Oral Bank - AUTO FLIGHT & FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Flashcards
The outer BANK LIMIT Selector applies to which roll mode?
HDG SEL
How do you re-engage the autothrottles when the pitch mode is ALT, V/S or G/S?
Push the SPD button
How do you re-engage the auto throttles when the pitch mode is VNAV or FLCH SPD?
Cycle the A/T ARM switch to OFF and back to ARM
How can manually you select climb thrust after T/O or a go-around?
Push the THR switch
What function is reflect if the THR switch light remains extinguished or is illuminated?
EXTINGUISHED: Thrust limit function
ILLUMINATED: A/T mode function
How can you de-select the approach mode AFTER localiser and glide-slope captured? (2)
Select TO/GA or Disengage autopilot and position both F/D switches off
Can the glide slope be captured prior to Localiser intercept?
No
What does the amber horizontal line displayed through the affected ACTIVE pitch or roll mode indicate?
A flight mode fault is detected
Will the auto throttles engage if TO/GA is not selected prior to 50kts airspeed during the T/O?
No (auto throttles will auto engage above 400ft when VNAV captures)
When will VNAV activate during T/O?
400ft above runway elevation
Which pitch mode does not provide A/T speed protection with the A/T and A/P engaged?
V/S
When is TO/GA mode terminated after T/O?
By selecting any other pitch and roll mode, or by activation of LNAV/VNAV modes?
How can you disarm, LNAV, LOC, VNAV and APP modes when armed and prior to capture?
Push the mode switch a second time
Inflight, when is TO/GO armed?
Flaps out of up OR glideslope captured
For Autoland, what controls are used by the AFDS to steer the airplane on the LOC centreline after touchdown?
Rudder and nose wheel steering
On approach, with first push of TO/GA what active A/T mode would the FMA display with the A/T armed
THR
What auto throttle mode is activated with the second push of the TO/GA switch?
THR REF at full go around thrust
When does the A/T annunciation change to HOLD during T/O
65kts
What climb rate is achieved during a go-around with one push of the TO/GA switch?
2,000ft / min
With the APP switch selected, what altitude will the electrical busses isolate allowing multiple autopilot engagement for Autoland operations?
Below 1,500’ RA
When will the FLARE mode activate during auto land?
50’ RA
What pitch is commanded by the AFDS when TO/GA is selected in a wind sheer recovery?
15 degrees pitch-up or slightly below the pitch limit, which ever is lower
Describe the condition that would cause VNAV ALT to display as the pitch mode?
A conflict between the VNAV profile and the MCP altitude
What is the max intercept angle that the LOC will capture the APP or LOC mode armed?
less than 120 degrees
During autoland, what action normally disconnects the auto throttles?
A reverse thrust lever is raised to idle
When does the ROLLOUT mode activate?
Below 5’
How are the autothrottle, roll or pitch mode changes emphasised on the FMA?
Green box around the mode for 10 seconds
On the 747-8, how would you deactivate LOC or FAC mode once they have been captured? (3)
- Selecting a roll mode other than LNAV
- Pushing TOGO
- Disengaging the A/P and positioning both F/D switches to OFF
On the 744, LCF, -8, NO AUTOLAND displays on the PFD if a multichannel approach (MCA) is selected by MCA engage status (LAND 2/3) has not been annunciated by _________ft?
600’ AGL
On the 747-8, what does the FAC (armed) as a Roll Mode FMA indicate?
APP switch selected and AFDS is set for conduct of an IAN (Integrated Approach Navigation) procedure
