Is there any way to monitor how long until the alignment process is complete? 11.10.10
Yes. By selecting “HDG/STS” on the IRS DISPLAY’s Display Selector. (it will display seven minutes until 6 minutes remain during the alignment process, and then will display the actual amount of time remaining).
What does it mean if the ALIGN light is flashing? 11.10.11
. 1) A significant difference between the previous and entered position (unreasonable present position)
. 2) No present position entered
During the Secure Procedure, when the IRS Mode Selector is moved to OFF, what should you see on the IRS Mode Selector Unit?

The switched hot battery bus.
How long will each IRS operate if AC power is lost? 11.20.6; 11.11
The left for as long as DC power is available; DC power to the right IRS is automatically terminated if AC power is not restored within 5 minutes.
Is there a system to warn people on the ground that the IRSs are operating and AC power has been lost? 11.20.6
Yes. Warning horn in the wheel well will sound.
Name one reason that the REVERSER light on the aft overheard panel would be illuminated. 7.10.14
The REVERSER light on the aft overhead panel will illuminate for one or more of the following reasons:
- Isolation valve or thrust reverser control valve is not in the commanded position - Thrust reverser sleeve position sensors are in disagreement - Auto-reset circuit has been activated
The REVERSER light illuminates when the thrust reverser is commanded to stow and extinguishes 10 seconds later when the isolation valve closes. Any time the REVERSER light illuminates for more than approximately 12 seconds, a malfunction has occurred, and the MASTER CAUTION and ENG system annunciator lights illuminate.

What are the PMC’s? 7.20.2
Power Management Control.
The PMCs, along with the Main Engine Control, make up the thrust management system.
With the PMCs operational, do we have complete protection from overboost if the thrust levers are advanced to the full forward position? 7.20.1
If one of them fails, can we still depart?
If yes, are we allowed to utilize the operable PMC? L.10.6
No. Some overboost will still occur if the thrust levers are advanced to full forward even with the PMCs operational.
L.10.6 Yes
NO, Refer to the DDG
What do the PMCs do?
7.20.2
The PMC uses MEC power level angle, N1 speed, and inlet temperature and pressure to adjust, or trim, the MEC to obtain the desired N1 speed. The PMC adjust fuel flow as a function of thrust level angle.
Provides a constant thrust climb feature. Once climb thrust is set, the PMC maintains the desired thrust throughout the climb profile without the need for further thrust lever movement.
If the PMC fails or is selected off, how is engine speed controlled? 7.20.2
By the hydro-mechanical MEC only.
Will the PMC INOP light be illuminated prior to engine start? 7.20.2
No. It is suppressed below starter cutout engine speed.
How many engine idle speeds are there? 7.20.2
Two
What are they? 7.20.2
High and Low
Is it normal to see the LOW IDLE light illuminated in flight? 7.20.2
No.
The minimum speed for all flight phases is high idle
Is high idle the same engine speed for all flight conditions? 7.20.2
No.
As temperature and airspeed decrese, high idle speed also decreases. The average high idle setting is 32% N1.
What percent N1 is low idle speed, and when is it automatically selected? 7.20.2
Approximately 22%; four seconds after touchdown.
What purpose does low idle serve? 7.20.2
It reduces braking activity and stopping distance.
What is the purpose of the four second delay? 7.20.2
It provides enhanced engine speed acceleration for reverse thrust.
When will the LOW IDLE light on the aft overhead panel illuminate? 7.10.14
- Thrust lever for either engine is near idle and the MEC on either engine is not commanded to maintain high idle in flight
- The speed of either engine is below 25% N1 in flight

What two ways can we manual activate the Standby Hydraulic Pump? 13.20.4
- Positioning either FLT CONTROL switch to STBY RUD
- Positioning the ALTERNATE FLAPS master switch to ARM
What happens when the FLT CONTROL switch is moved to STBY RUD? 13.20.4
- Activates the standby electric motor-driven pump
- Shuts off the related hydraulic system pressure to ailerons, elevators and rudder by closing the flight control shutoff valve
- Opens the standby rudder shutoff valve
- Deactivates the related flight control LOW PRESSURE light when the standby rudder shutoff valve opens
- Allows the standby system to power the rudder and thrust reversers
- Illuminates the STBY RUD ON, Master Caution, and Flight Controls (FLT CONT) lights.
What happens when the ALTERNATE FLAPS master switch is moved to ARM? 13.20.4
- Activates the standby electric motor-driven pump
- Closes the trailing edge flap bypass valves
- Arms the ALTERNATE FLAPS position switch
- Allows the standby system to power the leading edge slaps and slats and thrust reversers
What will cause Automatic Operation of the standby hydraulic system? 13.20.5
- Loss of system A or B, or rudder pressure reducer system fails in low pressure mode, and
- Flaps extended, and
- Airborne or wheel speed greater than 60 knots, and
- FLT CONTROL switch A or B hydraulic system ON OR
- The main PCU Force Fight Monitor (FFM) trips
What does automatic operation of the Standby Hydraulic system cause?13.20.5
- Opens the standby rudder shutoff valve - Activates the standby electric motor-driven pump - Allows the standby system to power the rudder and thrust reversers - Illuminates the STBY RUD ON, Master Caution, and Flight Controls (FLT CONT) lights
What is the Elevator Feel System? 9.20.6
The elevator feel system uses the elevator feel computer to provide simulated aerodynamic forces using airspeed (from the elevator pitot system) and stabilizer position. Feel is transmitted to the control columns by the elevator feel and centering unit. To operate the feel system the elevator feel computer uses either hydraulic system A or B pressure, whichever is higher. When either hydraulic system or elevator feel pitot system fail, excessive differential pressure is sensed in the elevator feel computer, and the FEEL DIFF PRESS light illuminates
When is the Feel Differential Pressure light armed? 9.10.3
Trailing edge flaps are up
What does it mean if the light is illuminated? 9.10.3
Excessive differential pressure in the elevator feel computer
What is the Speed Trim System? 9.20.9
The speed trim system is designed to improve flight characteristics during operations with a low gross weight, aft CG, high thrust. It monitors inputs of stabilizer position, thrust lever position, airspeed, and vertical speed and then trims the stabilizer using the autopilot stabilizer system. Operates most frequently during takeoff and go-arounds
Conditions for speed trim operations:
- Flaps up or down
- Airspeed 100 – 300 KIAS
- 10 seconds after takeoff
- 5 seconds following release of trim switches
- N1 above 60%
- Autopilot not engaged
- Sensing of a trim requirement

Failure of a single FCC channel
Will the system still operate?
Yes
What is Mach Trim? 9.20.6
Above Mach .615, the Mach trim system automatically adjusts the elevators with respect to the stabilizer as speed increases.
The Mach trim actuator repositions the elevator feel and centering unit, which adjusts the control column neutral position.
In flight, you notice that both your EADI and EHSI go completely blank at the same time. What is the likely cause of this, and is there anything that you can do to restore your displays? 10.40.1, 10.32.29

If AC fuel pumps are not operating, how is fuel supplied to the APU? 7.30.1, 7.30.2
Fuel is suction fed to the APU from the number 1 tank if the AC fuel pumps are not operating. On some airplanes, a DC fuel pump provides positive fuel pressure to the APU, but only until the APU is at governed speed and ready to accept a load.
With all six fuel pumps in the off position, how many fuel pump LOW PRESSURE lights should be illuminated? 12.10.2, 12.10.3
4, The center tank low pressure lights will not be illuminated when the pump switches are in the off position
In flight, both center fuel tank pump low pressure lights and the Master Caution light illuminate, causing you to turn off the center tank pumps even though there is fuel remaining in the center tank. What happens to the fuel that remains in the center tank? 12.20.4
When the center tank pump switches are both turned off, the fuel scavenge shutoff valve opens, allowing fuel from the number 1 forward main tank to operate the center tank scavenge jet pump.
How long will the scavenge pump operate? 12.20.4
20 minutes after the center wing tank pumps are turned off.
Where is the fuel scavenged to? 12.20.
