What do you do when you select flaps 30 with thrust?

Answer 24

reduce 3% N1.

Question 25

What is your configuration on downwind?

Answer 25

Flaps 10, thrust 67% N1, 8deg pitch, 2nm parallel from landing RWY?

Question 26

Why do you aim for 2 NM from the RWY?

Answer 28

Start reducing thrust at 300ft below TPA (1500AAL)

Question 29

What should you be aware of turning downwind?

Answer 29

You will most likely still be turning reaching TPA.

Answer 30

8deg UP.

Power setting downwind?

Answer 31

67%

Question 32

When do you accelerate to flaps 10 speed during climb.?

Answer 32

at 1000AAL on crosswind.

Question 33

How do you adjust downwind for strong headwind on final

Answer 33

reduce time by approximately 1 second for ever 1 kts headwind on final.

Question 34

What altitude should you have 3nm prior to threshold?

Answer 34

900-1000ft.

Question 35

Why do you only descend 500fpm on base?

Answer 35

Descending 7-800ft on base will make you low on final?

Answer 36

500ft and at V2- V2+25kts.

Question 37

What is the main thing to think about on downwind? 4 items.

Answer 37

- 2nm from RWY - correct speed - altitude - configuration

Question 38

Whats the goal of this way of flying the traffic pattern?

Answer 38

Minimise thrust changes and fly the approach smooth

When do you do landing checklist?

Answer 39

On final

Question 40

When do you need to be wings level?

Answer 40

500ft AAL

Question 41

Are you stabilised at 1000ft if you're still turning final?

Answer 41

YES, you are on the correct PATH. (stabilised criteria)

Question 42

Were did I find pitch 8deg and power 67% from, to use on downwind?

Answer 42

Unreliable airspeed in flight interpolation from several weights.

Question 43

Do you select landing flaps on final or base?

Answer 43

When you see the RWY and you can tell you visually or by the PAPI you are on path.

Question 44

How long final should you have to be stabilised on final?

Answer 44

Ideally 2nm which is 600ft final. Since criteria is before 500ft wings level. Wings
