Question 1

Basic Operating Weight (BOW)

Answer 1

104,500lbs

Question 2

Maximum Zero Fuel Weight (MZFW)

Answer 2

136,000 lbs
*May be reduced w/ abnormal fuel distribution

Question 3

Maximum Landing Weight w/ 40 degree Flaps

Answer 3

142,500 lbs

Question 4

Maximum Landing Weight w/ 30 degree flaps

Answer 4

154,500 lbs

Question 5

Maximum Takeoff Weight (Brake Release)

Answer 5

172,700 lbs
* no matter what pressure altitude

Question 6

Maximum Ramp (Taxi) Weight

Answer 6

173,000 lbs

Question 7

Maximum Pressure Altitude

Answer 7

8,400 ft

Question 8

Minimum Pressure Altitude:

Answer 8

None; however if PA < -1,000 us performance data for -1,000

Question 9

If PA = -1,000 to 2,500 ft then …

Answer 9

-54 C / -65 F
49 C / 120 F

Question 10

If PA = 8,400 ft, then …

Answer 10

-54 C / -65F
38 C / 100F

Question 11

Cross wind limitations

Answer 11

29kts max = takeoff
29kts max = CAT I
10kts max = CAT II

Question 12

Max standing water, Slush (SLR), or Wet Snow (WSR):

Answer 12

Takeoff = 1/2 inch
Landing = 1 inch

Question 13

Maximum Dry Snow (usually OAT < - 1 C)

Answer 13

Takeoff = 4 inches
Landing = 6 Inches

Question 14

Fuel Requirements: Reserves

Answer 14

Domestic:
45 mins (normal cruise) = 6,800lbs

Flag:
30 min holding (1500’) = 5,800lbs
10% en route = 8300lbs / hr

Flag (no authorized alt.):
2 hrs @ normal cruise speed/fuel flow = 18,000’s (9000 lbs / hr)

Question 15

Fuel Requirements: Additional

Answer 15

Missed approach fuel = 1,200 lbs (dispatch without an alternate)

Taxi fuel (12 min average) at 50lbs/min = 600lbs

Question 16

Thrust Limitations

Answer 16

Takeoff Thrust (5 mins) = 14,000lbs
Max continuous Thrust = 12,600lbs
Max cruise thrust = 11,000lbs

Question 17

Fuel loading rules

Answer 17

1. Distribute fuel equally between all 3 tanks.
2. 1 or 3 shall not exceed quantity in tank 2 by more than 2000lbs
3. Fuel in tanks 1 and 3 must not differ by more than 1000lbs

Question 18

When operating at the maximum zero fuel weight…

Answer 18

The fuel weight in each tank must be essentially equal unless tanks 1 and 3 are full

Question 19

When operating at less than maximum zero fuel weight with 1 and 3 not full…

Answer 19

Fuel in tank 2 must not exceed the fuel weight in 1 or 3 by more than the difference between the Max ZFW and the actual ZFW for each flight
