Q

Approach to Stall or Stall Recovery

A
  • Initiate the recovery:
  • Hold the control column firmly.
  • Disengage autopilot and disconnect autothrottle.
  • Smoothly apply nose down elevator to reduce the angle of attack until buffet or stick shaker stops. Nose down stabilizer trim may be needed.*
  • Continue the recovery:
  • Roll in the shortest direction to wings level if needed.** • Advance thrust levers as needed.
  • Retract the speedbrakes.
  • Do not change gear or flap configuration, except • During liftoff, if flaps are up, call for flaps 1.
  • Complete the recovery:
  • Check airspeed and adjust thrust as needed.
  • Establish pitch attitude.
  • Return to the desired flight path.
  • Re-engage the autopilot and autothrottle if desired.
2
Q

Rejected Takeoff - Captain

A

Without delay: Simultaneously close thrust levers, disconnect autothrottle, apply maximum manual wheel brakes or verify operation of RTO autobrake.
If RTO autobrake selected, monitor system performance and apply manual wheel brakes if AUTOBRAKES message displayed or deceleration not adequate.
Raise speedbrake lever.
Apply the maximum amount of reverse thrust on symmetric engines consistent with conditions.
Continue maximum braking until certain the airplane will stop on the runway.

3
Q

Rejected Takeoff - F/O

A

Verify Actions:

Thrust levers closed.
Autothrottle disconnected.
Maximum brakes applied.
Verify speedbrake lever UP and call “SPEEDBRAKES UP.”
If speedbrake lever not UP, call “SPEEDBRAKES NOT UP.”
Reverse thrust applied symmetrically.
When all REV indications are green, call “REVERSERS NORMAL.”
If there is no REV indication(s) or the indication(s) stays amber, call “NO REVERSER ENGINE(S) NUMBER ___” or “NO REVERSERS”.
Call out any omitted action items

Call 60 knots

Communicate reject decision to control tower and cabin as soon as practical.

4
Q

GPWS Caution

A

Correct flight path or airplane configuration.

Accomplish the following maneuver for any GPWS without “PULL UP”

5
Q

GPWS Warning

A

Disengage autopilot.
Disconnect autothrottle.
Aggressively apply maximum thrust.
Simultaneously roll wings level and rotate to an initial pitch attitude of 20°.
Retract speedbrakes.
If terrain remains a threat, continue rotation up to the pitch limit indicator or stick shaker or initial buffet.

Do not change gear or flap 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.

6
Q

Traffic Avoidance RA

A

If maneuvering is required, disengage autopilot and disconnect autothrottle.
Smoothly adjust pitch and thrust to satisfy the RA command.
Follow the planned lateral flight path unless visual contact with the conflicting traffic requires other action.

7
Q

RA in landing configuration

A

Disengage autopilot and disconnect autothrottle. Advance thrust levers forward to ensure maximum thrust is attained and call for FLAPS 20.
Smoothly adjust pitch to satisfy the RA command. Follow the planned lateral flight path unless visual contact with the conflicting traffic requires other action.

Verify a positive rate of climb on the altimeter and call “GEAR UP”.

8
Q

Nose High Recovery

A
  • Recognize and confirm the situation
  • Disengage autopilot and disconnect autothrottle
  • Apply as much as full nose-down elevator
  • *Apply appropriate nose-down stabilizer trim
  • Reduce thrust
  • *Roll (adjust bank angle) to obtain a nose down pitch rate
  • Complete the recovery:
  • When approaching the horizon, roll to wings level
  • Check airspeed and adjust thrust - Establish pitch attitude
9
Q

Nose Low Recovery

A
  • Recognize and confirm the situation
  • Disengage autopilot and disconnect autothrottle
  • Recover from stall, if required
  • *Roll in the shortest direction to wings level (unload and roll if bank angle is more than 90 degrees)
  • Recover to level flight: - Apply nose up elevator - *Apply nose-up trim, if required - Adjust thrust and drag as required
10
Q

Windshear Caution Predictive Windshear

A

For predictive windshear caution alert (“MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY” aural):
Maneuver as required to avoid windshear.

11
Q

Windshear Warning prior to V1

A

(“WINDSHEAR AHEAD, WINDSHEAR AHEAD” aural):

reject takeoff

12
Q

Windshear Warning after V1

A

perform Windshear Escape Maneuver.

13
Q

Windshear encountered during takeoff roll

A
  • if windshear encountered prior to V1, rotate at a normal rate toward a 15 degree pitch attitude. Once in flight, perform Windshear Escape Maneuver
  • if windshear encountered near normal rotation speed and airspeed suddenly decreases, If there is insufficient runway left to stop, initiate a normal rotation at least 2,000 feet before the end of the runway even if airspeed is low. Higher than normal attitudes may be required to lift off in the remaining runway. Ensure maximum thrust is set.
14
Q

Predictive windshear warning during approach

A

• perform Windshear Escape Maneuver, or at pilot’s

discretion, perform a normal go-around.

15
Q

What indications the airplane is in windshear?

A
  • windshear warning (two-tone siren followed by “WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR”), or
  • unacceptable flight path deviations.

Note: Unacceptable flight path deviations are recognized as uncontrolled changes from normal steady state flight conditions below 1,000 feet AGL, in excess of any of the following:
• 15 knots indicated airspeed
• 500 FPM vertical speed
• 5 degrees pitch attitude
• 1 dot displacement from the glideslope
• unusual thrust lever position for a significant period of time.

16
Q

Windshear Escape Maneuver

A
MANUAL FLIGHT: 
• Disengage autopilot. 
• Push either TO/GA switch. 
• Aggressively apply maximum* thrust. 
• Disconnect autothrottle. 
• Simultaneously roll wings level and rotate toward an initial pitch attitude of 15°. 
• Retract speedbrakes. 
• Follow flight director TO/GA guidance (if available)**.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT: 
• Press either TO/GA switch.*** 
• Verify TO/GA mode annunciation. 
• Verify GA thrust. 
• Retract speedbrakes. 
• Monitor system performance****.

MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC FLIGHT:
• Do not change gear or flap configuration until windshear is no longer a factor.
• Monitor vertical speed and altitude.
• Do not attempt to regain lost airspeed until windshear is no longer a factor.
