Cease on load at 319,000 lb
Terminate quick above 320klb

Question 2

RNP or RNAV APP
Missed approach criteria

Answer 2

Warning Flag/annunciation of failure degrading RNP capability

Downgrade of LOS inside the FAF

2D app: outside 75ft of path under 1000agl and not visual

3D app; outside 1/2 FSD lateral or vertical

Question 3

Gusty winds in take off

Answer 3

Run DAPA without gust, note Vrot.
Run DAPA with gusts and leave in for the bugs.
Set Vrot mannually to no gust + 1kt per kt over 10kt gust.
