�Autopilot must be disengaged before the aircraft
descends more than 50
feet below the MDA/DA, unless in the go-around mode.
�Do not use flight level change pitch mode (FLCH) on final approach below
1000 feet AFE.
Autoland approaches are not approved
with flaps 25.
�Without LAND 2 or LAND 3 annunciated
the autopilot must be disengaged
below 200 feet AGL.

The 777 is not certified for autolandings at weights
in excess of max landing
weight.
The 777 is not certified for autolandings with loss of which hyd and elevator system
two or more elevator hydraulic actuators.
(Loss of hydraulic systems R or C results in loss of only
one hydraulic actuator;
Loss of hydraulic system L or any combination of L, C,
and R results in loss of two or more hydraulic actuators.)

WIRELESS DEVICES ON FLIGHT DECK
KEEP ALL WIRELESS DEVICES AFT OF THROTTLE QUADRANT OR
SECURELY MOUNTED TO APPROVED MOUNT LOCATIONS WHEN
ENGINES OPERATING FOR THE PURPOSE OF FLIGHT
When this placard is installed, wireless devices may be used as stated on
the placard. If the placard is not installed, the electronic display units (DUs)
have been modified to mitigate EMI effects, and the use of wireless devices is
permitted, without restriction..
REVERSE THRUST
Backing the aircraft with use of reverse thrust is prohibited.
* Intentional selection of reverse thrust in flight is prohibited.
* Do not attempt a go-around after thrust reverser deployment
200ER after RTO were reversers deployed, takeoff prohibited until maintenance action

CROSSWIND AND TAILWIND THRUST LIMITS for taxi 300ER
300ER During ground operations (exclusive of takeoff)
in tailwinds and crosswinds
between 30 and 45 knots,
limit thrust to a maximum of 70% N1.
Avoid thrust levels above that required for normal taxi operation in all tailwinds and crosswinds
greater than 45 knots.
FLIGHT CONTROLS
Takeoff is permitted only in the normal flight control mode.
• Avoid rapid and large alternating control inputs, especially in combination with
large changes in pitch, roll, or yaw (e.g., large side-slip angles) as they may
result in structural failure at any speed, including below VA.
SPEED BRAKES
Do not use speed brakes in flight below 1000 feet AGL.
GROUND MANEUVER CAMERA SYSTEM (322)
Do not use the ground maneuver cameras during takeoff, approach, and landing.
RVSM OPERATIONS
• On ground, maximum allowable difference between Captain’s or First Officer’s
altitude display and the field elevation: 75 feet.
• In flight, maximum allowable difference between Captain’s and First Officer’s
altitude displays: 200 feet.
• EICAS advisory message SGL SOURCE AIR DATA is not displayed.
• EICAS advisory message NAV AIR DATA SYS or AIR DATA SYS is not
displayed.
When required to cruise at altitudes below optimum due to air traffic, atmospheric
conditions, or non-normal procedures and no further step climbs are planned,
set the FMC STEP
size to zero. This ensures best available FMC FUEL and
ETA predictions.
FMC-CALCULATED TAKEOFF SPEEDS – ALTERNATE FORWARD
CENTER OF GRAVITY (322)
When operating at an alternate forward center of gravity limit for takeoff,
disregard the FMC-calculated takeoff speeds, if displayed. Determine takeoff
speeds from the Sabre Takeoff Data message.
Note: Alternate forward C.G. and V-speed calculations are automated in Sabre.
Pilot action not required to comply with this limitation.
AIR DATA INERTIAL REFERENCE UNIT (ADIRU)
Do not align ADIRU at North/South latitudes greater than 78°, 14.75 minutes.
