During flight planning, the pilot enters a holding pattern into the FMC flight plan for approach to an airport.
Upon arrival at the holding fix with LNAV engaged, the FMC will command an entry to the holding pattern based on the:
Actual aircraft Track, at the fix
In an aircraft EFIS with three symbol generators (SGs), the failure of the captain’s symbol generator would require:
The captain to manually switch to the standby SG
During the ‘ROLLOUT’ submode of an autoland, the IDLE mode of the autothrottle will be:
Disengaged when selecting reverse thrust
Conditional waypoints are entered into the FMC via the:
Arrivals or departures pages
Subsonic flow through a divergent duct will experience:
Constant density, an increase in pressure and a decrease in velocity
Supersonic flow through a divergent duct will experience
A decrease in density and pressure and increasing velocity
Pressing the CANCEL switch on the EICAS control panel will:

On an aircraft equipped with both outboard and inboard ailerons, the inboard ailerons operate:
At all times
A benefit of a Split Bus type aircraft electrical system is:
There is a reduced requirement for frequency matching
When climbing at a constant Mach number, TAS will:
Decrease in the troposphere then remain constant in the isothermal layer above the tropopause
The reference for the heading display on the EFIS MAP and FMC is:
Either true or magnetic as selected by the pilot or determined by latitude
On an aircraft with a conventional flight instrument panel with two compass systems, the Captain’s HSI displays a HDG flag.
In this situation another expected indication would be:
A HDG flag on the First Officer’s RMI
The first indication of a successful light-off (light-up) in a gas turbine engine is:
Increasing EGT
If a reduced thrust take-off is programmed into a flight management computer using the assumed temperature method.
Regarding thrust output in the event of an engine failure after V1
The reduced thrust output from the remaining engine/s will be sufficient to provide the required climb gradients for obstacle clearance without needing to increase thrust output
On a conventional ASI/Mach Meter the Mach readout is covered by a red flag indicating loss of altitude sensing.
This means that the Mach display is unreliable and:
The VMO pointer is also probably unreliable
An autopilot ‘hardover’ means:
Full servomotor deflection
In a normal operation of an aircraft electrical system with a bus tie, the generators are operated:
In parallel
When the residual voltage of a large AC generator decreases to zero and no battery power is available:
It can be re-started if it is a PMG (permanent magnet generator)
The combustion chamber design which is most cost effective and efficient is the:
Annular design
The percentage of the mass airflow through a gas turbine entering the combustion chamber through the swirl vane is approximately
12%
When the “THROTTLE HOLD” (THR HLD) mode of the auto-throttle is active and
enunciated on the auto-throttle flight mode enunciator on the EADI:
The auto-throttle is de-energised and can be repositioned
