46
What must you have to be able to perform an Autoland?
1) LAND 2 or LAND 3 2) One engine Inoperative or Both Engines 3) F20, 25, 30
47
Glideslope angles for Autoland?
2.5 degrees to 3.25 degrees
48
Max outside temperature for dual engine start?
40C
49
Minimum temperature at which you can start engines?
-40C
50
Engine warm up time?
3 minutes 5 minutes if greater than 6 hr turnaround
51
Reverse Thrust limitations?
1) No reversing airplane on ground 2) Intentional selection of reverse thrust in flight is prohibited
52
What distance is minimum needed to operate engine near unsealed buildings?
15m
53
What distance must engine be from exposed public area, aircraft or refueling?
LOW THRUST - 30M BREAKAWAY THRUST - 46M Note - 787 Distance from engine to rear of aircraft is 37M, only need to worry about breakaway thrust as wont be near enough to areas, aircraft or refuelling without tail hitting for the low thrust limit.
54
Max thrust on the ground for crosswind exceeding 40kts?
45% N1
55
Max thrust on ground for crosswind exceeding 55kts?
Idle Thrust
56
What could result in structual failure at any speed?
Large alternating control movements especially with combination of changes in pitch roll or yaw. This may result in failure even below VA. VA - Design maneuverer speed at which full deflection of controls is structurally sounds.
57
What flight control mode is the only one approved for take off?
NORMAL flight control mode.
58

60
Minimum fuel temperature at takeoff?
-29 C
61
Minimum fuel temperature in flight?
1) At least - 42C 2) 3 C Above fuel freezing temp Note - [ ] FUEL TEMP LOW when within 3C limit
62
What must occur before center tank fuel is loaded?
Main tanks must be full. - Unless, the center tank fuel is < 10T and the center tank fuel and ZFW doesnt exceed the MZFW and its within COG.

All main doors to be armed, with windows clear prior to taxi, takeoff and landing whenever carrying passengers.
67
How often must flight deck door access system be checked?
Once per each flight day.
68
Weather Radar precautions?
1) Avoid operation in hangar 2) Avoid operation when personnel within radome area 3) Within 15m of fuelling operations
69
Can you use GPWS for an airport not in database?
GPWS must not be used within 15nm of an airport not in database.
70
Can you use GPWS for navigation?
No. Dont use terrain display for navigation.
71
Can you deviate for TA traffic on your display alone?
Dont deviate for TA traffic without both sighting and confirming traffic visually.
72
What ILS Type must low vis HUD takeoff be used on only?
US Type II and Type III Facilities.
73
Can you use the airport map to navigate on ground?
Airport map should only be used as an aid for flight crew awareness. Use charts.
74
What speed is the maximum for turning the rudder pedal crank?
1 turn per second.
75
Can you pressurise hydraulics without nose gear locked out?
No. If a towbar is connected, pressurising without having the steering locked out could injure ground personnel.

1000kg
77
After final load sheet recalculate OPT for....
1) Runway Change 2) Over TOW used in OPT 3) Foward of MAC used in OPT 4) Full or Fixed Derate - ANY changes in environmental conditions 5) ATM method - Any increase in tailwind - Less than 4kts bellow headwind used (4kt buffer) - OAT increased by more than 1 degree (1 degree buffer) - QNH Reduces by more than 1 hPa (1 hPa buffer) - 0.03Hg
78
OPT VRef 30 check, plus or minus how many knots
+ or - 2 kts Increase this tolerance by 1 kt for every 4000ft airport elevation.
79
Last Minute Change rules, how heavy is a standard Pax weight?
100kg
80
Last Minute Change rules, are traffic changes cumulative?
Yes. 1 person removed from one area and added to another is a total of 200kg.
81
