When is the EICAS message cross-reference list used?
: It is used to confirm the appropriate MEL for the displayed EICAS message prior to block out, and it can be referred to make a decision to continue the flight or return to blocks when a message occurs after block out but prior to the beginning of the take-off
QRH OI – 2 (1)
What causes the APU to perform an automatic protective shutdown when the pack control selector switches are switched off quickly?
: When both pack control selectors are turned off quickly, high outlet bleed air is turned off very quickly, and bleed air in the duct can surge and reverse. Therefore turn off one pack, and when the corresponding pack off light illuminates, the other pack control selector may be turned off
INFO 321
Following an APU automatic protective shutdown, can the APU be immediately restarted?
The APU cannot start until the air inlet door is closed. The APU should be restarted after 30 seconds
INFO 321
If the APU performs an automatic protective shutdown during a pushback, what are some considerations?
The following should be considered:
- The APU cannot be restarted for approx. 30 seconds due to the inlet door closing
- The parking brake can still be set
- The interphone system is still powered
- The passenger address system is still powered
- Only the left VHF is powered
- The instrument panel floodlights, the standby magnetic compass light, integral lights for essential instruments on the left side and centre panel and overhead panels are automatically switched to the standby AC bus. The aisle stand light is also available. This will be the only lighting available, so the flight deck will be relatively dark

What are some indications of volcanic ash?
The following may indicate the presence of volcanic ash:
- Smoke or ash in the cockpit or cabin
- A smell similar to electrical smoke
- Multiple engine malfunctions such as stalls, increasing EGT, fluctuating parameters, torching from tailpipe etc.
- St. Elmo’s fire
- A bright orange glow in the engine inlets
- False cargo fire warnings
- Shadows cast by the landing lights
- Reduction in visibility, or reduction in landing light effectiveness at night
- EICAS messages FWD EQPT OVHT or FWD EQPT SMOKE may be displayed
4-3-7 (1)
What are some considerations after flying into volcanic ash?
The following need to be considered:
- Exit volcanic ash as quickly as possible, consider a 180 degree turn
- Conduct Volcanic Ash checklist
- Don oxygen and smoke goggles if required
- Turn on engine and wing anti-ice to increase bleed extraction to improve engine stall margin
- Turn off recirculation fans to increase bleed air extraction to improve engine stall margin
- Close both thrust levers to reduce EGT which will reduce or prevent the melting of ash and the molten solidification on the turbine nozzles
- Start the APU
- Avoid rough control of the thrust lever, because the engine blades may be corroded by volcanic ash leading to higher fuel flows and EGT
- If visibility is markedly reduced, consider a diversion to an airport where an autoland may be conducted
- Do not use wiper blades to remove ash
What ATC considerations exist following an ADC failure?
: RVSM airspace is FL290 to FL410. A pilot shall promptly inform ATC when one of the two altitude measuring systems is not working. After that, the Captain shall inform the flight dispatcher. For the B767, altitude data shall be displayed on both altimeters based on air data from 2 different air data sources
AIM-J 517 / OM 4-S-29
If you encountered windshear after V1 but prior to VR, when would you rotate the aircraft? How would you do this?
: If windshear is encountered near the normal rotation speed and airspeed suddenly decreases, there may not be sufficient runway left to accelerate back to normal take-off speed. IF THERE IS INSUFFICIENT RUNWAY TO STOP, initiate a normal rotation at least 2000ft before the end of the runway even if airspeed is low. ENSURE MAXIMUM THRUST IS SET. Higher than normal attitudes may be required to lift off in the remaining runway
QRH 2-3-1 (10)
How would you know that you are 2000ft from the end of the runway on take-off following windshear after V1 but before VR?
2000ft is 610m. On a runway greater than 2400m, the touchdown zone markings immediately prior to the aiming point markers are located 600 meters from the end of the runway. If you are on the aiming point markers then you are only 400m from the end of the runway, or 1300ft. If departing at night on a runway longer than 1800m, the runway edge lights will turn yellow at 600m, which is approx. 2000ft.
AIM-J 173
: When are the master cautions inhibited?
The master caution lights and aural beeper are inhibited for all cautions from 80kts to 400ft AGL or 20 seconds elapsed time from nose gear extension. So, if a master caution occurs at 100kts and the take-off is continued, the master caution lights and beeper do not activate, but the alert message will be displayed
6-15-20 (10)
: What is EICAS?
: EICAS consolidates engine and subsystem indications and provides a centrally located crew alerting message display. EICAS also displays status and maintenance information
What is the maximum speed for normal extension of the landing gear?

What is the turbulence penetration speed?
: 290kts / 0.78M, whichever is lower
4-3-4 (1)
What is the maximum speed for retraction of the landing gear?
270kts (there is no Mach number for obvious reasons
When will the G/A mode disengage during landing?
the airplane is floating within 5ft RA for more than 2 seconds when the GA switch is pushed, the autopilot pitch mode remains in FLARE and the autothrottle go-around mode will engage. If the airplane is on the ground but has been below 5ft RA for less than 2 seconds when the GA switch is pushed, the GA pitch mode will engage but the A/T mode will remain IDLE. This is because the autothrottle G/A mode remains armed only until touchdown
6-4-20 (18)
What percentage of maximum rated thrust is available when selecting take-off 1 or take-off 2?
Take-off 1 is approx. 95% of maximum rated thrust and take-off 2 approx. 85% of maximum rated take-off thrust. These values are for the -300, and the -300ER and Freighter have a further 5% reduction
6-7-20 (5)
What is the GPWS escape manoeuver?
: On activation of the “PULL UP”, or “TERRAIN TERRAIN PULL UP”, or “OBSTACLE OBSTACLE PULL UP” warning, accomplish the following procedure:
- Disengage autopilot
- Disconnect autothrottle
- Aggressively apply maximum thrust
- Simultaneously roll wings level and rotate to an initial pitch attitude to 20 degree
- Set the speedbrake lever to down
- If terrain remains a threat, continue rotation up to pitch limit (if available), stick shaker or initial buffet
- Do not change flap or gear configuration until terrain separation is assured
- Monitor radio altimeter for sustained or increasing terrain separation
- When clear of terrain, slowly decrease pitch attitude and accelerate
2-3-1 (6)
: What is the TCAS traffic avoidance procedure in the landing configuration?
: For a CLIMB RA in a landing configuration, accomplish the following procedure:
- Autopilot disengage
- Autothrottle disconnect
- Thrust levers full forward
- Call flaps 20
- Smoothly adjust pitch to satisfy the RA command
- Verify a positive rate of climb on the altimeter and call gear up
2-3-1 (7)
Can the TCAS traffic avoidance manoeuver ever be accomplish with the autopilot?
No. When manoeuvring is required, the autopilot must be switched off and the manoeuvre accomplished manually
2-3-1 (7)
: What is the maximum allowable fuel load?
The maximum fuel load is as follows:
- Left and right main tanks: 42,671lbs - Centre tank (-300ER / F): 84,490lbs
: When is monitoring of the emergency frequency 121.500MHz required?
: Aircraft should guard 121.500MHz except for an “unavoidable situation”. This may be due to:
- Aircraft are carrying out communications on the other VHF channel
- Cockpit duties do not permit simultaneous guarding of two channels
- Airborne equipment limitations do not permit simultaneous guarding of two channels
OM 2-S-29
What items are required to be taken off the aircraft in an evacuation?
Even though crewmembers have to take out emergency articles, they are not absolutely obliged to do so, no matter how tense the situation. Instead they should concentrate their total efforts towards saving lives. The crew take the following items:
- Captain: Crash axe, megaphone, flash light
- Co-pilot: Signal kit, flash light
- The Chief Purser and cabin attendant at R2 will take the ELT’s
QRH 2-4 (6)
: What non-normal event requires the longest landing distance?
The All AC buses off non-normal checklist will require the longest landing distance. On a dry runway at 280,000lbs it is 7400ft. On a wet runway it is 10800ft, which is around 3000m. On a snow or slush covered runway is can be over 3500m, depending on runway condition. This is because both engine reversers may be inoperative, half the spoilers are inoperative, outboard wheel antiskid is inoperative, and auto speedbrake is inoperative

OM 10-1
: When are master warnings inhibited?
The master warning lights and fire bell are inhibited FOR FIRE during part of the take-off. The inhibit period begins at nose gear extension during rotation and continues to the first of 400ft AGL or 20 seconds elapsed time. If a fire occurs during the inhibit, an EICAS warning message appears, but the fire bell and master warning lights do not activate. If the fire still exists at the end of the inhibit period, the fire bell and master warning lights activate immediately
