A

The pilot flying (PF), but either crewmember can complete it. In any case, both the PF and PM must confirm the FMS preflight entries.

A

When pushback clearance has been received.

39

A

20%

40
Q

When is the FUEL CONTROL switch positioned to RUN during an engine start?

A

When N2 is at 25%.

Note: if 25% N2 is not possible at maximum motoring, attempt the start at a minimum of 18% N2 (757) / 15% N2 (767).

41
Q

During single-engine taxi, with engine anti-ice required, what specific pack / bleed configuration is required?

A

Operate only one pack.

42
Q

How can center tank UFI lockout be prevented during engine shutdown. (e.g. extended ground delay on taxi out)

A

Center fuel pumps must be turned off prior to engine shutdown.

43
Q

How many minutes should the engines be operating before applying takeoff thrust?

A

Minimum of 5 minutes (do not delay takeoff after 3 minute warm-up period)

44
Q

What is the recommended engine cool down time frame before shutdown?

A

3 minutes, but shutdown may be accomplished earlier for gate arrival.

45
Q

What weather minimums dictate that the Autopilot and Flight Director (if available) will be utilized for all ILS approaches?

A

When the reported weather is below 4,000 feet RVR or 3/4 mile visibility.

46
Q

When must the missed approach altitude be set by on a precision approach?

A

No later than 1,000 feet AFE.

47
Q

What weather conditions require Autopilot use for non-precision approaches?

A

IMC.

48
Q

When must the Autopilot be disengaged on a non-precision approach?

A

No later than 50 feet below DA.

49
Q

How early may V/S be selected prior to a descent point on a non-precision or circling approach? (no VNAV avail)

A

0.2 nm.

50
Q

Would an escape slide deploy if the gate agent were to open the entry door prior to it being disarmed?

A

No, escape slide and powered door opening is disarmed automatically when the door is opened from outside.

51
Q

How often must an Autoland be performed for an aircraft to remain certified?

A

Every 30 days.

52
Q

If differences exist between the Takeoff Data Uplink (TDU) and WDR (Weight Data Record), which is controlling?

A

WDR.

53
Q

Define icing conditions.

A

OAT (on the ground) or TAT (in flight) is 10°C or below and any of the following exist: visible moisture is present, or ice, snow, slush or standing water is present on the ramps, taxiways, or runways.

54
Q

Define visible moisture.

A

Clouds, fog with visibility of one statute mile (1600m) or less, rain, snow, sleet, ice crystals, etc.

55
Q

When is an engine run up recommended to minimize ice buildup during taxi?

A

When engine anti-ice is required and the OAT is 3°C or below.

56
Q

What is the engine run up procedure during taxi in icing conditions?

A

Run the engines up to a minimum of 50% N1 for approximately 1 second duration at intervals no greater than 15 minutes. (60% N1 for 30 seconds in 767-300s with GE engines)

57
Q

When engine anti-ice is required and the OAT is 3°C or below, which type of takeoff is required?

A

Standing takeoff - hold the brakes in position until engines are stabilized at or above 60% N1 before the start of the takeoff roll.

58
Q

When is engine anti-ice required in flight?

A

Engine anti-ice must be AUTO or ON during all flight operations when icing conditions exist or are anticipated, except during climb and cruise when the temp is below -40°C SAT. Engine anti-ice must be AUTO or ON before, and during descent in all icing conditions, including temps below -40°C SAT.

59
Q

What is the fan ice removal procedure during flight in moderate to severe icing conditions for prolonged periods with N1 settings at or below 70%, or if fan icing is suspected due to high engine vibration?

A

Increase thrust on one engine at a time to a minimum of 70% N1 for 10 to 30 seconds every 10 minutes.

60
Q

If ice accumulation is suspected to remain after landing, do not retract the flaps to less than ___ until the flap areas have been checked to be free of contaminants.

A

Flaps 20

61
Q

Maximum depth of runway contaminant (standing water, slush, or wet snow) for takeoff.

A

½ inch (1.2cm)

62
Q

Maximum depth of dry snow on runway for takeoff.

A

4 inches (10cm)

63
Q

Maximum depth of runway contaminant (standing water, slush, or wet snow) for landing.

A

1 inch (2.5cm)

64
Q

Maximum depth of dry snow on runway for landing.

A

4 inches (10cm)

65
Q

For performance purposes, when is a wet runway not wet?

A

If the runway is grooved or has a porous friction overlay in the last 2/3s of the stopping area.

Note: the 757-300 is the exception and cannot benefit from this logic, AWABS will automatically default to “wet” performance numbers when the runway is reported wet.

66
Q

True or False: During hot weather operations, use of RECIRC FAN(s) is recommended.

A

False. Turning on the RECIRC FAN(s) has a negative effect on passenger comfort. This introduces hot ambient air from around the cargo compartments to the mix manifold.

67
Q

What precipitation type(s) and intensities require the Engine Start selectors to be turned to CONT?

A

Moderate to heavy rain, hail, or sleet.

68
Q

How much additional airspeed should be added to the flaps up maneuvering speed on the 757-300 if wing anti-ice is selected on in flight?

A

Up to 5 knots may be added to flaps up maneuvering speed. This additive ensures full maneuver margin (40° bank capability).
