Takeoff

Question 1

Why is a static takeoff with a crosswind of 25 kts or greater not recommmended?

Answer 1

Possible compressor stall

Question 2

On takeoff, what would cause a ENG TLA NOT TOGA EICAS message?

Answer 2

Anytime thrust levers are not TO/GA position

Question 3

If the autothrottle is armed, at what TLA will it takeover and advance the thrust levers to the TO/GA position?

Answer 3

50 deg.TLA

Question 4

When HOLD mode is activated what position should the thrust levers be in prior to reaching 60KIAS?

Answer 4

TO/GA

Question 5

When will flex thrust takeoffs be utilized?

Answer 5

All takeoffs unless performance or other factor dictate otherwise

Question 6

When are flex thrust takeoffs not authorized?

Answer 6

Special departures that prohibit reduced thrust, forcast wind shear, Contaminated runways

Question 7

If REF ATTCS was set to ON in the takeoff data settings what four events will automatically cause the ATTCS to command max thrust?

Answer 7

Differential N1 values 15% or greater between engines, OEI, associated thrust lever moved to MAX detent, windshear detected

Question 8

If LNAV was armed on the ground (during the CA W&B/PERF tasks) when will it automatically engage after takeoff?

Answer 8

200ft AGL

Question 9

What speed should be maintained from 1,000AFE/Flap Retraction Altitude to 2,500ft AFE?

Answer 9

200KIAS then normal climb profile/speeds, unless operating in Class B airspace, then maintain 250KIAS or assigned

Question 10

What guides flap retraction?

Answer 10

F-BUG

Question 11

What should be done if the F-BUG disappears before flap retraction is complete?

Answer 11

Follow the green Dot +10 kts

Question 12

During the after takeoff sequence, what should the PM do with/after each flap retraction?

Answer 12

airspeed bug must match VFS. If it doesn’t, PM adjusts bug to match VFS or flap limit speed, whichever is less.

Question 13

When operating on contaminated runways what should the CA/PF ensure before takeoff thrust is applied?

Answer 13

Ensure runway alignment

Question 14

What must be done just prior to setting takeoff thrust when performing a takeoff in icing conditions?

Answer 14

N1 shall be set to 54% for 30 seconds or until fan vibration returns to normal, just before takeoff power

Question 15

What is the main cause of runway overrun during a rejected takeoff?

Answer 15

RTO performed above V1

Question 16

Whose responsibility is it identify a possible RTO event or malfunction?

Answer 16

Whomever first notices an RTO worthy condition

Question 17

Whose responsibility is it to actually perform the RTO?

Answer 17

The captain

Question 18

If an RTO is performed below 60kts (before HOLD is displayed) and the autothrottle is not disconnected, what will happen?

Answer 18

If thrust levels have moved beyond 40 degrees TLA, autothrottle will move thrust levers back to TO/GA, if thrust levers are below 40 deg. TLA the AT will disconnect

Question 19

Once the RTO decision is made, what is the first course of action?

Answer 19

Thrust levers, idle, ensure autobrake activation or maximum manual braking, reverse thrust as required

Question 20

If an RTO is performed on a contaminated runway, how is maximum deceleration achieved?

Answer 20

Maximum reverse thrust and maximum braking

Question 21

During an RTO is performed on a contaminated runway, if directional control problems develop, what steps should be followed to regain directional control?

Answer 21

Return reverse thrust to idle, and possibly forward thrust, regain centerline with nose wheel/rudder and/or differential braking

Question 22

On a slick runway, during a RTO, directional control problems could develop or may be compounded by excessive anti-skid cycling, what should be done to correct this?

Answer 22

Reduce brake pressure

Question 23

Tail strikes most often occur during what phase of flight?

Answer 23

Landing

Question 24

On takeoff, what are the three primary causes for a tail strike?

Answer 24

improper stabilizer trim, rotation speed, rotation rate
