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
- speed +20/-5 kts of Vapp
- ROD < 1000’fpm and stable
- 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’)
- Speed within 5kts of Vapp
- Engine thrust is stabilized at a level that results in target speed
Stabilized approach criteria (200’)

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
