  2. The crew is aware that LOC or GS beam fluctuations, independent of aircraft systems, may occur and the PF is prepared to immediately disconnect the AP and take appropriate action, should unsatisfactory guidance occur.
  3. At least CAT 2 capability is displayed on the FMA, and CAT 2/CAT 3 procedures are used.

40
Q

What is the maximum brake temperature for takeoff?

Q

What are the maximum speeds landing gear extension and retraction?
for

A

10 Minutes in case of engine failure

62
Q

What are the engine starter limitations for the A340?
