Normal procedures until BEFORE TAXI Flashcards
When we use QRH or MEL?
After engine startvIllumination of the MASTER CAUTION and system annunciator lights requires accomplishment of the appropriate non–normal procedure. Upon completion of the procedure and prior to takeoff, the Minimum Equipment List Dispatch Deviations Guide (MELDDG) or airline equivalent should be consulted to determine if MEL relief is available. Once the aircraft begins to move under its own power, for the purpose of preparing for take-off, the aircraft is no longer constrained by the MEL.
Mandatory Climbing mode?
It is mandatory to select VNAV after all MCP Altitude/Flight Level changes during Climb.
Use V/S during climb
It is prohibited to select V/S unless the ROC approaching the cleared Altitude/Flight Level exceeds the following limits:
- At 3000ft to level off if ROC exceeds 3000ft per min, select V/S and reduce ROC to a maximum 3000ft per min.
- At 2000ft to level off if ROC exceeds 2000ft per min, select V/S and reduce ROC to a maximum 2000ft per min.
- At 1000ft to level off if ROC exceeds 1000ft per min, select V/S and reduce ROC to a maximum 1000ft per min.
FD use in Approach with V/S
For Instrument Approaches using V/S, or if no coded RWXX exists in the FMC, flight directors must be recycled at minimums.
CDU entries
On the ground, before engine start, the control display unit (CDU) entries are normally performed by the PF and verified by the PM. After start, the CDU entries are normally accomplished by the PM and verified by the PF.
After route modification call out (inflight)
LNAV AVAILABLE
Handover of control
The PF must clearly state the AFDS and A/T status by reading the FMA from left to right before handing over controls.
Example, manual flight; “you have control, autopilot and autothrottle disengaged, LNAV, VNAV, descending FL 100”.
Example, autopilot and autothrottle engaged; “you have control, Command A, N1, LNAV, VNAV, maintaining FL 370”.
Handover radios

Headset usage policy
In the event that wearing of oxygen masks is necessary, with or without a headset, the ACP PTT switch should be set to “I/C” to complete the checklist item “Crew communications…………Establish.”
Inexperienced co-pilot
A Co-pilot is inexperienced until they have completed 500 flight time hours on the B737 with Ryanair Group airlines. Every inexperienced co-pilot shall so advise the Commander prior to operating.
Co-pilot flying
the Commander shall perform the take-off or landing himself when the following conditions are experienced:
- Crosswinds more than 2/3rds limiting value.
- Runway is performance limited.
- Take-off and landing RVR’s less than 1000 m.
- Ceiling is less than 100’ above decision altitude for a precision approach and 200’ above minima (MDA) for a non-precision approach aid.
- The runway is contaminated.
- Abnormal procedures are required due to system defects.
- Inexperienced co-pilots shall not conduct the landing when the crosswind is in excess of 15kt during normal operations. This restriction does not preclude the co-pilot from flying a monitored approach.
- Visual Approaches.
- Forecast or reported windshear.

APU on ground
To conserve fuel and reduce emissions, start the APU just prior to closing the L1 door unless environmental conditions dictate otherwise.
Oxygen test
TEST/RESET switch – Push and hold
Verify that the yellow cross shows momentarily in the flow indicator.
Regulator selector – Rotate to EMER
Continue to hold the TEST/RESET switch down with the regulator selector in the EMER position for 5 seconds. Verify that the yellow cross shows continuously in the flow indicator.
Verify that the crew oxygen pressure does not decrease more than 100 psig.
Turbulence shear level
Severe Turbulence can be anticipated whenever the shear is equal to or greater than 5. Reduce cruise altitude if such turbulence is likely.
