Normal Procedures

Question 1

B737 COLD WEATHER STARTS:

Answer 1

Accomplish a normal start with the following considerations:
o If the engines have been cold soaked at ambient temperatures below -40°C, do not start or
motor the engine.
o Preheat and additional maintenance procedures are required. At an ambient temperature
below -35°C.
o Idle engines for two minutes before changing the thrust lever position

Question 2

Wing Anti-Ice:

Answer 2

Must be on during all ground operations between engine start and takeoff, when
icing conditions exist or are anticipated, unless the airplane is protected by the application
of Type II or Type IV fluid

Question 3

Engine Run-Up/Ice Shedding

Answer 3

The Fan Blade Ice Shedding Procedure may be applied during
conditions of freezing rain, freezing drizzle, freezing fog, or heavy snow. Weather conditions of
one statute mile visibility or less in snow or blowing snow are considered high risk conditions for
the formation of fan blade ice.

Question 4

Before Setting Takeoff Thrust: oil temps NG? Max?

Answer 4

B737NG: Check for engine oil temperature increase.

B737MAX: Ensure oil temperature is at or above 31°C. The approximate time for a cold
soaked engine to reach an oil temperature of 31°C ranges from 3 minutes at 0°C to 8
minutes at -32°C

Question 5

Time to touch down for ILS approaches

Answer 5

Cat 1- 15 seconds
Cat 2- 8 seconds
Cat 3 - 4 seconds

Question 6

Max holding speeds

Answer 6

Below 6000’ - 200kts max
6000-14000’ - 230kts max
Above 14000’ - 265kts max

Question 7

When commencing a RNP or LNAV/VNAV approach what is the correct sequence for manipulating the MCP panel?

Answer 7

Set “FIELD” elevation

Then set VNAV

Question 8

When given a heading from ATC what is the correct order to manipulate the MCP panel?

Answer 8

Center heading bug
Select “heading select”
Then turn the heading bug.
This ensures the turn commences in the correct direction.

Question 9

Minimum Oil Quantity prior to engine start:

Answer 9

NG non etops- 13
Etops- 18

Max non Etops- 15
etops- 19

Question 10

When does the Takeoff Performance OAT Discrepancy Alerting occur?

Answer 10

After the first engine start, if the sensed OAT and the OAT entered in the FMC differ by
more than 6 degrees, the message OAT DISGAREE-TAKEOFF SPEEDS DELETED will
appear on the FMC scratch pad and the takeoff data will be cleared

Question 11

What is the max speed within 10 miles and 3000’ of an airport?

Answer 11

200kts

Question 12

Cold weather corrections: use Cold Weather Requirements table (4.13.5.3)

Always correct DA/MDA when at or below 0C

Answer 12

Where applicable, temperature correct MDA then add 50 feet to create a DA

Question 13

Wind corrections on the approach are as follows?

Answer 13

1: When using auto throttle for landing ie: auto land operations it is just VREF +5 knots
2: All other landings it is VREF + wind additive

Wind additive is 1/2 the steady wind value plus all of the gust factor but never to exceed VREF +15

Ref: 4.13.7

Question 14

Cold weather corrections on the MAX

Answer 14

(B737MAX) Prior to commencing the instrument approach, the Vertical
Situational Display (VSD) must be selected for display whenever temperature
corrected altitudes are manually entered

Question 15

PAPI OR VASIS lights are not considered sources of required visual reference to continue an approach below minimums

Answer 15

False

Question 16

When does the weather radar begin scanning for wind shear?

Answer 16

1. When thrust levers are set for take off

2. Inflight below 2300 feet RA

Question 17

When would a crew expect a predictive wind shear caution or warning if there was micro burst activity in the area?

Answer 17

Within 1200 feet RA and 1.5 nm
And
Within 1200 feet RA and 3 nm

Question 18

What the definition for an upset condition?

Answer 18

An upset condition is now considered any time an airplane is diverting
from the intended airplane state. An airplane upset can involve pitch or
roll angle deviations as well as inappropriate airspeeds for the conditions

Question 19

What speed will the flight director command on an engine failure?

Answer 19

The flight director will command a minimum of V2 or the

existing speed up to a maximum of V2 + 20

Question 20

For wind shear Unacceptable flight path deviations are?

Answer 20

flight conditions below 1000
feet AGL, in excess of any of the following:
• 15 knots indicated airspeed
• 500 fpm vertical speed
• 5° pitch attitude
• 1 dot displacement from the glideslope
• unusual thrust lever position for a significant period of time

Question 21

Take off alternate required?

Take off alternate distance? 1hr 2 hr

Answer 21

Required when vis below 1/2 or 2600rvr
Weather is below landing minima

1 hr distance within 394nm
2 hr distance within 788nm etops PDC required

Question 22

What situations require a crew to land at the nearest suitable airport?

Answer 22

The non–normal checklist includes the item “Plan to land at the
nearest suitable airport.”
• Fire or smoke continues
• Only one AC power source remains (engine or APU generator)
• Only one hydraulic system remains (the standby system is
considered a hydraulic system)
• Any other situation determined by the flight crew to have a
significant adverse effect on safety if the flight is continued.
