D. Both A and B.
A. Deletes the next waypoint altitude constraint with each push of the button
if that constraint lies between the airplane altitude and the MCP altitude.

A. True.
B. False.
A. True.
8) LNAV engages: [8.40.20]
A. If armed, engages on takeoff if the airplane is above 50 feet and is within 2.5
miles of an active leg.

only, or 200 feet with the autopilot engaged.
C. Displays LNAV (in green) on the PFD and HUD roll FMA when engaged.

force applied to the control wheel or the rudder pedals: [8.40.10]
A. True.
B. False.
B. False.
10) A display of LAND 3 on the AFDS status annunciation indicates that the autopilot
system level of redundancy is such that a single fault cannot prevent the autopilot
system from making an automatic landing. [8.40.10]
A. True.
B. False.
A. True.
11) The autothrottles disconnect automatically: [8.40.10]
A. If a fault in the engaged autothrottle mode is detected.
B. When either reverse thrust lever is stowed from the idle detent.
C. If the thrust levers are overridden during a manual landing, after the
autothrottle has begun to retard the thrust levers to idle.
D. A and C are correct.
D. A and C are correct.
