Performance

Question 1

What is considered a WET runway?

Answer 1

areas of reflectivity from moisture, no standing water

Question 2

Where would you find info re Contamination LEVEL 1?

Answer 2

Perf section of AOM Vol1

Question 3

You’re using Aerodata, not the TLR. The temperature is 10 C greater than the TLR temperature. Do you need a new TLR?

Answer 3

NO.When using ACARS performance data, the TLR can be invalid for environmental conditions. However, if the TLR is
invalid for PTOW or MEL/CDL components, a new TLR must be generated. The TLR does not have to be transmitted
to the crew

Question 4

You’re now 12,000 lbs heavier than the TLR numbers. Do you need new numbers if you’re using Aerodata for perfromance calculations?

Answer 4

Yes. You’ll need a new TLR and flight plan

Question 5

The stab trim from the TLR differs from FMC figures by 3 units. What do you do?

Answer 5

IF A DIFFERENCE OF MORE THAN 2 UNITS IS NOTED, A REVIEW OF ALL FMC ENTRIES WILL BE
ACCOMPLISHED

Question 6

You have —- on the V speeds after entering the performance numbers. What does this mean? Do you need to do anything ?

Answer 6

Means the FMC cannot generate data for the inputs given. Stop all inputs. Investigate. Something is wrong

Question 7

What are the normal AB, Thrust reverser, and flaps settings?

Answer 7

Ab 2, Thrust Rev idle, Flaps 25

Question 8

What if you can’t get AB2 and Flaps 25 performance?

Answer 8

Flaps 30 AB 3 then

Question 9

Where can Complex Special Procedures be found?

Answer 9

Aerodata Handbook

Question 10

How long is the TLR good for?

Answer 10

12 hours

Question 11

What’s ICAO ‘A’ noise abatement profile?

Answer 11

Thrust reduction at 1500’ AFE

Question 12

What is NADP 2?

Answer 12

Accelleration height is 1000’ AFE, and Thrust Reduction at Flaps 5

Question 13

What is NADP 1?

Answer 13

Accelleration height is 3000’ and thrust reduction is at 1000’ AFE

Question 14

You lose an engine in IMC, do you continue on the SID?

Answer 14

Straight out to 1000’ if wx below 1000/3

No turns will be commenced below 1,000’ Above Field Elevation (AFE) when takeoff weather is less than
1,000’ ceiling and 3 sm / 5 km visibility unless a Special Departure Procedure prescribes otherwise, or the
assigned instrument departure procedure specifically requires a turn before reaching 1,000’ AFE

Question 15

What is the engine failure procedure in VMC?

Answer 15

no turns below 1000’, return to the airport VMC to land

Question 16

What is the engine failure below 1000’ in IMC?

Answer 16

Climb straight ahead to
1,000' AFE, then commence
turn to NAVAID or heading
as listed using maximum bank
angle appropriate for aircraft
speed.
• If NAVAID is listed, hold on
the inbound radial using a
direct entry and standard
holding procedures.
• If heading is listed, fly heading
until a minimum safe
altitude is attained. Radar
vectors may be accepted
when available after reaching
1,000'.

Question 17

What’s the procedure for engine failure between 1000’ and 3000’?

Answer 17

Commence turn to NAVAID
or heading as listed using
maximum bank angle appropriate
for aircraft speed.
• If NAVAID is listed, hold on
the inbound radial using a
direct entry and standard
holding procedures.
• If heading is listed, fly heading
until a minimum safe
altitude is attained. Radar
vectors may be accepted
when available.

Question 18

The landing distance on the TLR is caclulated how?

Answer 18

50’ threshold crossing, 500’ + landing distance multiplied by 15%

Question 19

The TLR is valid for 12 hours. If you’re on a 14 hour flight will you need a new one before you land>?

Answer 19

No. legal for takeoff, legal to land

Question 20

The aerodata does not return valid takeoff information. Can you just take off using the TLR data?

Answer 20

Yes. if the TLR is valid, you can use it

Question 21

What does this mean? 26L-E2000F

Answer 21

rwy 26L east 2000 feet shortened

Question 22

ACARS takeoff performance has “ANTI ICE” defaulted to AUTO SELECT. what does this mean?

Answer 22

will default to eng anti ice ON when temperatures are below 10 C and the runway is not dry

Question 23

When would you need to select ANTI ICE ON for the ACARS takeoff performance then?

Answer 23

if visibility less than 1 sm and temps below 10C
