What are the two factors to consider when making the decision to abort?
- the seriousness of the malfunction or other degraded conditions
- airspeed
When are the aural alerts for most advisories and most cautions and some warnings inhibited?
during takeoff roll from 70-140 KIAS and below 400 ft radar altitude
Abort Procedure
Abort - Announce
Power Levers- GND IDLE
Brakes and NWS - as req
If you’re aborting, do not move the power levers below FLT IDLE above what airspeed and why?
139 KTAS
due to the possibility of an over frequency condition caused by excessively high propeller RPM transients leading to all engine-driven generators tripping offline.
If you’re aborting with an inboard engine shut down, when do you move the power levers below FLT IDLE and why?
not above 70 KTAS
may cause a loss of directional control
During an abort or landing, forward pressure on the yoke does what?
increases the nosewheel load and improves ground tracking
At the first indication of directional control difficulties during four engine reverse, what do you do?
immediately return all power levers to GND IDLE until the affected engine can be identified.
Use rudder, aileron, NWS, differential power and diff braking as req
If loose material is present on the runway, when do you stop reversing?
by 50 KIAS
Engine Failure Below Refusal Speed Procedure
Aborted Takeoff procedure - Perform
Engine Failure After Refusal Speed Procedure
Takeoff - Continue
Directional Control - Maintain
Aircraft Attitude - Rotate to target pitch
What are the target pitch attitude and takeoff trim setting chosen for?
So that if the critical engine fails btwn refusal and rotate speed, the aircraft will be ~ in longitudinal trim at Vobs passing 50 foot height.
Why does retracting gear and flaps simultaneously increase Vmca?
reduction in available hydraulic pressure to the rudder booster assembly
Selecting the flap lever to a position less than 15% increases Vmca by how much? and why?
36 kts
because of the reduction in rudder boost px and the ATCS power restoration schedule
What speed is the worst case Vmca with flaps up and low boost?
135 kts
What is the normal retraction schedule?
<100,000: raise flaps accelerating thru FUSS (135)
100,000-140,000: begin flap retraction when accelerating thru 135 and end at FUSS (Vobs +25kts)
> 140,000: begin raising flaps at MFRS (Vobs+5kts) in 10% increments for each 5 kts increase in airspeed ending at FUSS (Vobs + 25kts)
Engine Fire Shutdown Procedure
FIRE handle - Pull
Agent - Discharge (if req)
ENGINE START switch - STOP
How long do you wait after discharging the first bottle before discharging the second?
15 secs
APU Fire Procedure
APU Fire Handle - Pull
Agent - Discharge

Close all crossfeed switches Turn off affected wing hyd pumps Close ISO Valve and Nacelle SOV Turn off all electrical equipment on that wing Turn off all Pod equipment Sideslip to keep fire away from fuselage
How should you approach hot brakes?
from the fore or aft of the wheel area
How far away should you stand from hot brakes?

If a fire is near an oxygen component or there is a possibility that the oxygen could increase the fire, consider doing what?
closing the oxygen manual shutoff valve, provided portable oxygen bottles are adequate for the situation.
Fire/Smoke/Fumes Elimination Procedure
Crew/Pax - Notify
Oxygen - EMERGENCY, 100%, ON (ALL)
Doing what greatly assists in elimination of fire?
depressurization at altitude due to lack of oxygen
When should you conduct load shedding?
as a last resort when the malfunctioning unit cannot be located.
How many operating generators are required to restore LH and RH AC buses?
2
Rapid Decompression Procedure
OXYGEN - NORMAL, 100%, ON (ALL)
In an emergency descent due to rapid decompression, what should you consider doing?
using the autopilot and autothrottles during descent. Select IAS mode and set the altitude select to the level off altitude
If an outboard engine experiences large HP oscillations when the aircraft is below Vmpr, what does the opposite outboard engine do?
reacts with corresponding ATCS oscillations.
What is the autofeather criteria?
No. 1 & 4 autofeather automatically
No. 2 & 3 either autofeather or remain windmilling at 100%
If below 15,500 ft and 3 other engines are running normally an inboard will autofeather after a 2 sec delay to give the engine time to recover.
At or above 15,500 ft or if another engine is shut down, the inboard windmills at 100%
Airstart envelope for JP-5/8 and Jet A
<250 KIAS and <25,000 ft
Airstart envelope for JP-4
<250 KIAS and <22,500 ft
Four Engine Flameout Procedure
Aircraft attitude - Adjust to maintain 15-28% NG Power levers (all) - FLT IDLE CROSS FEED switches - CLSD No. 2 & 3 Engine Start switches - Stop, Start, Release No. 1 & 4 Engine Start switches - Stop, Start, Release
Why do we select inboard engines first during a four engine flameout?
because at least one of them will have 100% NP
Why do we select STOP on the engine start switches first during a four engine flameout?
to prevent the loss of all hydraulic and generator power and to clear the FAIL condition before an outboard switch is placed to START.
Placing the engine switch to RUN before the FAIL message is cleared will cause the windmilling prop to autofeather because the MC autofeather logic will determine that an engine is running as soon as START is selected.
How can you tell a prop is feathered?
Forward rotation up to 1/2 revolution/sec
How long does the aux feather pump run for?
20 seconds
Feathering is limited to how many commands?

within 20 minutes or pull the FIRE HANDLE
Propeller Windmilling Limitations
Prop windmilling at 100%

Why do we not extend flaps greater than 50% until landing is assured with a failed engine?
provides an easier configuration for a go-around
If you trip all the generators offline, what else do you lose? What could happen?
Anti-skid protection is lost resulting in increased stopping distance, possible loss of directional control, and damage to the gear doors if hard braking is applied causing the main tires to fail

500 feet above the published minimums to allow altitude to add power and airspeed to execute a missed approach.
Approach and Landing with Two Engines Inoperative
What kind of approach do you want to fly?
a shallow AOB approach turn to a long straight-in ILS
If normal and anti-skid braking is not available, any braking before when may cause tires to fail?
before aircraft slows 30 KIAS below touchdown speed
If No. 1 and 2 are out, what do you lose?
Wing flaps and MLG have to be operated manually
Aux system to lower NLG
Aux system for emergency brake operation
Flight controls boost to be supplied by booster system

If you have a fuselage tank installed and an external fuel leak, what should you do and why?

Hydraulic System Pressure LO/LOSS/LEAK Procedure
ENGINE PUMPS switches (affected system) - OFF
SUCTION BOOST PUMPS switch (affected system) - OFF
Is the hydraulic system operational following a suction boost pump failure?
Yes if no hydraulic leak exists and the affected hydraulic system pressure is at least 2500 psi
If at any time hydraulic fluid is seen leaking from an engine, turn what off? and why?
engine-driven pump because of risk of fire. A line or pump rupture can dump hydraulic fluid into the engine
Why do we not want to shut off hydraulic engine pumps if pressure exceeds 3500 psi?
if you do.. the pressure line btwn the hyd pump and the shutoff valve is isolated from its means of pressure control. Excessive pressure will build up until the hyd pump or line ruptures, dumping this fluid into the engine nacelle
If hydraulic pressure is greater than 3750 psi, what has likely failed?
loss of system pressure relief valve and a failed hydraulic pump compensator
