TOW Check

RTO - After aircraft stops “flow” (This is not an official flow, just covers items in FH 4.020 pg 4)

Aircraft positioned w fire downwind. Parking Brake - SET Consider Flaps 40 if evacuation may be imminent. ENGINE FIRE NO EVAC: Engine Fire QRC EVAC?: Passenger Evacuation QRC If departure is still possible consider brake cooling. PH BRAKE ENERGY

Windshear Escape

A/P & A/T: Disengage TO/GA: Press - Follow guidance if available - Pitch to 15 degrees initially Thrust: Max Power Speedbrake: Down Detent Keep config until clear Monitor vertical speed and altitude Do not regain airspeed until clear of windshear THEN: Missed approach guidelines

When is "Set Max Continuous" called on an engine failure on takeoff? Where does one SET MCT? What happens if you DON'T set MCT?

-After flaps are UP, at UP Speed. - MCT is set in the FMC on the N1 Page. - You will not get VNAV for approach if this step is missed.

On a go around what should bank angle be limited to when airspeed is below the top of the amber band?

15 degrees

On an Autoland when is the second autopilot armed?

When cleared for the approach and on an intercept heading.

On an AIII Approach when do the runway edge lines appear on the runway? When do they disappear?

Appear at 300 feet, disappear below 60 feet.

What is the call for the PM at the Approach Fix?

“___________ fix, altitude checks, no flags” ((“AIII” if an FO call for an AIII approach, FLARE and Rollout if applicable))

How does ‘immediate turn’ change the missed approach profile?

Maintain flap setting and TOGA speed until within 45 degrees of rollout heading.

With an inflight failure of an applicable system what type of ACARS landing report should be run?

NON-NORMAL

If a thrust reverser is on MEL is a NON-NORMAL type of ACARS report run?

No. Only in flight failures. MELs are accounted for by the system.

What flap setting should a single engine ILS approach be flown at?

Should an engine fail on final approach with the flaps in the final landing position, and the approach is continued, what flap setting should be used?

Continue with current flap setting if required thrust is available. If appropriate thrust is not available: - Retract flaps to 15. - Adjust speed to planned ref (flaps 30 or 40 as appropriate) +20 (plus wind additive of time permits) this will be represented by the white bug. - GROUND PROX FLAP INHIBIT - FLAP INHIBIT.

An engine fails during approach and final flaps were set to flaps 30 prior to the failure. Flaps were kept at the final setting. When a missed approach is required what flap setting should be called for?

The initial flap setting should be "flaps 15" ( if the flaps were 30 or 40 for the approach then use 15 for the missed approach hap setting. Further retraction should be at a safe altitude in level flight or a shallow climb) FH 4.040

For a missed off a flaps 15 approach, the missed approach "flaps" call should be for flaps ___

1 FH 4.050

When do you keep the autopilot engaged on a go around?

When FLARE armed (Dual Autopilot) is annunciated.

For a two engined missed approach off of a single autopilot or hand flown instrument approach, what is the initial target pitch attitude?

15 Degrees, then pitch for flight director pitch “Going Around, TOGA, Flaps 15” is the initial call. FH 3.120

What will the commanded speed be on a normal missed approach?

Pitch is initially driven to 15 degrees and then transitions to a target airspeed based on flap position. FH 3.120

On the initial missed approach off a normal approach, when G/A is selected, what is the lateral path that TOGA roll mode maintains?

Existing ground track. At 500 AGL select LNAV (or roll mode desired). FH 3.120

Can Pitch or Roll modes be selected below 400 feet AGL?

No. Selections made below 400 feet will not change autopilot or FD modes. When modes are changed after 400 feet *on a dual autopilot approach* the autopilot reverts to single autopilot. FH 3.120

How does initial maneuvering change based on the Missed Approach guidance including the phrase ‘IMMEDIATE TURN’?

When the phrase IMMEDIATE TURN is included, retain the missed approach flap setting, TOGA, and 30 degrees of bank until within 45 degrees of the missed approach course or heading. Then begin acceleration and flap setting,

What is the configuration profile and path for missed approach when the procedure *does not* include IMMEDIATE TURN?

For initial maneuvering *without* IMMEDIATE TURN accomplish the initial procedure through the “Gear UP” call before initiating a turn. Delay flap retraction until the initial maneuver is complete AND a safe altitude and appropriate speed are attained.

What is GO AROUND thrust set to when TOGA is pressed once? Twice?

1000 - 2000 FPM. Twice gets you full rated go around thrust.

For a three bar VASI, what would the ‘On Glidepath’ indication be?

Two red bars with one white bar below.

On a takeoff with an engine failure at what point may banks of 30° be used?

Equal to or greater than White maneuver bug (FKA Sharks tooth), or flap maneuver speed.

May the Captain elect to pall the engine fire checklist early?

Yes. The ‘Engine Fire, Severe damage, or Separation’ checklist may be completed once at EFAH and the first flap retraction is made. The QRC may be completed up to going to the QRH where flap retraction should be completed before continuing the QRH procedure.

When do you call the acceleration height calls on a single engine MAP versus other procedures?

500 AFE "VNAV" / roll mode “LNAV” / lat mode, Clean up on schedule @ flaps up call for after takeoff checklist At “UP” speed verify ROLL/LAT modes, set MCT, engage A/P

What is the target pitch on a single engine missed approach?

13°

In the event of a ditching, the captains duties after landing are:

Proceed mid cabin and exercise command of the aircraft. Board raft via overwing exit after all possible assistance.

In the event of a ditching, the FO's duties after landing are:

Proceed to FWD galley area and assist with L1, R1 door. If not already complete: - Remove and Activate Portable ELT @ Windscreen - Assume command of a raft if the captain hasn't.

In the event of a ditching, the FA's duties after landing are:

- Open all usable exits, (L1, R1, and overwing. NOT Aft exits) - Deploy slides and rafts - Evacuate after rendering all assistance - A FA removes ELT and activates clear of the aircraft.

The MSA circle on an approach plate is based on:

The highest obstacle +1000 feet, within a 25NM radius from the nav facility the MSA is predicated on. It does NOT guarantee NAVAID reception.

Cold WX Ops: Stations with very cold weather, aka Alaska, will run the APU all night to keep the aircraft heated. They do so with the Crossfeed open and the two outside pumps running to prevent an imbalance. Double check the fuel panel for proper configuration!

For the FUEL challenge on the Prior to Push checklist, what should you check for?

Pumps - On as appropriate. Centers may be off if < 1000lbs. Fuel onboard vs required No imbalance present over 1k between right and left tanks. (This could be an issue after an extended delay while the APU is running)

If the PITOT HEAT switch is left on after the shutdown flow, and the next flights crew misses it, what are the issues?

Loss of bug speeds on T/O page and OAT disagree message.

Is the white bug (FMK as sharks tooth) used on a two engine go around?

No. it represents V2+20 and is a reference for an engine failure on final.

When are flaps retracted on a two engine missed?

500 feet and speed accelerating. The aircraft should be at flaps 15 per the callouts, so the next flap retraction to 5 takes place when the airspeed is above the '15' bug.
