Maneuvers Flashcards
Traffic Avoidance
TCAS
- If maneuvering is required, disengage the autopilot and autothrottle.
- Smoothly adjust pitch and thrust to satisfy the RA command.
- Follow the planned lateral flight path unless visual contact with the conflicting traffic requires other action.
*Attempt to establish visual contact. Call out any conflicting traffic.
Approach to stall or stall recovery
Initiate the recovery:
- Hold the control column firmly.
- Disconnect autopilot and autothrottle.
- Smoothly apply nose down elevator to reduce the angle of attack until buffet or stick shaker stops. Nose down stabilizer trim may be needed.*
Continue the recovery:
- Roll in the shortest direction to wings level if needed.**
- Advance thrust levers as needed.
- Retract the speedbrakes.
- Do not change gear or flap configuration, except
- During liftoff, if flaps are up, call for flaps 1.
Complete the recovery:
- Check airspeed and adjust thrust as needed.
- Establish pitch attitude.
- Return to the desired flight path.
- Re-engage the autopilot and autothrottle if desired.
Rejected takeoff conditions
Prior to 80 knots, the takeoff should be rejected for any of the following:
- activation of the master caution system
- system failure(s)
- unusual noise or vibration
- tire failure
- abnormally slow acceleration
- takeoff configuration warning
- fire or fire warning
- engine failure
- predictive windshear warning
- if a side window opens
- if the airplane is unsafe or unable to fly.
Above 80 knots and prior to V1, the takeoff should be rejected for any of the following:
- fire or fire warning
- engine failure
- predictive windshear warning
- if the airplane is unsafe or unable to fly.
Rejected Takeoff
Without delay:
Simultaneously close the thrust levers, disengage the autothrottles and apply maximum manual wheel brakes or verify operation of RTO autobrake.
If RTO autobrake is selected, monitor system performance and apply manual wheel brakes if the AUTO BRAKE DISARM light illuminates or deceleration is not adequate.
Raise SPEED BRAKE lever.
Apply reverse thrust up to the maximum amount consistent with conditions.
Continue maximum braking until certain the airplane will stop on the runway.
When stopping is assured:
Start movement of the reverse thrust levers to reach the reverse idle detent before taxi speed.
After the engines are at reverse idle, move the reverse thrust levers to full down.
GPWS
Disconnect autopilot.
Disconnect autothrottle.
Aggressively apply maximum* thrust.
Simultaneously roll wings level and rotate to an initial pitch attitude of 20°.
Retract speedbrakes.
If terrain remains a threat, continue rotation up to the pitch limit indicator (if available) or stick shaker or initial buffet.
Assure maximum* thrust.
Do not change gear or flap configuration until terrain separation is assured.
Monitor radio altimeter for sustained or increasing terrain separation.
When clear of terrain, slowly decrease pitch attitude and accelerate.
Windshear
MANUAL FLIGHT
- Disconnect autopilot.
- Push either TO/GA switch.
- Aggressively apply maximum thrust*
- Disconnect autothrottle.
- Simultaneously roll wings level and rotate toward an initial pitch attitude of 15°.
- Follow flight director TO/GA guidance (if available) **
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT
- Push either TO/GA switch***
- Verify TO/GA mode annunciation.
- Verify GA thrust.
- Retract speedbrakes.
- Monitor system performance**
MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC FLIGHT
- Do not change flap or gear configuration until windshear is no longer a factor.
- Monitor vertical speed and altitude.
- Do not attempt to regain lost airspeed until windshear is no longer a factor.
Windshear recognition
- 15 knots indicated airspeed
- 500 fpm vertical speed
- 5° pitch attitude
- 1 dot displacement from the glideslope
- unusual thrust lever position for a significant period of time.
Predictive Windshear during TO roll
Predictive windshear warning during takeoff roll: (“WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD” aural)
- prior to V1, reject takeoff
- after V1, perform the Windshear Escape Maneuver.
Predictive Windshear during Approach
Predictive windshear warning during approach: (“GO–AROUND, WINDSHEAR AHEAD” aural)
• perform the Windshear Escape Maneuver, or, at pilot’s discretion, perform a normal go–around.
Upset recognition
Upset Recovery
An upset can generally be defined as unintentionally exceeding the following conditions:
- Pitch attitude greater than 25 degrees nose up, or
- Pitch attitude greater than 10 degrees nose down, or
- Bank angle greater than 45 degrees, or
- Within above parameters but flying at airspeeds inappropriate for the conditions.
