Q

V1 is 126. V2 is 139. What speed will be commanded by the flight director after rotation?

A

V2 + 15 knots (139 + 15 = 154)

20
Q

On your FMA you have THR, HDG SEL, and FLCH SPD, which statement is true?

A

Pitch controls airspeed and autothrottle controls vertical path.

21
Q

T/F? With LNAV engaged, the bank angle will NOT exceed 15 degrees if 15 degrees is set as the bank angle limit.

A

False

22
Q

Fire detection and extinguishing systems are installed for the following areas:

A

APU, cargo compartments, engines, and lavatories.

23
Q

You are at 82 knots with an ATM derate and have forgotten to turn on the F/D switches. What happens with a TO/GO switch is pushed?

A

The flight directors display.

24
Q

T/F: You need hydraulic power to move the two spoilers and stabilizer if you are in the Mechanical Backup mode>

A

True

25
Q

T/F: The Flaps and Slats can operate independently in either the primary or secondary mode.

A

True

26
Q

When in the Normal flight control mode and you have manually shut down the stabilizer or it has failed, do you have pitch trim available.

A

Yes, pilot pitch trim inputs change the PFC trim reference speed.

27
Q

You are in VNAV PTH following a departure with altitude constraints and UNABLE NEXT ALTITUDE displays in the FMS-CDU.

A

Use speed intervention and manually set a lower speed, delete climb derate on THRUST LIMIT page.

28
Q

What does wheel to rudder cross-tie provide?

A

Provides the capability of being able to control the initial effects of an engine failure using control wheel inputs only.

29
Q

Automatic speedbrakes are provided for which flight control system mode?

A

Normal mode.

30
Q

What does the EICAS caution message PRI FLIGHT COMPUTERS indicate?

A

The flight control system is operating in the direct mode.

31
Q

What would cause the EICAS advisory message STAB GREENBAND to be displayed?

A

Nose gear pressure switch disagrees with computed stabilizer greenband.

32
Q

Which statement about checklist overrides is true?

A

Overriding a checklist will also remove any notes and deferred items associated with that checklist.

33
Q

Under FAA regulations, what is the maximum holding airspeed at 4000 ft MSL?

A

200 kts

34
Q

What does the white square in front of an EICAS message indicate?

A

There is an electronic checklist associated with this message that is NOT complete.

35
Q

T/F: GPWS immediate windshear alerts inhibits all PWS, TCAS, and other GPWS alerts.

A

True

36
Q

If the IAS/MACH window is blank, what happens with the FLCH switch is pushed?

A

The IAS/MACH window opens to the FMC target speed.

37
Q

PFD flight mode annunciations are shown in which sequence?

A

A/T, ROLL, PITCH

38
Q

In an early descent before reaching T/D, what are the FMA autothrottle mode annunciations you can expect to see during the descent.

A

THR then HOLD allowing pilot controlled rate of descent.

39
Q

When cleared for the apch, what must you see on the PFD and ND before pushing the APP switch?

A
  1. You intercept track angle is less than 120 degress from the loc course.
  2. The LOC/ILS frequency is tuned AND identified.
  3. Deviation scales show correct sensing
40
Q

What happens when you push the altitude select knob?

A

In climb/descent with altitude constraints, each push deletes the next constraint.

41
Q

When armed on takeoff, LNAV engages laterally within how many miles of the active route leg?

A

2.5 nautical miles
