 ways
- Pass TD point in VNAV PTH
- Altitude Intervene w/in 50 NM of TD point
- DES NOW prompt (LSK 6R) VNAV DES page
What are the RNP Values in a normal profile ?
Terminal (DEPARTURE)- 1.0
En route - 2.0
Terminal (ARRIVAL) - 1.0
Approach- .3 to 1.0
How does the crew know there will be adequate satellite coverage for the destination?
FPR will include statement
• “SATELLITE COVERAGE FOR APPR/DEPT OK”
What is the lowest RNP value we can use for approach?
How do we input RNP values?
How do we know we made a correct RNP input?
How long does it remain?
Can we input ANP values?
RNP .13
•Must be made prior to IAF on POS REF Page 2/4
• “VERIFY RNP - POS REF 2” message may display - do not go around!
•value is displayed in LARGE FONT
• remains until deleted
• no
What is one major “gotcha” flying RNP approaches?
Ground speeds must be managed to avoid overshooting due to tail winds or strong crosswinds.
