Question 10

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT TAKEOFF PROFILE (TAKEOFF) FMA

Answer 10

Pushing TO/GA = N1 / BLANK / TOGA
@ 84KTS            = THR HLD / BLANK / TOGA
Above 400ft RA= THR HLD/ LNAV / TOGA
Above 800ft RA= ARM (W) / LNAV / TOGA
Thrust reduction= N1 / LNAV / TOGA
AP ENGAGE       = N1 / LNAV / MCP SPD

Question 11

SINGLE CHANNEL GO AROUND PROFILE FMA

Answer 11

PUSH TO/GA = GA / LNAV (W) / TOGA
above 400 ra = GA / LNAV / TOGA
Accel height = GA/ LNAV / TOGA
-retract flaps on scheudle
up approaching missed approach alt
= MCP SPD / LNAV / ALT HOLD
Missed app alt= MCP SPD / LNAV / ALT HOLD
