Nice to know Flashcards
When is a reduced thrust takeoff not authorized?
-Runway contaminated by standing water, ice, slush, snow
-Windshear conditions are suspected
Prohibited by MEL/CDL
Stabilized approach criteria (1000’)
Landing configuration & checklist complete
Airspeed +20/-5 kts of Vapp
Sink rate is 1000’fpm or less and stable*
Aircraft is on a vertical path that will result in landing within the TDZ
*Vert speed up to 1200’ per minute may be acceptable under approach conditions that require higher airspeeds/ground speeds due to non-normal aircraft system configuration. This will be discussed during the approach briefing.
Stabilized approach criteria (500’)
Airspeed within 5kts of Vapp
Engine thrust is stabilized at a level that results in target speed
Stabilized approach criteria (200’)
Aircraft is aligned with the lateral confines of the runway
US holding airspeeds
SL-6000’:200kts (1min)
6001-14000’:230kts (1 min)
14001-above:265kts (1.5 min)
ICAO holding airspeeds
SL-6000’:200kts (1min)
6001-14000’:230kts (1min)
14001’-FL200: 240kts (1.5min)
20001-FL340: 265kts (1.5 min)
Emergency fuel (-400/-800)
-400:10K
-800: 11K
Minimum fuel (-400/-800)
-400: 14K
-800: 15K
When should you use autobrakes MAX?
Should be used when minimum stopping distance is required. Deceleration rate is less that that produced by full manual braking on a dry runway
When should you use autobrakes 3 or 4?
Should be used for wet or slippery runways or when landing rollout distance is limited
When should you use autobrakes 1 or 2?
These settings provide a moderate deceleration suitable for all routine operations
The selected autobrake setting should provide at least _____ feet less landing distance than runway length.
1,000
Conditions required for LAHSO?
RW must be dry
Weather minimum 1000’ and 3SM vis
Tailwind max of 3 kts
Winshear not reported
Minimum width for 180 turn (-400/-800)
-400: 153’
-800: 172’
Do not attempt to turn away from an obstacle within ____ ft of wingtip.
15’
Do not attempt to turn away from an obstacle within ____ ft of the nose (-400/-800)
-400: 56 ft
-800: 58 ft
Under what conditions would you abort an autostart (-400)?
No N1 rotation by idle N2
Fuel control switch is in RUN, the engine RPM is low, and the autostart switch is OFF
Oil pressure indication is not normal by the time the engine is stabilized at idle
When does the PF call for the After Takeoff checklist?
When flaps are called to be retracted up
What is Vapp with autothrottles disengaged?
Vref+1/2 HW+full gust not to exceed 20 kts
What is the minimum Vapp?
Vref+5kts
