Non Normal Manoeuvers

Question 1

Approach to STALL

Answer 1

Initiate the recovery

• Hold control column firmly
• Disengage autopilot and autothrottle
• Smoothly apply nose down elevator to reduce angle of attack until buffet or stick shaker stops.
• Nose down stab trim may be required.

Continue the recovery

• Roll in shortest direction until wings level
• Advance thrust levers as needed
• Retract speedbrake
• Do not change configuration, except if flaps up at lift off, call for flaps 1

Complete the recovery
*Check airspeed and adjust thrust
*Establish pitch attitude 
*Return to desired flight path
Re-engage autopilot and autothrottle if desired

Question 2

GPWS Warning

PULL UP TERRAIN TERRAIN PULL UP
or
PULL UP OBSTACLE OBSTACLE PULL UP

Answer 2

Disengage autopilot
Disconnect autothrottle
Aggressively apply maximum thrust
Simultaneously roll wings level and rotate to 20^ pitch attitude
Retract speedbrakes
If terrain remains a threat, rotate up to pitch limit indicator or initial buffet

Do not change gear or flap
Monitor RA for terrain separation
When clear of terrain slowly decrease pitch attitude and accelerate

After recovery establish aircraft above MSA or LSALT

Question 3

TCAS RA

Answer 3

If manoeuvring is required
Disengage autopilot and autothrottle
Smoothly adjust pitch and thrust to satisfy RA pitch command

Question 4

TCAS RA “Climb” whilst in landing configuration

Answer 4

Disengage autopilot and autothrottle
Advance thrust levers forward to ensure maximum thrust
Call for flaps 15
Smoothly adjust pitch to satisfy RA command
Verify positive rate of climb, call “ gear up”

Question 5

Nose high recovery

Answer 5

Recognise and confirm situation

Disengage autopilot and autothrottle 
Apply nose down elevator to obtain nose down pitch rate
Apply appropriate nose down pitch trim
Reduce thrust
Roll to obtain nose down pitch rate

Complete the recovery
When approaching horizon, roll to wings level
Check airspeed and adjust thrust
Establish pitch attitude

Question 6

Nose low recovery

Answer 6

Recognise and confirm situation

Recover
Disengage autopilot and autothrottle
Recover from stall if necessary
Roll in shortest direction to wings level

Complete recovery
Apply nose up elevator
Apply nose up trim
Adjust thrust and drag if needed

Question 7

Wind shear escape manoeuvre

Manual flight

Answer 7

Disengage autopilot 
Push TO/GA switch
Aggressively apply maximum thrust
Disconnect autothrottle 
Simultaneously roll wings level and rotate towards initial pitch of 15^
Retract speedbrakes
Follow FD TO/GA guidance if available 

Do not change gear or flap
Monitor vertical speed and altitude
Do not attempt to regain lost airspeed until windshear no longer a factor

Question 8

Windshear escape manoeuvre

Automatic flight

Answer 8

Push TO/GA switch 
Verify TO/GA mode annunciated
Verify GA thrust
Retract speedbrakes 
Monitor system performance 

Do not change gear or flap
Monitor vertical speed and altitude
Do not attempt to regain lost airspeed until windshear no longer a factor
