GENERAL Flashcards

1
Q

What are the guidelines for taxi speeds?

A

-Normal: 20 knots
-Long straight routes: Up to 30 is OK, but use caution (don’t over control the tiller)
-Turns: Use your best judgement. On a DRY turn with an angle greater than a high speed runway turnoff, the recommendation is 10 knots.

19
Q

While loading the CDU, what is the tolerance allowed for the stabilizer trim value on the CDU compared against the value on the FDP?

A

+/- 1.0 units

20
Q

FMC calculated N1 or EPR should be within ____ of the FDP calculated target.

A

N1: 1%

EPR: .02

21
Q

During flap retraction, what maneuver capability is while retracting through flaps 1? Is this provided for flaps up as well?

A

40 degrees of bank (25+15 overshoot) up to stick shaker.

The above is also provided at flaps up (VREF30 + 80), but only for gross weights 309,000 kg and below.

For gross weights above 309,000 kg, full maneuver capability does not exist until reaching VREF 30 + 100.

22
Q

Because there is a difference in maneuver capability above 309,000 kg, it is important to limit bank to ____ with flaps up UNTIL reaching _____ knots.

A

Limit bank to 15 degrees with flaps UP until reaching VREF 30 + 100 knots.

23
Q

Normally when making an approach and you’re ready to configure to land, you simply bug the flaps UP bug and then begin adding flaps. Is it different when above 309,000 kg?

A

Yes, you bug UP + 20 initially, then add flaps.

24
Q

What the acronym that can help you remember all of the tasks to call for as PF prior to T/D?

A

A-RACE

ATIS
Recall
CDU (load STAR/Approach)
EFIS control panel (Set minimums)

25
Q

For a procedure turn, be flaps ____ crossing the procedure turn fix.

A

5 at flaps 5 maneuver speed

26
Q

Stabilized approach criteria

A

By 1,000’ AFE:

-Correct flight path (within 1 dot G/S and LOC. Or within expanded LOC scale)
-On speed (momentary deviations OK)
-Landing configuration
-Sink rate not over 1,000 FPM (If greater required, must have been briefed)
-Appropriate thrust setting
-All checklists complete

27
Q

Landing VREF additive for autothrottle engaged

A

+5

28
Q

Landing VREF additive for autothrottle disengaged

A

Half the steady state headwind component + all of the gust. Minimum +5 maximum + 20

29
Q

If you have a VREF that came from a NNC (VREF30+20), and you also had gusty wind conditions, would you add corrections onto that NNC derived VREF?

A

Yes. Treat the NNC derived VREF identically to a normal VREF regarding gusts. +5 always for autothrottle engaged, and steady state + gust minimum +5-maximum +20 for autothrottle disengaged. TREAT AS NORMAL VREF

30
Q

When is NAI required on the ground?

A

OAT 10 or below and ground clutter or visible moisture (1SM or less) present.

31
Q

When is an engine run up required?

A

OAT is 3 degrees or below and NAI is required. (GE 60% for 30 seconds, 30 minute intervals)

32
Q

When is a takeoff alternate required?

A

When visibility is below landing mins (CAT 1) at departure airport.

33
Q

Is reduced thrust ATM allowed for wet runways?

A

Yes. Provided you have suitable performance

34
Q

Is reduced thrust ATM method allowed for contaminated runways? (Slush, snow, standing water, or ice?)

A

No

35
Q

Takeoffs are not recommended when slush, wet snow, or standing water depth is more than ____

A

.5” (13MM)

36
Q

What is the maximum depth of dry snow for takeoff?

A

4”

37
Q

What is a good way to remember all the things you need to do before an approach? (prior to top of descent in real life. After your missed approach and prior to your next approach mostly in the sim).

A

ARFBBBB

ATIS
Recall Review
FDP (with desired flap setting and gross weight + set the VREF)
Brake (autobrake)
Build (build approach/arrival)
Bug (set minimums)
Brief

OR another way

A-RACE

ATIS
Recall Review
Assessment/Autobrake
CDU (build)
EFIS controls (set mins)

38
Q

It is 3 degrees or less and there is visible moisture/ground clutter. It is a very long taxi, many delays. 30 minutes occurs, you do a 30 second engine run up. Right after, you are cleared for takeoff. Are you required to do an engine run up on the runway, even though you just did one?

A

Yes. It is considered a separate procedure, even though they are identical procedures. Taxi “engine run up” procedure and takeoff “engine run up” procedure. You must do it on the runway regardless of how recently the taxi one was done.

39
Q

For deicing, you always use _____ tables. (HOT app)

A

Adjusted

40
Q

When is a standing takeoff recommended?

A

Contaminated runways

41
Q

What is a contaminated runway?

A

Slush, snow, ice, standing water. (other than wet)

42
Q

What is the most practical difference between a wet runway and a contaminated runway regarding takeoff?

A

Wet: ATM is OK

Contaminated: ATM prohibited. (Also standing takeoff recommended)

43
Q

Is an APU to pack takeoff procedure something you need to memorize?

A

No. It is in FCOM Vol 1- Supplementary Procedures- Air Systems
