Q

What is the relation between your configuration and a RA advisory?

A

For a CLIMB RA in the landing configuration, accomplish a go around with maximum thrust.
Otherwise just put the box in the middle outside of the coffins.

Q

You lose an engine on takeoff. Once you get stabilized, what checklist are you going to run?

A

It depends…
Did the engine FAIL (just die and wind down), then do the Engine Failure Checklist.
Was the engine on FIRE (like the icon turned red) then do the engine fire checklist

Q

What do you need to worry about if you take off heavy and then need to come back and land?

A

Nothing. The 737 is certified to come back and land at max takeoff weight. There isn’t even a checklist for it.

Q

What is the biggest takeaway for V1 cuts?

A

When you hear “rotate” give yourself 1-3 potatoes before rotating off the runway. Get your feet locked and thus your directional control stabilized and THEN slowly pull back off the runway. This will help with directional control.

A

“Engine Fire” … don’t say left or right. United doesn’t want you screwing this up.

Q

When you talk to tower about your engine failure, the first thing you say to tower is…
and then…

A

“Mayday, mayday, mayday, this is United…”
and then immediately tell them where your are going.
ex: “Mayday, mayday, mayday this is United 111 we are a single engine aircraft tracking outbound on the SFO 294 radial.”

Q

For a runway 28R takeoff out of SFO, you must…

A

go to 3000 and THEN call for “VNAV” because you can’t be in VNAV if you need to turn or get on a course line before acceleration altitude.

A

override the autobrakes until it is an appropriate time to takeover, SO let the autobrakes do their thing on a high speed reject.

Q

Why do you go bleeds off when you are single engine?

Q

What are the recommended taxi speeds according to the instructor manual?

A

Straight taxi 30 kts
Avoid tiller > 20 kts
Turns < 10 kts

23
Q

At 45 degrees AOB, what is the stall margin increase?

A

At 45 degrees G load and induced stall speed increase to 1.4G and 20%

24
Q

Checklist cannot be performed until?

A

Cannot be performed under 400 feet AFE

25
Q

What is the bank angle limit after an engine failure?

A

Limit of 15 degrees until V2+15 is achieved (the white bug)

26
Q

When does the engine out profile end?

A

1500 AFE

27
Q

Engine severe damage or separation will be indicated by…

A

airframe vibration with abnormal engine indications such as zero N1 or zero N2

28
Q

After an engine failure and shutting down the bad engine, can you use the autothrottle for the good engine?

A

NO!

29
Q

What flap setting and speed does the FM recommend intercepting the localizer single engine?

A

Intercept with Flaps 5 extended and at Flaps 5 maneuvering speed

30
Q

If single engine and you intercept the G/S prior to the FAP what configuration can you use?

A

Flaps 10 with no gear should allow you to maintain speed on the G/S

31
Q

When do you normally enter your final landing configuration on a single engine approach, and what is that configuration?

A

Normal G/S intercept configuration distance at 1500 feet 1-1.5 dots below G/S begin configuration to gear down, Flaps 15

32
Q

What is an amber symbol on the TCAS mean? What do you do?

A
  • It is a TA (Traffic Advisory)
  • The intruder is 20-48 seconds from closest point of approach
  • Monitor the intruder
33
Q

What is a red symbol on the TCAS mean?
What do you do?

A
  • It is an RA (Resolution Advisory) and will have RPAA displayed (Red Pitch Avoidance Area)
  • A/P and A/T off, pitch just outside the red coffins (RPAA), tell ATC “United 1986, TCAS RA”
34
Q

What is the call to ATC if you must maneuver in relation to an RA?

A

“United 1986, TACS RA.”

35
Q

What is required as a result of asymmetric thrust when taxing?

A

Constant pressure on the nose wheel steering wheel is required due to asymmetric taxi thrust. Do not use rudder trim.

36
Q

When taxing single engine sharp turns…

A

Sharp turns toward the operating engine may be difficult. When possible, ensure the airplane has forward momentum prior to starting a turn.

37
Q

When taxing above 20 knots

A

exercise caution to avoid overcontrolling the nose wheel when using the tiller (ie don’t use the tiller at 20+ knots)

38
Q

When taxing what should you consider with regards to carbon brake life?

A

One firm brake application causes less wear than several light applications.

39
Q

When bringing the jet to a stop when taxing you should always…

A

stop with a straight-ahead movement to avoid twisting moments

40
Q

How far ahead of the nose wheel do you sit? What is the implication of this?

A
  • 5 feet
  • When turning, the nose should track to the outside of centerline to keep the main gear centered.
41
Q

If you want a 3 degree glide path, how far out should you start?

A

Take pattern altitude and divide by 300. This will give you the distance in miles.
ex: 1500’ pattern altitude, start down 5 miles from the approach end of the runway.

42
Q

During a two engine go around, when you first push the TO/GA switches you get…

A
  • Lateral guidance based on where your nose was pointed when you hit the button
  • The auto throttles go to a 2000 FPM climb
  • The speed bug jumps to the maneuver speed for your current flap setting
43
Q

During a two engine go around, when you push the TO/GA switches a second time you get…

A
  • The autothrottle advances to full go-around N1 limit
44
Q

When is the single channel go around mode available?

A

Anytime below 2000 feet.

45
Q

When you hit the TO/GA switch on a two engine go around, what does the vertical bar on the flight director go to?

A

It commands a 15 degree nose up, BUT you should initially pitch for just 10 degrees because you’ll overshoot if you try to follow the flight director.

46
Q

What lateral mode with the Flight Director be in during a two engine go around?

A

IF the missed approach is in the FMC, it will go to LNAV at 50 feet and follow the published missed approach
*If there was no missed approach loaded in the FMC, the flight director will stay in roll mode until you select either HDG SEL or LNAV above 400 feet

47
Q

If you do a two engine go around (maybe for interval) and you plan an immediate return for a second approach you can consider…

A

…stopping at Flaps 5.

48
Q

If you return for a second approach after a go around and you plan to use VNAV, you may need to…

A

reset the cruise altitude

49
Q

VNAV shall not be armed on the ground if the engine failure procedure for the takeoff runway contains conditions which require:

A
  • The completion of a turn to a specified heading BEFORE accelerating, or
  • Becoming established on a defined lateral course BEFORE accelerating
    (The above restriction does not apply if an engine failure procedure only requires the initiation of a turn after takeoff with subsequent acceleration at a specified engine-out acceleration altitude)
50
Q

For a single engine failure, during the climb out you know you have the right amount of rudder if…

A

the yoke is level. If the yoke is down on one side, you need more rudder pressure.

51
Q

If there is no engine failure procedure published, do not accept a vector from ATC until…

A

1500 feet AFE

52
Q

How do you “set max continuous thrust”?

A
  • Press N1 LIMIT button
  • Press CON to select maximum continuous thrust
