Q

TAXI
Turns of 90 degrees or more procedure.

REF: FCTM

A
  • Initiate the turn as the intersecting taxiway centerline (or intended exit point) approaches the aft edge of the number 2 window.
  • Initially use approximately full nose wheel steering tiller displacement. -
    Adjust the tiller input as the airplane turns to keep the nose wheels outside of the taxiway centerline, near the outside radius of the turn.
  • Nearing turn completion, when the main gear are clear of the inside radius, gradually release the tiller input as the airplane lines up with the intersecting taxiway centerline or intended taxi path.

A
  • Main gear tires are close to the runway edge.
  • Stop the airplane completely with the thrust at idle.
  • Hold the tiller to the maximum steering angle
  • Release the brakes
  • Add thrust on the outboard engine.
  • Maintain 5 to 10 knots.
  • As the airplane passes through 90° of turn, steer to place the main gear approximately on the runway centerline, then gradually reduce the tiller input as required to align the airplane with the new direction of taxi.

TAXI
180 Degree (Pivot) Turns in Less than 147.6 feet / 45 m is applied when

REF: FCTM

A
  • tug is not available

  • Stopping before turn is required
  • Apply full braking pressure to the main gear on the side toward the inside of the turn. The braked landing gear truck must be locked until the nose wheels clear the far edge of the pavement.

24
Q

TAXI
Width of pivot 180 deg turn

REF: FCTM

A
  • 300 - 43.6m

- 300ER - 43.7m

25
Q

TAKE OFF
For takeoffs, when conditions permit, which flap setting is preferable

REF: FCTM

A

Consider using larger flap settings to provide shorter takeoff distance.
The minimum tail clearance remains constant for all takeoff flap settings.

26
Q

TAKE OFF
The FCOM and FMC computed takeoff speeds do not consider:

REF: FCTM

A
  • runway length available
  • minimum engine-out climb gradient capability
  • obstacle clearance requirement.
27
Q

TAKE OFF
FCOM and FMC computed takeoff speeds are not valid for dispatch performance based on:

REF: FCTM

A
  • runway length available, minimum engine-out climb gradient capability, or obstacle clearance requirement NOT VERIFIED SEPARATELY BY RW ANALYSIS OR OTHER SOURCES
  • optimized V1 (unbalanced field length)
  • Improved Climb,
  • alternate forward CG limit
  • contaminated or slippery runway.
28
Q

TAKE OFF
Which take off type for setting takeoff thrust is recommended

REF: FCTM

A

A rolling takeoff is recommended.
It expedites the takeoff and reduces the risk of foreign object damage or engine surge/stall due to a tailwind or crosswind.

29
Q

TAKE OFF
Rolling take off procedure.

REF: FCTM

A

If cleared for T/O before or while entering the RW:
- maintain normal taxi speed.
- when the airplane is aligned with the runway centerline
- ensure the nose wheel steering tiller is released
If holding on the runway:
- release brakes
For all:
- add light forward column pressure
- apply takeoff thrust by advancing the thrust levers to approximately
1.05 EPR or 55% N1
- Allow the engines to stabilize
- advance the thrust levers to takeoff thrust (TO/GA).
- Use rudder to maintain runway center line.

30
Q

TAKE OFF
Standing take off procedure.

REF: FCTM

A
  • holding the brakes until the engines are stabilized
  • ensure the nose wheel steering tiller is released
  • release the brakes
  • advance the thrust levers to takeoff thrust (TO/GA).
31
Q

TAKE OFF
In crosswind conditions, large turbo fan engines will initially turn ________. Between _____ knots the airplane will turn _____.

REF: FCTM

A
  • downwind
  • 70-80
  • upwind
32
Q

TAKE OFF
What and why can happen if the nose wheel steering tiller is not released before application of takeoff thrust?

REF: FCTM

A

A configuration warning may occur due to the aft axle steering being out of the locked position.

33
Q

TAKE OFF
Why allowing the engines to stabilize is important?

REF: FCTM

A

Allowing the engines to stabilize provides uniform engine acceleration to takeoff thrust and minimizes directional control problems.

34
Q

TAKE OFF
During tailwind conditions, slight EPR (as installed) fluctuations may occur on some engines before __ knots forward airspeed.

REF: FCTM

A

5 kts

Under rotation (Rotate to 5° less than target) increases (horizontal distance) climb through 35ft up to

A

44
Q

To avoid tend to pitch the nose up with CG at or near the aft limit…

A
  • maintain forward pressure on the control column
  • above 80 knots, relax the forward control column pressure to the neutral position.
  • use of reduced thrust and rolling takeoff technique is recommended whenever possible.
45
Q

Engine stress and possible engine surge can occur with a strong crosswind or tailwind component if takeoff thrust is set before brake release.
Therefore, the rolling takeoff procedure is strongly advised when crosswinds exceed ___ knots or tailwinds exceed __ knots.

A
