Q

What wind corrections are used in the OPT?

A

Wind corrections are calculated using not more than 50% of actual headwinds, or not less than 150% of actual tailwinds, in compliance with relevant operating regulations unless otherwise noted. Tower winds are assumed to be measured at 10 meters (32.8 feet).

Q

What is the definition of V1?

A

The speed from which a decision to continue the takeoff, following a failure of the critical engine at V EF , results in a takeoff distance to a height of 35 feet at V 2 speed that will not exceed the usable takeoff distance and the speed at which the first action is taken to bring the airplane to a full stop that will not exceed the accelerate-stop distance available. V 1 must not be less than the minimum V 1 for control on the ground, V 1(MCG) , or greater than the rotation speed, V R , or greater than the maximum brake energy speed, V MBE .

Q

What is the definition of V2?

A

The target speed to be attained at the 35 foot height, assuming recognition of an engine failure at or after V 1 . This speed must be at least 1.13 times the 1G stall speed in the takeoff configuration.

Q

What is the definition for Vmcg?

A

The minimum takeoff decision speed, V 1 , at which, when the critical engine suddenly becomes inoperative at V EF with the remaining engine at takeoff thrust, it is possible to control the airplane with primary aerodynamic controls alone and continue the takeoff.

Q

What are the definitions for the 1st,2nd and 3rd segments of the takeoff?

A

First Segment - Extends from the end of the takeoff distance to the point where the landing gear is assumed to be fully retracted, using takeoff thrust and takeoff flaps at a constant V 2 speed.
Second Segment - Extends from the gear up point to a gross height of at least 400 feet, using takeoff thrust and takeoff flaps at a constant V 2 speed.
Third Segment - The horizontal distance required to accelerate, at constant altitude using takeoff thrust, to the final climb speed while retracting flaps in accordance with the recommended speed schedule.

Q

Is reverse thrust used in calculating rejected takeoff distance according to AFM?

A

Reverse thrust is not used in calculating these distances on a dry runway surface, but is used in calculating these distances on a wet runway surface.
(AFM section 4 p.11)

17
Q

Prior to 80k, when should the takeoff be rejected, according to QRH introduction?

A
  1. Master caution system;
  2. System failure(s);
    3.Unusual noise or vibration;
    4.Tire failure;
  3. Abnormally slow acceleration;
  4. Takeoff configuration warning;
  5. Fire or fire warning;
  6. Engine failure;
  7. Predictive windshear warning;
  8. If a side window opens;
  9. If the airplane is unsafe or unable to fly.
    (MAN 1.2)
18
Q

Predictive windshear warning during takeoff - what are the QRH instructions?

A
  1. If windshear is encountered prior to V1, there may not be sufficient runway remaining to stop if an RTO is initiated at V1. At VR, rotate at a normal rate toward a 15 degree pitch attitude. Once airborne, perform the Windshear Escape Maneuver.
  2. If windshear is encountered near the normal rotation speed and airspeed suddenly decreases, there may not be sufficient runway left to accelerate back to normal takeoff speed. If there is insufficient runway left to stop, initiate a normal rotation at least 2,000 feet before the end of the runway, even if airspeed is low. Higher than normal attitudes may be required to lift off in the remaining runway.
    Ensure maximum thrust is set.
    (MAN 1.10)
19
Q

What are the crew actions for TCAS CLIMB RA in landing configuration?

A
  1. Disengage the autopilot and autothrottle;
  2. Advance thrust levers forward to ensure maximum thrust is attained and call for FLAPS 15;
  3. Smoothly adjust pitch to satisfy the RA command;
  4. Follow the planned lateral flight path;
  5. Positive rate > Gear up.
    (MAN 1.8)
20
Q

Loss of thrust on both engines - what is the descent speed?

A

275k above FL270
300k below.
(QRH 7.6)

21
Q

Fuel consumption “rules of thumb”.

A

APU F/F: on the ground: 105kg/hour, during flight: ~50kg/hour @30,000’.
Taxi fuel: 12kg/min;
Increase in F/F for Engine A/I: 45kg/hour, Engine+Wing A/I: 140kg/hour.
Missed approach: takes 130kg from TO/GA until 1500’ @ 250k.
