Q

What are three considerations as you touchdown and prepare for braking with the ANTISKID INOP?

A
  1. Do not apply the brakes until the nose wheel is on the ground and the speedbrakes have been manually deployed.
  2. Use minimum braking consistent with runway length and conditions.
  3. Brake initially using light steady pedal pressure. Increase pressure as ground speed decreases and don’t pump the brakes.

Q

What additional action does the PWB require when it detects a Non-normal Landing condition is selected?

A

The PWB system requires the Brake Cooling Module to be accessed and reviewed.

26
Q

Are there any other conditions which require use of the PWB Brake Cooling Module?

A

Yes, any time a rejected takeoff (RTO) is performed or the MQTW is exceeded.

27
Q

What does SPEED BRAKE DO NOT ARM light indicate?

A

An automatic speedbrake fault has occurred.

28
Q

During descent you observe th SPEED BRAKE DO NOT ARM light.

Can you use your speedbrakes in flight?

A

Yes

29
Q

During descent you observe th SPEED BRAKE DO NOT ARM light.

Does this affect your landing performance?

A

Yes, select PWB NON NORMAL.

30
Q

During descent you observe th SPEED BRAKE DO NOT ARM light.

How does this affect your landing procedures?

A

 Do not arm the speedbrake for landing

 Manually deploy the speedbrakes upon landing

31
Q

When flaps are retracted in the -700, what does the SPEED BRAKE DO NOT ARM indicate?

A

An abnormal condition or test input to the speed brake load alleviation system.

32
Q

Are there any airspeed limits with the SPEED BRAKE DO NOT ARM light in the -700?

A

Limit airspeed to 320 knots maximum.

33
Q

Are there any other functions the spoilers perform on the MAX?

A

Yes, the speedbrakes are central to the operation of the:

  • Maneuver Load Alleviation System (MLA),
  • Landing Attitude Modifier System (LAM), and
  • Emergency Descent Speedbrake System (EDS).
34
Q

What is the purpose of the Maneuvers Load Alleviation system (MLA)?

A

The MLA’s function is the same as on the -700s, it reduces wing and aft fuselage bending loads during certain maneuvers and normal load factors.

35
Q

What is the purpose of the Landing Attitude Modifier (LAM)?

A

 With flaps at 15 through 30 and thrust levers near idle, the LAM deploys the spoilers to generate additional drag.

 With flaps in their 30 or 40 position, the spoilers deploy symmetrically on approach to reduce lift and increase the AOA, maintaining an acceptable nose gear contact margin.

36
Q

What is the purpose of the Emergency Decent Speedbrakes (EDS)?

A

The EDS is armed when the aircraft is above 30,000 ft and the cabin altitude warning is active. It deploys the speedbrakes to a higher than normal position when the speedbrake lever is in the flight detent to minimize time at altitude during an emergency descent.

37
Q

What system failures cause a condition where the landing gear lever will not move up after takeoff?

A

 Landing gear lever lock solenoid

 Air/ground system

 Failure of the ground spoiler interlock valve to close (NG Only)

38
Q

Of the three malfunctions, which one directs the use the override trigger (NG) or the override switch (MAX) to retract the gear?

A

The landing gear lever lock solenoid failure.

39
Q

Are LNAV and VNAV available upon departure if the air/ground sensor has failed?

A

No. Without input from the air/ground safety sensor, the FMC remains “on the ground”.

Note: LNAV does not track the departure; you have to use ground based navaids and anticipate returning to the departure airport.

40
Q

How does the autopilot function with the failed air/ground safety sensor?

A

With the exception of the LNAV and VNAV functions, the autopilot functions normally.

41
Q

When is use of the HGS required for landing?

A
  1. Visibility below 1⁄2 mile or 1800 RVR
  2. “SOUTHWEST HGS ONLY” is published on the approach plate.
42
Q

What approach types require the use of the AIII Mode?

A
  1. CAT II approaches to TDZ 1000 RVR or SA/Reduced Lighting CAT II approaches
  2. CAT III approaches
  3. Any other low visibility or SA approach with the annotation “use of HUD in AIII Mode to touchdown”.
43
Q

What does the ALIGN HUD message on the combiner indicate?

A

The combiner position is out of tolerance.

44
Q

Is a new Captain, with less than 100 hours as a Southwest Airlines PIC, legal to fly this approach?

A

Yes, the minimum of 100 hours Southwest Airlines PIC requirement only applies when flying an approach requiring AIII mode to touchdown.

45
Q

Although the AIII mode is not required, can you choose to use it on this approach?

A

No, this particular chart specifies “HGS IMC and PRI MODE ONLY”.

46
Q

When using AIII Mode, what cautions on the HGS Annunciator Panel (HAP) possible?

A

 “NO AIII” if there was a loss of AIII capability above 500 feet AGL

 “APCH WARN” if an AIII capability fault occurs or the HGS approach monitor detects an out of tolerance approach

47
Q

What is the FO callout if the APCH WARN or HGS FAIL light illuminates?

A

“Approach Warning, Go Around” or “HGS Fail, Go Around.”

48
Q

What are FO responsibilities during an HGS approach?

A

 Make the required call outs

 Continue monitoring the instruments until either slowed to taxi speed after landing or 500 ft AGL on a go-around/missed approach

49
Q

Anytime the AIII mode is used on an approach and you receive an APCH WARN, what must you see to continue the approach while using the callout “Landing”?

A

The actual runway must be in sight. If not, an APCH WARN should result in a missed approach. Part of the runway environment such as the lead-in or approach lights is not acceptable.

50
Q

Is “LOOK SEE Criteria” applicable to CAT III approaches?

A

No

51
Q

What is the minimum altitude AIII mode can be manually selected?

A

AIII mode can only be selected above 500 ft AGL.

52
Q

When must myMobile 365 be updated prior to the start of an active pairing?

A

In order to be compliant, the last sync must always be within 24 hours prior to the start of an active pairing.

53
Q

When are Jeppesen updates required?

A

 Jeppesen updates are only required prior to the start of a pairing

 Any update flags displayed while on a current trip are considered legal to fly

54
Q

Is there a limitation to the use of WiFi on the Flight Deck?

A

 The WiFi is limited to approved EFB devices and applications. (e.g. WSI Pilotbrief Optima)

 Access WiFi network 2Wire43612

55
Q

Is the QRH located on the EFB approved for use during a non-normal event?

A

No, the printed QRH found on the flight deck remains the primary source of information for non-normal procedures.

56
Q

Can the WSI Optima Weather App be used as a sole reference for weather?

A

The WSI Pilot brief Optima is a supplemental source for weather information.

Note: The weather packet remains the primary reference document for flight operations.

57
Q

How do you obtain a loaner EFB if needed?

A

Follow the procedures detailed in EFB Loaner Procedure.

58
Q

Is a Flight Attendant required to notify the Captain if they are missing their IEFB after reporting for duty?

A

Yes. The Flight Attendant should notify the Captain or a Base Leader and obtain a replacement IEFB or a printed Flight Attendant Manual prior to the start of their duty period.

Note: Boarding cannot begin until the Flight Attendant has the replacement IEFB or the paper manual in hand.
