Limitations Flashcards
Circle to Land Wx Minimums
1000 ft ceiling
3 Miles Visibility
1000/3
1,000-ft ceiling and 3 miles visibility. Both ceiling and visibility criteria are required. Review the Jeppesen approach chart to see if it specifies minimums higher than 1,000/3. If so, then those higher minimums are required
Circle to Land Approach - Minimum descent altitude (MDA)
1000 ft above airport elevation unless restricted higher.
Max Operating Pressure Altitude
41,000
Engine Bleeds — ON—
Do not operate PACK in what setting?
Do no operate PACKS in HIGH for take off approach or landing.
Note: The fire protection non-normal procedures (QRH) take precedence over the statement regarding no air conditioning pack in HIGH during takeoff, approach, or landing. The CARGO FIRE and Smoke or Fumes Removal checklists require the operating pack switch(es) to be placed in HIGH in order to increase ventilation for smoke removal.
Anti Ice
Holding in icing conditions (flaps?)
Holding in icing conditions with flaps extended is prohibited.
Anti Ice and Rain
Above 10ºC
Do not operate wing anti-ice on the ground when the OAT is above 10ºC (50ºF).
Anti-Ice and Rain
Can you substitute wing anti-ice for ground de icing/anti-icing and inspection procedures?
Do not use wing anti-ice as a substitute for ground deicing/anti-icing and inspection procedures which are necessary to comply for operating rules.
Anti-Ice and Rain
Should you operate weather radar, while fueling, near fuel spills, or near people?
Do not operate the weather radar during fueling, near fuel spills, or near people.
Electric Power - Limitations
NG
MAX
NG - On the ground, limit one generator operation (engine driven) to maximum of 215 amps.
MAX - Limit one generator operation (engine driven) to a maximum of 215 amps on the ground or in the air.
Do not remove AC power from the aircraft for at least 30 seconds after IRS shutdown.
Circuit Breakers
Tripped circuit breakers in flight.
The in-flight reset of a tripped circuit breaker should only be accomplished when directed by the QRH. Allow approximated two minutes for cooling before resetting.
Circuit breakers
Resetting other than when directed by QRH
A tripped circuit breaker may only be reset once. Allow approximately two minutes fro cooling before resetting. An in-flight reset should only be accomplished it, in the judgement of the Captain, regaining use of that system is critical to the safe conduct of the that system is critical to the safe conduct of flight.
Engines and APU

Reverse Thrust in flight?
Intentional selection of reverse thrust in flight is prohibited.
APU Max altitude for operation. Max altitude for electric only Max altitude for bleed air only Max altitude for bleed and electric

Flight Controls
Max altitude flap?
20,000 ft
Flap duty cycle.
A flap duty cycle in flight is one complete cycle, then 5 minutes off. A complete cycle is movement form 0º to 15º and back to 0º.
- The ALTERNATE FLAP position mist be in the OFF position for 15 second before reversing the direction of flap movement.
Flight Controls
Speed brake
- In flight, do not extend the speed brake lever beyond the FLIGHT DETENTION.
- Do not use Speed-brakes in flight before 1,000 ft AGL.
- In flight, do not use speed-brakes with greater than flaps 10.
Flight Controls
-700W speed limitations
-700W - do not operate the aircraft at speeds in excess of 320 kts at weights over 143,000 lb if the speed-brake wing lead alleviation system is inoperative.
Fuel
Max fuel tank temp?
Min fuel tank temp?
Max fuel tank temp: +49ºC
Min fuel tank temp: -37ºC
*Note: Jet A freeze point is -40ºC, and other listed fuels freeze at lower temperatures.
Fuel systems
When must main tanks be full?
Main tanks must be full if the center tank quantity is greater than 1000 lbs.
Note 5: 1000 lbs may be retained in the center tank provided the effects of balance have been considered.
Note 6: Center tank fuel pumps must be ON for all operational with more than 1000 lb of fuel in the center tank.
Note 7: Some MEL items can override this limitation.
!!! * For ground operation, center tank fuel pump switches must NOT be positioned to ON unless the center fuel tank quantity exceeds 1000 lbs, except when de-fueling, or when when transferring fuel.
Fuel Systems:
Transferring fuel / de-fueling
Note: Fuel may be transferred from tank to tank or the aircraft may be refueled with Passengers onboard, provided the fuel quantity in the tank from which fuel is being taken is maintained at not less than 2000 lb.
Deplane all Passengers and non-essential Crew Members when de-fueling a tank or transferring fuel from a tank that has a fuel quantity below 2000 lb. Until the process has been completed and the respective fuel boost pumps are turned off.
Fuel Systems
LOW PRESSURE light illuminates
Corresponding center tank fuel pump switch must be positioned to OFF when a center tank LOW PRESSURE light illuminates.
