Volume 1 Flashcards
(757) Maximum Operating Altitude
42,000 feet pressure altitude
(767-300) Maximum Operating Altitude
43,000 feet pressure altitude
Maximum Takeoff and Landing Tailwind Component
10 knots, or as permitted by Delta Special Pages (Green Pages)
Runway Slope
+ / - 2%
Turbulent air penetration speed
290 KIAS / .78 Mach, whichever is lower
The Delta 757 / 767-300 crosswind limit for takeoff and landing
40 knots (including gusts)
After takeoff, the autopilot must not be engaged below:
200 feet AGL
Use of which secondary flight control is prohibited with the autopilot engaged?
Aileron trim
Maximum allowable Headwind when landing weather minima are predicated on autoland operations (e.g. CAT II autoland, CAT III)
25 knots
Maximum allowable Crosswind when landing weather minima are predicated on autoland operations (e.g. CAT II autoland, CAT III)
25 knots*
Note: The Boeing AFM low visibility autoland crosswind limitation is 25 knots. To both initiate and land, Delta Ops Specs further restricts CAT II and CAT III low visibility operations to a 15 knot crosswind limit. For CAT I or higher visibility, the autoland crosswind limit is 40 knots.
Maximum allowable Tailwind when landing weather minima are predicated on autoland operations (e.g. CAT II autoland, CAT III)
10 knots
Autoland ground speed limit
165 knots
Autoland flap configuration limitation
Autoland authorized for flaps 25 or 30 landing only
When must Continuous Ignition be selected on? (engine start selector in the CONT position)
While operating in severe turbulence
What two conditions provide Continuous Ignition automatically?
- ) Flap lever out of the “UP” position
2. ) In icing conditions when engine anti-ice is on
(757) EGT limit during engine start
485°C - 545°C (if start EGT surpasses 485°C, but does not exceed 545°C, engine shutdown is not required. Make a logbook entry and contact MCC)
(757) Continuous EGT limit
615°C
(757) Takeoff EGT limit - 5 minutes (some ship #s allow for 10 minutes)
645°C
Which thrust control mode is not permitted for takeoff on the 757?
N2 control mode (ENG LIM PROT light illuminated)
Engine Starter Duty Cycle
Continuous for 5 minutes. Cool for 30 seconds per minute of operation
APU Starter Duty Cycle
Maximum of 3 consecutive starts or attempts within a 60 minute period
APU bleed air limitation (in flight)
APU bleed air is available up to approximately 17,000 feet
Maximum altitude for flap extension

Maximum allowable in-flight difference between Captain and First Officer altitude displays for RVSM operation
200 feet
Maximum allowable on-the-ground differences between Captain and First Officer altitude displays for RVSM operation (multiple)
25-50 feet. The limit varies depending upon pressure altitude and whether you’re in a 757 or 767. See chart on page L.10.9
Maximum allowable difference between Captain or First Officer altitude displays and field elevation
75 feet
