Operations Flashcards by Scott Stouffer

Status messages

Checked during preflight. Not necessary after engine start. EICAS message will take care of it.

High weight flaps up maneuvering speed.

Above 680,000 #’s use 15 degrees of bank @ REF30+80. Normal maneuvering OK at REF30+100.

Minimum maneuver speed vs maneuver speed.

Maneuver speed is weight based.

Minimum maneuver speed is AOA and A/S based.

At what altitude will the Lower AMBER BAND exceed REF80?

20,000’

Amber band 10,000’-20,000’

Top of amber starts to lower below 30 degrees of bank protection

Flap retraction different than B767

Retract AT the speed for the flaps you have out.

IE. retract to 5 @ Flaps 5 maneuvering speed

When is climb thrust set?

All engines operating-after FLAPS 5 selected.

What is engine out acceleration height based on?

Based on accelerating to REF 30+100 while retracting flaps and setting MAX CONT within 5 mins

A/T on through landing

Use REF+5. No gust additive necessary. Command speed will be maintained higher by the system.

Perfectly

A/T off before landing

Use REF 30+1/2 HW and all of Gust not to exceed 20. Just like 767.

How to manage gust correction at touchdown when turning A/T’s off.

Gust factor maintained to touchdown. Bleed off the HW

A/T setting and non normal configurations

Same as 767. Adjusted VREF + all HW + 1/2 gust not to exceed 20

How to get REF speeds to show on speed tape

Must be programmed in FMC

When should cold temp supp procedure be done?

Colder than -30c

Primary way to trim 747 rudder

Level the control wheel. Trim into the down side.

Non normal configs and VNAV

Use of VNAV PTH is ok

When is FMC holding time valid?

Flaps up and flaps 1 when at holding speed

A/T general philosophy

Same as B767

Use of V/S

Same concept as B767

MCP normal/Alternate setting technique

Same as B767

Flight in heavy precip general

Slow down to reduce amount of precip intake

Taxi at high weights

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

When does body gear steering operate?

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

How far behind pilot is nose gear? Main gear?

Nose 7.25 feet. | Main 96 feet.

90 degree taxi turn

Start at aft edge of middle window initially using full tiller

Min radius 180 turn

Same as 767 except ONLY use outboard engines

Taxi on less than 4 engines

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

Initial climb speeds after take off

All engines: V2+10-25. | Engine failure: V2-+10.

How is CLB Thrust normally set?

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.

Secondary EICAS display for takeoff

Should be blank to avoid distractions

FMC pages for takeoff

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

Rolling or standing take off?

Rolling-minimizes engine surge for XW/TW

Use of tiller during takeoff

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

When does rudder become effective

40-60 knots

Tail strike pitch attitude

Flaps 10....12.5 degrees | Flaps 20....12.5 degrees

Crosswind takeoff

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

Use of assumed temperature

Contaminated-no. | Wet-yes.

ImprovedClimb Performance Take off procedure

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

Dry snow/Slush...

Dry Snow....4" | Slush/Standing water-.5"

Optimum climb speed?

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

When will LNAV engage?

Above 50' and within 2.5 miles of course.

How is VNAV used for take off

Prearmed. Engages automatically at 400'.

Normal VNAV take off sequence

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.

No VNAV takeoff procedure

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.

2nd engine fails after takeoff

Specific procedures exist. See AOM 1 FT70
