Scenario 13 Flashcards
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.1. What is your optimum driftdown speed and max level off altitude?
232 KIAS, 24,700 ft. MSL

Q.13.2. What is the Max Continuous Thrust % N1 the Crew would set on the operating engine to accomplish the driftdown?
97.2 % N1.
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.3. At 280 kt idle descent what is the average number of NM traveled for each 1,000’ of altitude loss?
2.5 to 3 NM (depending on weight) per 1,000 ft of altitude loss.
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.4. Can we leave the MASTER CAUTION light illuminated as a memory cue while performing any task (e.g. fuel balancing)? Why?
No, this undesirable practice defeats the alerting function of the Master Caution system. Any new warning would not generate a caution event.

Q.13.5. What is the maximum holding airspeed and timing for turns when aircraft is above 6,000 and up to and including 14,000 ft?
230 Kt and 1 minute
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.6. What are the maximum speeds and timing for holding when at or below 6000 ft.?
200 Kts or flaps up maneuvering speed (whichever is faster) and 1 minute.
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.7. During an RNP approach with an RF leg on the final segment, what is the maximum allowable airspeed? Why?
165 kts (Cat D) Flying above these programmed speeds may exceed the autopilot/flight director capabilities.
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.8. Are there preferred automation modes to use while flying approaches? What would be the preferred modes to use while flying a LOC approach?
Yes; LNAV and VNAV would be the preferred modes. Other modes may be used, as appropriate, based on RRM principles.
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.9. What is the reason we set the MCP Alt to zeros on all instrument approaches except circle-to-land procedures?
This ensures that ALT ACQ doesn’t interrupt the VNAV PATH or vertical speed descent to the DA/DDA.
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.10. When using the HGS on visual approaches, where do we want to place the 3 degree ref line and how do we adjust aircraft pitch?
We adjust the descent rate to place the 3° reference line over the point of intended touchdown. Then, adjust aircraft pitch to place the flight path symbol over the intended touchdown point, resulting in an approximate 3° glidepath.
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.11. When is the Pilot Flying required to have their hands and feet on the aircraft controls?
Prior to the final approach segment when the autopilot is engaged and Flaps are extended for maneuvering or approach.
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.12. While on an approach using VNAV, flaps extended, what is the airspeed cursor set by and how can this be changed?
In VNAV, the airspeed cursor is set automatically by the FMC unless SPD INTV is in use. SPD INTV may be required for airspeed management during the approach (in order to comply with an ATC-assigned speed).
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.13. What Operational Requirements must be met regarding the Jeppesen approach page to conduct a CAT III approach?
“CAT III” must be in the title and CAT III approaches are authorized only when using a tailored approach chart that is labeled “SOUTHWEST HGS ONLY.”
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.14. What is required to get the HGS 4000 to auto capture for an AIII approach?
The STBY mode key on the HCP must be pushed when AIII is displayed on the right side of the standby line.
**An aircraft experienced an engine loss with the following information:
B737-700, FL 330, Temp: TAT -20 C, 140,000 lbs at start of driftdown, Engine Anti-Ice ON, Wings OFF, ISA +10 C.**
Q.13.15. Are we required to change the RNP value for an RNAV(GPS) approach?
No, it’s always .30 NM and is not listed in the minima block.
