Q

If GPS off, how do you position aircraft for takeoff?

A

Pressing TOGA will position aircraft to takeoff runway threshold , or position shift position, if entered

21
Q

What is the polar region as defined by the 787 database?

A

82N and up, except for that region defined by 80W to 170W and north of 73N

22
Q

What are the flight deck indications that the aircraft is referenced to true north?

A

White box around TRU at top of both PFD and ND

CDU legs page will display a “T” next to the leg course data

23
Q

If heading reference is TRU in the descent phase, what indication will you see?

A

An amber box around TRU on both PFD and ND

24
Q

When would you select TRUE with the HEADING REF switch?

A

When operating the autopilot in the polar region in other than LNAV

25
Q

NAV INERTIAL SYS?

A

IRS failed in polar region

All autopilot and AFDS modes fail

Entry of a reference heading on the POS INIT page restores HDG HOLD and HDG SEL
Heading must be renewed every 10 mins

GLS continues to supply navigation data and active route information still available

26
Q

IRU position graphic?

GPS?

A

Asterisk on ND

TIE fighter

27
Q

What is the supposition of ANP?

A

Airplane position estimated to be within ANP circle 95% of the time

28
Q

SINGLE FMC?

A

Two FMCS have failed in flight

Third FMC has taken over

All data retained, but LNAV and VNAV deselect

The flight plan will have to be deactivated and LNAV and VNAV deselected

29
Q

What are the indications if all FMCS fail?

A

FMC

loss of PFD mini map

Loss of ND maps

Loss of CDU pages on MFD

Loss of both LNAV and VNAV

30
Q

When armed for takeoff, when does LNAV engage?

A

At 50 feet, when laterally within 2.5nm of the active route leg

31
Q

LNAV BANK ANGLE LIM?

A

The FMC looks 5 mins ahead and gauges the LNAV course change. It may limit the bank angle to preclude a loss of airspeed or altitude. This message will be displayed

32
Q

FMC HOLD AIRSPACE

A

FMC evaluates the need for a bank limit 3 min from a hold

If it determines the hold will be outside of the protected airspace, this is the EICAS that will be displayed

33
Q

If armed for takeoff, when does VNAV engage?

A

At 400 feet above field elevation

34
Q

VNAV STEP CLIMB

A

Climb is not initiated within 5 minutes after passing a step climb point

35
Q

Pressing the speed selector?

A

Same actions as speed intervene

36
Q

Pressing the altitude selector?

A

Same actions as altitude intervene

37
Q

Where is the end of descent point calculated (for all but VOR approaches)?

A

50 feet above the runway threshold

38
Q

What is the end of descent point for VOR approaches?

A

The missed approach point

39
Q

THRUST REQUIRED in the CDU help window?

A

Speed is more than 15 knots below target and autothrottles are not active

40
Q

DRAG REQUIRED in the CDU help window?

A

Speed is more than Vmo/Mmo - 16kts

41
Q

With VNAV, what is the importance of the 50nm point before TOD?

A

If you press the altitude selector before this point (with a lower-than-cruise altitude selected), the FMC will re-cruise to the selected altitude.

Within 50nm, the aircraft will start a shallow descent and capture the descent path

42
Q

FMC transitions to the approach phase when:

A

Descent mode is active and flaps are down

Airplane has sequences the first waypoint of the approach

The airplane is on a direct to intercept course-to the active waypoint and the distance is less than 12 nm

The MAP is the active waypoint and the distance to go is less than 25 nm

43
Q

In the approach phase, MCP altitude can be set above the airplane altitude for the missed approach. If MCP altitude is ______, then VNAV continues to command a __________.

A

300 feet above airplane altitude

Descent

44
Q

If LNAV is available on the Missed Approach, when does LNAV automatically activate?

When autopilot is engaged?

When autopilot is not engaged?

A

With autopilot engaged, 200 feet

With autopilot not engaged, 50 feet

45
Q

In a missed approach, what is the new cruise altitude?

A

The higher of the MCP altitude, or the highest altitude in the missed approach procedure

46
Q

NAV INERTIAL SYS?

A

Both AHRUs and IRUs have failed

47
Q

Can the FMCS still operate without the IRS?

A

Yes

The GPS units provide position and track data

FMC can still provide flight planning, navigation and performance info

ND maps still available

48
Q

Are LNAV and VNAV available without IRS?

A

No

49
Q

How do you access alternate navigation?

A

Through the NAV button on any of the operable TCPs
