Answer 17

anytime

any suitable speed after touchdown by pressing the brake pedals

Question 18

If landing on a runway with degraded braking conditions, at what point shold the transition to manual braking occur?

_______the tendancy to _____ braking when transitioning from autobraking to manual braking and avoid_______ braking to make a convienient turnoff?

Answer 19

• avoid
• increase
• excessive

Question 20

For optimum manual braking on all runway conditons when should the brakes be applied?

Answer 20

With no delay after the main landing gear wheels have touched down

Question 21

During some abnormal/emergency conditions it is required the emergency/paking brake must be used to stop the aircraft, in these cases what braking protections are not available?

Answer 21

• locked wheel protection
• antiskid protection
• touchdown protection

Question 22

If the emergency/parking brake must be used to stop the aircraft upon landing what will happen to the deflection/position of the handle as the aircraft slows?

Answer 22

The handle will continue to increase deflection to maintain continuous braking

Question 23

If a tire bursts upon landing while using the emergency/parking brake what should not be done until the aircraft comes to a complete stop?

Answer 23

The braking handle should continue to be applied (do not release the handle)

Question 24

Describe the maximum landing performance techniques

Answer 24

• Full flaps
• cross threshold at screen height (50ft) and VREF
• avoid extended flare
• apply maximum reverse thrust (if nec max rev thrust until complete stop
• after main wheel touchdown apply firm and steady maximum steady brake pressure
• lower nose wheel immediately

Question 25

When is the use of the MED autobrake setting reccommended?

Answer 25

On wet, slippery or contaminated runways

Question 26

At what bank angle will the engine nacelle stike the ground at normal and compressed strut positions?

Answer 26

* 16\* compressed * 18\* normal strut extension

Question 27

Crossing threshold at 100 ft , VREF +10 and with 3 seconds of extra flare can increase landing distance by apprx how much?

Answer 27

80%

Question 28

What is the most important/safest way to deal with windshear?

Answer 28

avoid it

Question 29

What is the defination of severe windshear?

Answer 29

Rapid change in wind direction or velocity resuling in airspeed changes greater than 15kias or vertical speed changes greater than 500fpm

Question 30

What flap setting, unless otherwise precluded due to landing performance limitations, is preferred for landing in areas of possible windshear?

Answer 30

Flaps 5

Question 31

When should windshear escape maneuver be performed?
