Q

What is the normal takeoff speed schedule?

A

It does not provide guidance, but displays V2, until V2 is met, then it ramps up to V2 + 10kt until vertical mode is changed

Q

What is Go-Around speed guidance?

A

When G/A is selected the flight director sets speed defined in PERF INIT. If New approach is set while in go-around mode FMS reverts to approach speeds. If a new destination is set while in go-around mode FMS reverts to climb schedule

Q

What does GMS annunciation DR mean?

A

Dead reckoning mode, loss of navigation performance, loss of radio updating, and loss of position sensors for greater than 2 minutes

17
Q

What does FMS annunciation DGRAD mean?

A

The FMS has lost RNP, GPS is not available and is required for the selected flight plan procedure

Q

What does FMS annunciation TERM mean?

A

FMS is in the terminal area and operating under increased navigation accuracy

20
Q

What does FMS annunciation WPT mean?

A

FMA give WPT advisory 30 seconds prior to sequencing a waypoint

21
Q

What does FMS annunciation VTA mean?

A

The FMS is warning of an impending vertical track command. These include: within 1000’ of capturing an altitude constraint, 1 min prior to TOD, 1 min prior to resuming a climb or descent from a constraint waypoint, prior to resuming a VFLCH descent due to speed limit altitude level off, 1 min prior to executing a step climb

Q

What does FMS annunciation OFFSET mean?

A

It is an advisory that the FMS is flying an offset up to 30nm parallel
