Q

How to get REF speeds to show on speed tape

A

Must be programmed in FMC

23
Q

When should cold temp supp procedure be done?

A

Colder than -30c

24
Q

Primary way to trim 747 rudder

A

Level the control wheel. Trim into the down side.

25
Q

Non normal configs and VNAV

A

Use of VNAV PTH is ok

26
Q

When is FMC holding time valid?

A

Flaps up and flaps 1 when at holding speed

27
Q

A/T general philosophy

A

Same as B767

28
Q

Use of V/S

A

Same concept as B767

29
Q

MCP normal/Alternate setting technique

A

Same as B767

30
Q

Flight in heavy precip general

A

Slow down to reduce amount of precip intake

31
Q

Taxi at high weights

A

Taxiing 15,000’ or farther at high weights use 20 knots max

32
Q

When does body gear steering operate?

A

Nose gear angles greater than 20 degrees and below 20 knots.

33
Q

How far behind pilot is nose gear? Main gear?

A

Nose 7.25 feet.

Main 96 feet.

34
Q

90 degree taxi turn

A

Start at aft edge of middle window initially using full tiller

35
Q

Min radius 180 turn

A

Same as 767 except ONLY use outboard engines

36
Q

Taxi on less than 4 engines

A

Shut down single engine? Make it #3.
Shut down two engines?
Make it #2,3.

37
Q

Initial climb speeds after take off

A

All engines: V2+10-25.

Engine failure: V2-+10.

38
Q

How is CLB Thrust normally set?

A

THRUST REDUCTION is programmed by pilot in FMC. We use Flaps 5 as the FMC entry. When Flaps 5 are reached Thrust reduction to CLB occurs automatically.

39
Q

Secondary EICAS display for takeoff

A

Should be blank to avoid distractions

40
Q

FMC pages for takeoff

A

PF-TAKEOFF REF: gives immediate access to Vspeeds should they fail to appear on tape.

PM-LEGS normally.

41
Q

Rolling or standing take off?

A

Rolling-minimizes engine surge for XW/TW

42
Q

Use of tiller during takeoff

A

Normally do not use. Absolute maximum of 30 knots. 20 knots is better. Better yet? None

43
Q

When does rudder become effective

A

40-60 knots

44
Q

Tail strike pitch attitude

A

Flaps 10….12.5 degrees

Flaps 20….12.5 degrees

45
Q

Crosswind takeoff

A

Same as B767. During gusty high winds use higher power setting

46
Q

Use of assumed temperature

A

Contaminated-no.

Wet-yes.

47
Q

ImprovedClimb Performance Take off procedure

A

This is used only at flaps 20. You use excess runway to gain more speed while on the ground. Higher V speeds are the result

48
Q

Dry snow/Slush…

A

Dry Snow….4”

Slush/Standing water-.5”

49
Q

Optimum climb speed?

A

V2+10.

V2+10-25 however results in the same climb profile.

50
Q

When will LNAV engage?

A

Above 50’ and within 2.5 miles of course.

51
Q

How is VNAV used for take off

A

Prearmed. Engages automatically at 400’.

52
Q

Normal VNAV take off sequence

A
  1. FMC pre-programmed with ACCEL altitude and THRUST RED (Flaps 5).
  2. VNAV pre-armed.
  3. Activates @ 400’.
  4. @ ACCEL alt retract flaps.
  5. @ Flaps hitting 5 verify CLB THR.
53
Q

No VNAV takeoff procedure

A
  1. @ Accel altitude-FLCH set speed to REF80+20,
  2. Retract flaps.
  3. Flaps get to 5 select CLB thrust on MCP using THR switch.
54
Q

2nd engine fails after takeoff

A

Specific procedures exist. See AOM 1 FT70
