Limitations Flashcards
Circle-to-Land Approach Maneuver
Weather minimums are a 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 to execute the circle-to-land approach maneuver.
-Use a minimum descent altitude of 1000 ft above airport elevation unless restricted to a higher altitude in the circle-to-land minimums section on the approach chart.
Maximum Operating Pressure Altitude
41,000 feet
Air Systems:
Engine bleeds/packs
With engine bleed air switches ON, do not operate the air conditioning packs in HIGH for takeoff, approach, or landing.
Anti-Ice and Rain
-Holding in icing conditions with flaps extended is prohibited.
- Do not operate wing anti-ice on the ground when the OAT is above 10°C (50°F).
-Do not use wing anti-ice as a substitute for ground deicing/anti-icing and inspection procedures which are necessary to comply with operating rules.
-Do not operate the weather radar during fueling, near fuel spills, or near people.
Gen operation limits
-NG) On the ground, limit one generator operation (engine driven) to a maximum of 215 amps.
-(MAX) Limit one generator operation (engine driven) to a maximum of 215 amps on the ground
or in the air.
Circuit Breakers
-The in-flight reset of a tripped circuit breaker should only be accomplished when directed by the QRH. Allow approximately two minutes for cooling before resetting.
Resetting a tripped circuit breaker other than when directed by the QRH must be done as follows:
-A tripped circuit breaker may only be reset once. Allow approximately two minutes for cooling before resetting. An in-flight reset should only be accomplished if, in the judgment of the Captain, regaining use of that system is critical to the safe conduct of flight.
Max EGT for start
-Maximum EGT for Ground Start 725°C (NG), 753oC (MAX) is non-memory item].
Reverse Thrust in flight.
Intentional selection of reverse thrust in flight is prohibited.
Auxiliary Power Unit altitudes:
-Max Altitude for Operation. 41,000 ft
- Max Altitude for Electric Only 41,000 ft
-Max Altitude Bleed Air Only 17,000 ft
-Max Altitude Bleed & Electric 10,000 ft
Alternate Flap duty cycle
Alternate flap duty cycle in flight is one complete cycle, then 5 minutes off. A complete cycle is movement from position 0° to 15° and back to 0°. The ALTERNATE FLAP position switch must be in the OFF position for 15 seconds before reversing the direction of flap movement.
Min/max fuel temp:
-Max Fuel Tank Temperature + 49 C
-Min Fuel Tank Temperature. - 37 C
Note: Jet A freeze point is - 40 C, and other listed fuels freeze at lower temperatures.
Cargo Bay Fire Suppression
-Aircraft must land within 60 minutes ( 8E and MAX8E: 180 minutes) of initial discharge of the fire suppression system.
TCAS
-Pilots are authorized to deviate from an ATC clearance to the extent necessary to comply with the TCAS II Resolution Advisory (RA).
-Flight Crews must immediately respond to TCAS information (both TAs and RAs) by using the TCAS (Traffic Avoidance) guidelines located in the QRH Maneuvers Chapter.
Max flap extension altitude
Do not extend flaps above 20,000 feet pressure altitude.
Speed brake limitations
-In flight, do not extend the speedbrake lever beyond the FLIGHT DETENT.
-Do not use speedbrakes in flight below 1,000 ft AGL.
-In flight, do not use speedbrakes with greater than flaps 10.
-700W - Do not operate the aircraft at speeds in excess of 320 kt at weights over 143,000 lb if the speedbrake wing load alleviation system is inoperative.
