Q
  1. Flight Controls
    Scenario
    You are at 4,000 ft, configuring for landing as Pilot Flying, and call for “Flaps 5.” The Pilot Monitoring repeats the command, and then moves the flap handle from “UP” to the F5 position. The PM monitors the Flap Position Indicator, but soon says “Uh oh, the flaps are stuck.”

Q.5.1 What is your priority?

A

MATM, including if the Non-Normal flap condition
has any effect on aircraft controllability.

Q.5.2 Is your phase of flight relevant?

A

Yes. You are on approach and not in a clean
configuration. You need to execute a missed
approach and coordinate for airspace to continue
corrective action(s).

Q.5.3 What is a risk with the go-around specific to
this non-normal condition?

A

Moving the flap handle with suspected leading edge device or trailing edge flap damage may cause additional damage.

After you announce you’re on the missed approach to Tower, they switch you to Departure.
Departure asks the reason for the missed approach, and then clears you to fly the
“published missed,” including holding.

Q.5.4 The holding pattern is 15 NM away. Is there
anything you can be doing during this time?

A

QRH for Trailing Edge Flap Disagree. Also, assess
any future impact of the Non-Normal (the QRH can
help you with that assessment).

Departure asks the reason for the missed approach, and then clears you to fly the
“published missed,” including holding.

Q.5.5 As you read through the QRH, you assess that
there is not any flap asymmetry, and that the flaps
are stuck between flaps 2 and flaps 5, which leads
you to step 5: Plan to extend flaps to 15 using
alternate flap extension. Before you continue with
that step, what are some considerations regarding
impact now and in the future?

A

Extra time to complete the alternate flap extension,
limitations associated with it, unfamiliarity with a flaps
15 landing, landing distance considerations.

Q.5.6 As you go through the rest of the QRH, what
other things would you discover that may have an
impact on the rest of the flight?

A

▪ Alt flap extension time to F15 is approximately 2 minutes
▪ Drag penalty with LEDs extended will impact fuel burn
▪ Icing conditions considerations
▪ PWB entry of the specific non-normal condition
▪ 230K max airspeed limitation
▪ The need to be watchful for any flap asymmetry during alt flap extension

Q.5.7 Once you have taken care of all of the
▪ Brake cooling corrective actions and are ready to begin the
▪ Communication to Company approach, and as time allows, what are some other
(Dispatch/TechOps/Station Ops) things that you need to consider?

A

▪ Communication to Flight Attendants
▪ Communication to Passengers
▪ Logbook Entry
▪ Is an Irregularity Report/Immediate notification
required? (Not under Flight Controls: under SYS
MALF)

Reference: FOM 2.2.3.1, 22.1.2
