Non-Normal Maneuvers

Question 1

Approach to Stall or Stall Recovery

—
Do all recoveries from approach to stall as if an actual stall has occurred.
Immediately do the following at the first indication of stall (buffet or stick shaker).
Note: Do not use flight director commands during the recovery.

Answer 1

Pilot Flying:
• Initiate the recovery:
- Hold the control column firmly.
- Disengage autopilot and autothrottle.
- Smoothly apply nose down elevator until buffet or stick shaker stops. Nose down stabilizer trim can 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.

Pilot Monitoring:

• Monitor altitude and airspeed
• Verify all needed actions have been done and call out any omissions.
• Call out any trend toward terrain contact.
• Set the FLAP lever as directed.

WARNING: *If the control column does not provide the needed response, stabilizer trim can be needed. Excessive use of pitch trim can aggravate the condition, or can result in loss of control or in high structural loads.

WARNING: ** Excessive use of pitch trim or rudder can aggravate the condition, or can result in loss of control or in high structural loads.

Question 2

GPWS Caution

Accomplish the following maneuver for any of these aural alerts:
- SINK RATE
- TERRAIN
- DON’T SINK
- TOO LOW FLAPS
- TOO LOW GEAR
- TOO LOW TERRAIN
- GLIDESLOPE
- BANK ANGLE
- AIRSPEED LOW
[Enhanced GPWS]
- CAUTION TERRAIN
[Peaks and Obstacles]
- CAUTION OBSTACLE

Answer 2

Correct the flight path, airplane configuration, or airspeed.

The below glideslope deviation alert may be cancelled or inhibited for:

• localizer or backcourse approach
• circling approach from an ILS
• when conditions require a deliberate approach below glideslope
• unreliable glideslope signal.

Note: If a terrain caution occurs when flying under daylight VMC, and positive visual verification is made that no obstacle or terrain hazard exists, the alert may be regarded as cautionary and the approach may be continued.
Note: Some aural alerts repeat.

Question 3

GPWS Warning

Accomplish the following maneuver for any of these conditions:
- Activation of the “PULL UP” warning.
[Enhanced GPWS]
- Activation of “PULL UP” or “TERRAIN TERRAIN PULL UP” warning.
[Peaks and Obstacles]
- Activation of the “PULL UP” or “OBSTACLE OBSTACLE PULL UP” warning.
- Other situations resulting in an unacceptable flight toward terrain.

Answer 3

Pilot Flying:

• Disengage autopilot.
• Disengage 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.
• 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.

Pilot Monitoring:

• Assure maximum* thrust.
• Verify all needed actions have been completed and call out any omissions.
• Monitor vertical speed and altitude (radio altitude for terrain clearance and barometric altitude for a minimum safe altitude.)
• Call out any trend toward terrain contact.

Note: Aft control column force increases as the airspeed decreases. In all cases, the pitch attitude that results in intermittent stick shaker or initial buffet is the upper pitch attitude limit. Flight at intermittent stick shaker may be needed to obtain a positive terrain separation. Use smooth, steady controls to avoid pitch attitude overshoot and stall.
Note: Do not use flight director commands.
Note: *Maximum thrust can be obtained by advancing the thrust levers full forward if the EECs are in the normal mode. If terrain contact is imminent, advance thrust levers full forward.
Note: If positive visual verification is made that no obstacle or terrain hazard exists when flying under daylight VMC conditions before a terrain or obstacle warning, the alert may be regarded as cautionary and the approach may be continued.
