Question 3

Switching to internal PWR prior to departure should occur when?

Answer 3

Approx 10-15 mins prior to pushback

Question 4

How do we verify duct pressure prior to engine start?

Answer 4

Place demand on APU via packs

Question 5

Potential Hot Start conditions?

Answer 5

• Duct pressure less than 21psi
• Initial FF above 700pph
• Very slow or no accel of N2 with rapidly increasing EGT

Question 6

From crew perspective, hot starts generally from?

Answer 6

Late recognition and/or delayed action of moving FCS to CUTOFF

_{<em>with rapidly rising EGT, the FCS must be selected to CUTOFF well in advance (minimum 80 degrees before) red line to avoid </em><em>exceedence</em><em>.</em>}

Question 7

After an Aborted Engine Start what is target N2 for re-engaging starter?

Answer 7

Below 20%

Question 8

To re-establish comm with ground crew after all connections have been removed?

Answer 8

Flash the NOSE GEAR light 3 times.

Question 9

Max N1 for taxi?

Answer 9

If more than IDLE is required, use 45% N1 MAX

Question 10

Max taxi speed?

Answer 10

• 25kts
  
  • 30kts on straightaway

Question 11

Normal taxi speed?

Answer 11

20kts

Question 12

Cold Wx Ops, nose gear steering?

Answer 12

Should be exercised in both directions during taxi to circulate warm HYD fluid through system and minimize steering lag.

Question 13

Cold WX Run Up

Conditions for requirement?

Target N1 and time?

Answer 13

• CONDITIONS
  
  • Below 3C OAT
  • ENG A/I Required
• TARGETS
  
  • 60% N1 for 30 seconds
  • Maintain 30 min max intervals

Question 14

SMCGS Ops RVR?

Answer 14

1200RVR

Airport must have plan that incorporates additional lighting, markings, and procedures.

Question 15

Exterior lights for crossing active runway?

Answer 15

ALL

Question 16

After landing engine cool down prior to single-engine taxi?

Answer 16

• 3 minutes at idle for GE
• 5 minutes at idle for PW

Question 17

MAP range for takeoff?

Answer 17

10 miles to verify runway then out to view ACTIVE WPT

Question 18

Engine Out Procedure MAP display?

Answer 18

Consider use of TERRAIN

Question 19

Danger of takeoff into strong headwinds with regards to autothrottles?

Answer 19

May arm THR HOLD before autothrottle can make final thrust adjustments.

Question 20

When does rudder become effective during takeoff roll?

Answer 20

Between 40 and 60 knots

Question 21

PM 80KTS CALL (what 3 things?)

Answer 21

• Airspeed Indicators Agree
• N1 THR SET
• THR HOLD Engaged

Question 22

Rotation rate? Use of FD for rotation?

Answer 22

• 2.5 degrees/second for approx 5 seconds
  
  • 15 degree pitch target
    
    • V2 + 15-25kts

FD Pitch Command is not used for rotation!

Do not follow commands until after liftoff as FD does not command appropriate rate or attitude!

Question 23

F/D Pitch Commands after liftoff?

Answer 23

Commands pitch to maintain an airspeed of V2 + 15 to 25 until another pitch mode is engaged.

Question 24

Turns after takeoff?

Answer 24

• VIA = 50’
• 2ENG = 400’
• 1ENG = 1000’

Question 25

NADP THR Mode Selection?

Answer 25

NADP1 = THR at 1500’

NADP2 = THR at 1000’

“VNAV + C A/P to CMD”

Question 26

Max Angle vs Max Rate?

Answer 26

FMC provides angle in KTS (VNAV CLB Page).

Add 50KTS to FL UP Maneuver for best rate.

Question 27

What is FMC MAX ALTITUDE?

Answer 27

LOWEST OF THE FOLLOWING:

• MAX CERTIFIED ALTITUDE
  
  • FL431
• THR LIMIT ALTITUDE
  
  • Altitude at which sufficient THR avail for climb
• BUFFET LIMIT ALTITUDE
  
  • Altitude at which specific margin exists prior to buffet onset. Provides 0.2G margin @ 33° bank.

Question 28

What is FMC OPT ALTITUDE?

Answer 28

• Provides MIN COST based on flight length + weight
• Provides 1.5g load factor (48° Bank)
• Increases as A/C weight decreases in ECON or LRC

2000’ above OPT ALTITUDE will normally allow approx 45° bank prior to buffet onset.

Question 29

Why do we use STEP SIZE 0 in FMC?

Answer 29

Allows for proper fuel and ETA predictions based on OFP.

Otherwise, FMC uses calculated step climbs which may exceed OFP planned altitudes.

Question 30

Holding speed below 10,000’

Answer 30

Min FLAPS UP speed will exceed 200kts.

Holding with Flaps 1 or 5 will be required.

Don’t break FAA Hold Limit Speed!

Question 31

How will FMC execute an EXIT HOLD when armed?

Answer 31

It will turn inbound to hold fix as soon as it can cross it wings level and proceed to next waypoint.

Question 32

Two green donuts on EICAS during descent?

Answer 32

Deceleration Points

• FIRST POINT
  
  • VNAV THR IDLE descent initiated
• SECOND POINT
  
  • 240KTS/10000’
