Scenario 8 Flashcards
All issues have been addressed by maintenance and the crew has just been cleared for takeoff. The Captain aligns the aircraft with the runway centerline, the PF spools the engines to 40% N1, and then advances the throttles while simultaneously selecting TO/GA.
How does the MAX protect against unacceptable high asymmetric thrust conditions?
Thrust Control Malfunction Accommodation (TCMA). TCMA is an EEC function that provides protection against unacceptable high asymmetric thrust conditions while on the ground including an RTO or landing. If an unacceptable high asymmetric thrust condition is detected, the EEC automatically shuts off fuel to the affected engine.
Though both the NG and MAX have the same Structural Limit Protection, what additional feature does the MAX EEC’s provide for overspeed?
Electronic Overspeed System (EOS). If an uncontrollable N2 overspeed is detected the EEC shuts off fuel to the affected engine. The amber ENG FAIL alert illuminates when N2 falls below 50%.
Because the runway is considered a critical zone, what should pilots consider before entering the departure runway?
Do not perform flight deck tasks, except momentary items (lighting). Monitor the movement of other aircraft and vehicles Ensure the runway and any intersections are clear Be vigilant for aircraft and vehicles crossing without clearance.
What bank angle for an aircraft with split scimitar winglets will result in a lower ventral strake striking the ground?
Greater than 8.8 degrees. To ensure sufficient ground clearance, do not use the slideslip (wing low) crosswind landing technique alone when crosswinds exceed 15 kt.
If PWB manual wind entries are required, what additional step is necessary before TAF, METAR, or SPECI wind information is entered?
Manual entries of TAF, METAR, or SPECI wind information must be converted from true to magnetic before entry.
What is the maximum wind velocity for takeoff and landing?
The maximum wind velocity for takeoff and landing is 50 kt steady and 70 kt peak gust.
On takeoff with LNAV armed, LNAV becomes active at ______ ft AGL.
50
After takeoff, when does the Captain turn off the taxi light?
When flaps are up.
What is the proper rotation rate for takeoff in degrees per second?
2-3 degrees per second. Rotation rates in excess of the recommended 2-3 degrees per second can cause a tail strike.
If an engine exceedance occurs past V1, when is the minimum altitude that the thrust lever may be retarded?
400 ft. AGL
Should you follow flight directors for takeoff rotation rate?
No.
For Southwest standard noise abatement takeoff, what speed should be held from flap retraction until 3,000 ft AAE (unless SIP, NOTAM, airspace requirements dictate a higher/lower altitude)?
The ‘UP’ speed.
For a flaps 15 takeoff, upon reaching minimum cleanup altitude, what is the callout sequence?
“Set speed, flaps 5, climb thrust.”
What altitude, flight deck workload permitting, is the minimum to delete a reduced climb (i.e. CLB-1, CLB-2)?
5,000 ft AAE, as flight deck workload permits. Occasionally, it may be necessary to use CLB sooner (e.g., ATC requests a “best rate” climb due to traffic).
Why do we not delete the reduced climb settings at 5000 ft AAE in the MAX?
GE has determined that wear and tear on the hot section is reduced by running the engines cooler for a longer period of time. The reduction is phased out gradually by 15,000ft.
