Answer 2

LVL OFF ALT <= THR RED ALT.

Question 3

When does THR change to blue?

Answer 3

Both engines reach TO thrust or 100 kts, whichever occurs first.

AutoThrottles are declutched

Question 4

What does SRS mean?

Answer 4

Speed Reference System

Question 5

What does SRS do?

Answer 5

FD commands a V2 + 10 Speed for 2 engine operation upto 18 degrees pitch

Question 6

When does RWY appear on the FMA?

Answer 6

After pressing TOGA if a localizer for the runway is tuned. Yaw bar appears for steering commands to loc centerline.

Question 7

When does RWY mode disengage?

Answer 7

30 ft; preselected mode re engages

Question 8

Autothrottle off TO

Answer 8

Disconnect with either TDS

Auto throttles may be selected after gear retraction

Reset N1/EPR bugs to auto if in manual

Question 9

When do the throttles reclutch?

Answer 9

When the gear is retracted.

FMA changes to P THR - profile
THR -nonprofile

Question 10

100 feet above MDA, VS Non-prec

Answer 10

Lead the level off - Reduce VS 0

ALT.HLD May be used at MDA

Do not leave MDA until Adequate Vis Ref

Question 11

Established at FAF altitude:

Answer 11

ALT.HLD maybe deselected
Allows VS to come alive
VS alive set MAP altitude
Pitch over quickly then reduce VS

Question 12

Why Dive and Drive?

Answer 12

If Ceilings at MDA, to align with and see runaway sooner

Question 13

When is AP mandatory?

Answer 13

Non-precision APPR
CAT I coupled/autoland (RVR1800)
CAT II 
CAT III
Until suitable visual reference

Question 14

Why CDA vs Dive and Drive?

Answer 14

APPR lights and RWY are easier to identify while descending 700-800 fpm on 3degree path

Question 15

What is typical pitch attitude at cruise?

Answer 15

+1.5

Question 16

What is typical pitch attitude during descent?

Answer 16

-2

Question 17

What is typical pitch attitude during climb below 10,000?

Answer 17

+10

Question 18

When are we restricted to 15 AOB?

Answer 18

When required by the flight manual - V2+10

All EOSIDS ARE BASED ON 15 AOP AND MGTOW

Question 26

When do the Autoland Warning lights illuminate?

Answer 26

Excessive GS (1 •) or Loc Deviations (1/2 •)
Long Flare
RA altimeter differences
GS or Loc transmitter failures
AP Off warnings

Question 27

Non-precision APPR

VNAV guidance requirements

Answer 27

• APPR retrieved from the navigation database
• flown in LOC or NAV
• Navaids tuned/identified/monitored by PM
(Procedure specified for Appr course/FAF/MA point)
• VPA is defined in the F-PLN display for Appr
(F-PLN page A associated w/rwy threshold waypoint)
