oft 3 Flashcards
takeoff procedures
after cleared to line up and wait or takeoff, complete before takeoff below the line flow and checklist. Cleared for takeoff, turn on landing lights, push thrust levers up to 40%. stabilize momentarily and check for symmetrical spool up. then call for set takeoff thrust and push TO/GA. hands off the nosewheel. PM will call takeoff thrust set. make sure it is done before 60 knots and pf will keep hand on thrust levers and pm will keep hand at the base of the levers. PM will call 80kts, pf will say check. verify automatic call out of v1, call rotate at VR. looking for a rotation rate of 2-3 degrees per second to avoid the tail strike and get to 15 degrees pitch attitude. Do not follow the flight director until after takeoff. retract gear after a positive rate of climb is established. at 400 feet, set roll mode and you can engage autopilot. at acceleration height, set pitch mode, and set speed to flaps up maneuvering speed. then retract flaps. once flaps are up, move to after takeoff.
fma indications
Flight mode annunciations. let you know what modes your autopilot is in. located on pfd at the top of the display. shows autothrottle, roll and pitch modes active with autopilot. engaged modes are in green and armed modes are right below in white.
autothrottle modes
n1, maintains thrust at the selected n1 limited displayed on thrust mode display. ga, A/T maintains thrust at reduced go around setting. retard, a/t moves levers to the aft stop, followed by arm mode. fmc speed, a/t maintain speed commanded by fmc but still limited to max n1 displayed. mcp speed, a/t maintains speed set in mcp ias/mach display but still limited. thr hld, a/t servos are inhibited, pilot may set thrust manually. arm, no mode engaged, servos inhibited and min speed protection is provided.
vnav roll modes
to/ga, takeoff-10degrees nose down until 60 knots airspeed, 15 degrees nose up after 60 knots, 15 degrees nose up after lift off until sufficient climb rate is acquired, the pitch will maintain mcp speed plus 20 knots. to/ga go around, when engaged, f/ds command roll to hold ground track, and 15 degrees nose up, after reaching programmed rate of climb, pitch commands target airspeed for the flap setting based on max t/o weight calculations. vnav, fmc commands pitch snd a/t modes to fly vertical profile. vnav speed mains fmc speed diisplayed on a/s indicator and/or cdu climb and descent page. vnav pth maintains fmc altitude or descent path with pitch commands. vnav alt exists when there is a conflict b/t the vnav profile and the mcp and the a/c levels at the mcp alt.
lnav roll mode
to engage, must be on a heading and within3 nm of active route segment. must be on an intercept couse of 90 degrees or less and intercept the route prior to the active waypoint.
descent procedure
do the descent checklist prior to the a/c descent. fmc descent path is the most economical descent method. distance required for descent is 3 nm/1000 ft altitude lost. plan descent so arrive at pattern altitude at flasp up maneuvering speed approx 12 miles from the runway when coming straight in or 8 miles if you are coming abeam. good cross check is 30 nm, 10000ft, 250 knots. complete approach briefing as soon as practical, preferably before top of descent. use of speed brake between down and flt det can result in rapid roll rates. use of s/b with flaps extended should be avoided. use speed brake if you need to increase your descent rate. extend flaps when in the terminal area and conditions require a reduction in a/s below flaps up maneuvering.
ils approach
follow a bbbb recall c. build the approach in the box. when maneuvering to intercept the localizer, take flaps 5 and flaps 5 speed before loc capture. spin heading bug to inbound course. be sure to do TIPC and if that is good, you can arm approach mode. check that vor/loc and g/s are armed in the fma. call out loc alive and loc capture. call out g/s alive and at g/s alive take flaps 15 and gear down and set speed to flaps 15 speed. at g/s capture, call for final flap setting, set speed to 5 above vref, and landing checklist. perform landing checklist, set missed approach altitude, verify crossing altitude at faf, and monitor, disengage no lower than min use height.
TIPC
when you have these four steps, you are good to arm approach mode
T-ILS tuned and identified (identifier with an I next to in on the pfd.
I-a/c on an inbound intercept heading
P-loc and g/s pointers appear on attitude display and in the proper position
C- clearance for the approach has been approved
landing procedures
complete landing checklist after final flap selection is called and review complete not later than 500 feet agl. after checklist is complete, PM verifies and states altitude set, checklist complete, cleared XXXXX. command speed will be vref+5 if a/t disengaged, add 1/2 steady hw component plus full gust increment above steady wind to ref speed. max command speed should not exceed vref+15 or landing flap placard speed minus 5, whichever is lower. plane should be stable thru 1000 feet for approach. when threshold passes under the nose of the aircraft, shift visual focus to the end of the runway. initiate flare when aircraft is 20 feet from the ground by increasing pitch attitude 2-3 degrees. after flare is initiated, smoothly retard thrust levers to idle and keep pitch attitude constant. for landing roll, close out thrust levers, verify speed brake lever position (PM), called deployed if up, and if lever is not up, call no speedbrake. fly nosewheel to the deck, verify correct autobrake setting. move reverse levers to interlocks and hold until interlock release and apply reverse thrust. by 60 knots, start stowing reverse thrust. pm calls 60 knots. disarm autobrakes before taxi speed with manual braking as needed. when the autobrake disarm light illuminates, PM calls autobrakes off. pf should notify pm when using manual brakes
autobrake usage
max-used when min stopping distance is required. decel rate is less than that produced by full manual braking.
med (2 or 3)- should be used for routine ops and optimizes brake wear.
min(1)-provides min decel
