What is the stabilzed approach criteria?
All approaches should be stabilized by 1,000 feet above airport elevation. An approach is considered stabilized when all of the following criteria are met:
- the aircraft is on the correct flight path
- only small changes in heading/pitch are required to maintain the correct flight path
- the aircraft speed is not more than VREF + 20 knots indicated airspeed and not less than VREF
(Note: If an approach requires an approach speed of greater than VREF+20, a special briefing
should be conducted).
- the aircraft is in the correct landing configuration
- sink rate is no greater than 1,000 feet per minute, if an approach requires a sink rate greater than
1,000 feet per minute, a special briefing should be conducted
- power setting is appropriate for the aircraft configuration
- all briefings and checklists have been conducted.
What is the stabilized approach criteria for a visual approach?
wings level at 300’ AGL
You get “Sink Rate”, followed by another “Sink Rate” from the GPWS. What are your actions?

use LNAV mins

When does the daily need to done by?
What’s an example?
A/C must land 24 hours after the completion of the inspection.
Flight departs at 0800Z on a 12 hour flight. The daily was done at 0200z. You must have a daily completed before departure
It’s Tuesday. The last T/S was completed last Wednesday. When must you plan to have landed by?
By 2359Z of that Tuesday night.
Loadmaster comes in and says more freight has arrived. The aircraft is now 12,000 lbs heavier than flight planned. Describe the steps you will accomplish.
- Get a new Flight Plan from Dispatch
- Get a new TLR - make sure the new TLR and flight plan reflect the change in weight
- May need more fuel. Consider calling back the refueller
- Redo performance if necessary
make card for scenario, more than 10000 lbs change no new flight plan, etc. NP 58
You’re inputing the performance data and the trim is off by 3%. Do you need to do anything?
if a difference of more than 2 degrees is noted, a review of FMC and performance entries should be accomplished
can you erase a status message in the CMC?
no
When must you address an Status message that appears?
any time up until engine start
When can you start the APU?
30 minutes prior to engine start
no ground power available as you taxi in
You get the Weight and Balance and the weight is 12,000lbs less than the TLR. Do you have to do anything?
yes, a pen and ink revision on the flight release and new TLR must be generated, but does not need ot be in the crew’s posession.
If you receive a weight and balance loadsheet and the weight is greater than 10,000lbs what do you need to do?
get a new TLR /top copy (see notes in AOM I for further info)
You’re flying to an airport not on any charts. What should you think about?
consult the Supp Procedures for info
