this enables flight around thunderstorms that may not be visible.

Selecting CLB DIR deletes all waypoint altitude constraints

between the airplane altitude and the MCP altitude or FMC cruise altitude,

whichever is lower. FMC cruise altitude is not affected.

102
Q

Engine-out VNAV climb guidance is available on the EO CLB page.

The EO

CLB page must be selected and

A

executed by the flight crew.

103
Q

CRZ ALT displays if the cruise altitude is less than MAX ALT and displays

MAX ALT if engine-out cruise altitude is less than

A

cruise altitude. Manual entry is allowed.

104
Q

MAX ALT displays the lower of maximum altitude at engine-out climb speed or

cruise speed.

Manual entry

A

is not allowed.

105
Q

During the take-off roll, the autothrottle commands the thrust and the FMC

commands acceleration to between

A

V2 + 15 kt and V2 + 25 kt, based on the rate of rotation.

106
Q

Setting an altitude below the current altitude in the MCP ALTITUDE window and pushing the ALTITUDE selector (more than 50 nm from a T/D) causes the cruise altitude to be set to the MCP ALTITUDE and the airplane to descend to the new altitude.

The CRZ page displays ACT ECON CRZ DES.

A calculated thrust value for an approximate 1,250 ft/min descent is set by the autothrottle. Pitch changes maintain the commanded cruise speed. Thrust levers can be

A

manually positioned to adjust the descent rate.

107
Q

Selecting OFF displays ALL in both locations of the VOR ONLY INHIBIT line.

DME / DME position updating

A

is not inhibited.

108
Q

OAT can be entered for any one altitude. The FMC calculates the temperature

for the entered altitudes

A

using the standard lapse rate.

109
Q

An FMC position update can be accomplished on the

A

POS REF 2/3 page in

flight.

110
Q

PROGRESS page three is used to enter data for

A

Required Time of Arrival (RTA). This may be entered or changed during

preflight or in flight.

Creating an RTA changes the CRZ page title to RTA CRZ. RTA

operates only in

cruise.

111
Q

PROGRESS page four displays concise

A

RNP information.

112
Q

Alternate airports display the identifier of the four alternate airports in ETA

order when airborne; and, in

A

distance order when on the ground.

The selected alternate is identified with an A or SEL to the right of the airport

identifier.

Usually, the closest alternate is selected and identified with A.

113
Q

An airport will not be one of the four alternate airports if entered into the

A

ALTN INHIBIT line. One or two airports can be entered.

114
Q

he FMC computes holding patterns with constant radius turns based on current

wind and

A

FMC commanded airspeed. The pattern size is limited to FAA or ICAO

protected airspace.

115
Q

Holding

Strong winds or airspeed in excess of FAA or ICAO entry speeds may result in

A

the airplane flying outside the protected airspace.

116
Q

Holding

teardrop entries use

A

a 40 degree offset angle

117
Q

Lateral guidance directs the airplane to fly-by or fly-over the holding fix and to

remain

A

on the holding side of the inbound holding course.

118
Q

Holding

The BEST SPEED line displays the best holding speed for the airplane gross

weight, altitude, and flap setting. Note that this speed may exceed

A

the ICAO limit speed.

119
Q

In ALTN NAV

Navigation radios are tuned on the ALTN NAV RADIO page and related parameters display. Autotune is

A

not available.

The CDUs operate independently for navigation radio tuning.

VNAV is not available in ALTN NAV

120
Q

In ALTN NAV

The left CDU tunes the left VOR, DME, ADF,

and left and center ILS. The right CDU tunes

A

the right VOR, DME, ADF, and right ILS.

121
Q

In ALTN NAV

Waypoint speed and altitude restrictions are not displayed because performance data is

A

is not available

122
Q

The center CDU is automatically selected after failure of

A

the left or right CDU.

123
Q

If both FMCs fail, the CDUs retain Flight Plan waypoints except for

A

conditional waypoints, offsets, and holding patterns.

124
Q

IN ALTN NAV

New waypoints can only be entered in

A

latitude and longitude.

This includes waypoints the flight crew has deleted from the copied route.

125
Q

In ALTN NAV

The ADIRU supplies magnetic variation for present position.

Only the active waypoint course can be referenced to magnetic north.

All subsequent waypoint courses

A

are true courses.

126
Q

The FMC must have continuous electrical power to operate.

When the electrical power is interrupted and returns,

the FMC restarts.

After restart, the performance data displayed on the PERF INIT page must

A

be re-entered.

The route previously in use is available but must be reactivated.

127
Q

The AFDS modes shown here are inoperative after failure of the inertial

reference portion of the ADIRU.

A

LNAV / VNAV

Q

The PFD functions shown here are inoperative after failure of the inertial

reference portion of the ADIRU.

Q

If the ADIRU fails in a polar region, the EICAS message NAV ADIRU

INERTIAL displays and all

A

autopilot and AFDS roll modes fail.

131
Q

The CDU POS INIT page displays the SET HDG prompt

A

3 min after ADIRU failure.

132
Q

SAARU power-up is completely automatic at airplane power-up.

There are no SAARU

A

controls.

133
Q

A software reset may occur while in single FMC operation.

The active route becomes inactive, the performance data is erased, and

A

LNAV and VNAV (if engaged) modes fail.

To regain FMC operation,

activate and execute the Flight Plan, enter the necessary performance data,

and engage LNAV and VNAV.

134
Q

If the MENU page and the scratchpad message TIMEOUT RESELECT display,

the FMC is no longer

A

connected to the CDU.

Selecting the < FMC prompt connects the CDU to the FMC.
