Established on Course
VOR ± one dot or ±5°
LOC ± one dot (± 1/3 dot, decision region) NDB ± 1 nm
RNAV or RNP SID/ODP/STAR (RNAV/RNP-1) ± 0.5 nm*
RNAV approach (non-final) (IAF to FAF) (RNP-1) ± 0.5 nm*
RNAV final approach segment (FAF to minimums) (RNP-0.3) ± 0.3 nm
Min RWY width for Autoland

Oil Gulp During Engine Start
Monitor for oil gulp if pre-start oil quantity is
at or near full indication of:
GE: 22 or more
PW: 26 or more
Oil gulp on initial start of a cold engine is
approximately:
GE: 4-6
PW: 5-12
If oil quantity fails to decrease after the engine stabilizes at idle for
approximately one minute, or steadily increases with no decrease post
start, shutdown the engine and make an AML entry.
Max Taxi Thrust
40% N1 in ramp/congested area
NADP 1 FCP
1500’ AGL, PF “Select Level Change”
3000’ AGL, PF “Select Speed”
NADP 2 FCP
1000’ AGL / non-standard EO ACCEL alt:
PF “Select Level Change” and “Select Speed”
Windshear guidance can be engaged in three ways
- Pushing the G/A button manually
- Advancing the throttles to at least 95% of G/A thrust manually
- The ATS system automatically advancing the throttles to at least 95% of G/A thrust.
Trim in Level Flight
- Remove any aileron and rudder trim with manual trim wheel.
- Allow ATS to stabilize, holding cruise speed constant.
- Allow AP stabilizer trim to stabilize.
- Disconnect AP.
- Hold wings level (use PFD); trim rudder so that heading stays constant.
- Trim off aileron pressure so that wings remain level.
- AP - ON.
- Check the PFD bank and trapezoid. Zero bank and a complete trapezoid means the aircraft is well trimmed.
Make AML entry (include configuration, altitude, and airspeed) for
excessive flight control trim required if:
Ailerons require over 1-1/2 units of trim while the rudder trim is zero,or
Rudder requires over 1-1/2 units of trim while the aileron trim is zero.
New Approach Brief Items
- Planned Flare Altitude
- Planned autothrottle usage (on/off)
- Planned autothrottle disconnect altitude (if applicable)
RNAV (GPS) Approach, need to verify
GI NAV is displayed on ND
FMS Automatic Speed Logic
10,000 ft 245 kts 15 DTG 0/RET foot +20 kts 11 DTG 0/EXT foot +20 kts 7 DTG 15/EXT foot +20 kts 6 DTG 28/EXT foot +5 kts (MD-11) 5 DTG 35/EXT foot +5 kts
Wind Additive on Approach
Only if not using Auto-Throttles or at Capt discretion
Vapp is > of Vref +5 or Vref + wind additive
Additive: 1/2 steady state > 20kts or full gust (max 20 kts) (gust is deference between steady state and gust)
3 Ways to set wind additive
- Edit FMS Vapp (on MCDU Appr page)
- Edit FMS Vapp (on FCP)
- SPD SEL (on FCP)
Decision Region Performance Limits and Application
Airspeed ± 5 knots of target speed
Localizer ± 1/3 dot
Glideslope ± 1/2 dot
Descent Rate Maximum of 1,000 fpm
Applies: 500’-TDZ on coupled ILS Approaches
When must autopilot be use on approach
Coupled:
All Non-ILS Approached
CAT II and CAT III
PROF to MDA, when can you set MDA on approach
- Cleared
- Established (ILS or VOR, 1 dot / NDB +/-5 / NAV .3)
- Protected (2) (Good prof / large font alt not in 1R prior to min prof)
*Select Prof and MDA
Approach Deviation Limits
Altitude IAF to FAF: ±100’
Altitude FAF to Minimums: 0 to +50’
Airspeed: ±5 knots
LOC Course: ±1 dot
VOR: ± One dot or ±5°
ARC: ±1 nm
NDB Course: ±5° (NDB bearing)
RNAV(GPS)/RNAV(GNSS): No UNABLE RNP alert
LNAV path deviation
IAF to FAF: ± 0.5 nm
FAF to Minimums: ± 0.3 nm
VNAV path deviation FAF to Minimums: ± 100 (Full Diamond)
Go-Around without using Go-Around Button
With auto flight engaged, use of “vertical speed” or “level change” is ok if;
- On an ILS approach and not in Single or Dual Land (“LAND ARMED” must be displayed)
- On a non-ILS or visual approach and ACFT is at or above 1000’ AGL
When is the Go-Around mode engaged (FTM 109)
Pressing the Go-Around button;
- Below 2500’ RA
- Flaps or Slats extended
- Pressing the GA button above 2500’ RA with the flaps or slats extended selects GA thrust limits only.*
- If ground spoilers are deployed as a result of main wheel spin-up, ATS will not advance the number 2 throttle. Manually advance throttles to GA thrust.*
Use caution on MD10 Go-Around (FTM 109)
DO NOT RETRACT BEYOND FLAPS 22° until reaching the all engine ACCEL altitude
Below 1500’ AGL, the ACFT pitches to 15° which could cause it to accelerate above FR and then at above 1500’ AGL, it could pitch up slowing the ACFT below FR speed.
Go-Around with V/S or Level Change (FTM 113, 116)
- AUTO FLIGHT is engaged, and
- Coupled to an ILS and LAND ARMED is still displayed in the FMA, or
- Conducting a non-ILS instrument approach or visual approach and the airplane is at or above 1000 feet AGL.
- Go-around with Vertical Speed is not available with DUAL LAND, SINGLE LAND, or G/S APPR ONLY displayed in the altitude FMA.*
- To avoid undesired level-off, do not select PROF until the runway sequences to the FROM waypoint in the FMS flight plan or level at the desired level-off altitude.*
