21
Q

A

the single remaining FMC, through the CDU’s

22
Q

Climb and/or Descent waypoint need constraints entered on the legs page:

A

Require an altitude constraint at the same wapoint.

23
Q

The normal pitch mode annunciated on the FMA during a VNAV climb is:

A

VNAV SPD.

24
Q

A descent initiated more than 50 miles from the T/D using the MCP altitude selectorresults in:

A

A. A new cruise altitude.
B. A new T/D
C. A VNAV SPD descent to the new cruise altitude.

25
