FCOM- NORMAL Flashcards
Does auto brake need to be used in normal ops?
Shall be used for all take off and landings when serviceable.
Only available from normal (Right Hydraulics)
NP 11.2
Do you need to let PM know when disconnecting AP or AT?
Yes.
PF shall alert Pm.
NP11.2
If during or after engine start, there is an Alert, should you check MeL/CDL?
NP11.4
Yes
- Do the respective NNC
- ON THE GROUND, check the MEL/CDL
If displays and instruments require cleaning, should you do it yourself?
No.
Enter into AML.
Maintenance to clean.
What is the only checklist that needs to be done from paper QRH?
Evacuation
Sometimes arrive at cockpit and electronic checklist is disabled.
Do you need an engineer?
No.
Can enter Maint Display - ATA 31
To enable.
NP 11.9
Do you need to inform ground crew when starting APU?
No.
NP 11.10
Does FD need to be used for take off and departure?
Yes.
Shall be used.
NP11.10
Is FD required for RNP?
Yes.
Required for all PBN (RNAV AND RNP) approaches.
If not
Required for visual segment of approach. Pm select both off then pm on.
Is the use of the ground camera the primary means of determining appropriate taxi position?
No.
Outside visual is primary.
Camera used as AID on ANY MFD.
PROHIBITED FOR use during takeoff approach and landing.
MCP altitudes.
In descent, what to set if alt says 1820’?
Round down to nearest 100’:
Therefore 1800’
Perfect example of this is FAF at Macau vor 34 = 1990, but set 1900.
For MDA and DA, set to the nearest 10’ above the MDA.
(Example, MDA 555, set 560 in MCP for descent purposes)
NP 11.11
Normal MCP setting technique:
Normally, all constraints set in MCP.
These exceptions are permitted:
-compliance assured, next restriction set
- Star or SID with close spaced altitude constraints, Alternate setting technique using VNAV can be used.
(Next altitude not normally set until within 2 NM of active waypoint)
Alternate MCP altitude setting technique:
Check FMC restraints
Exiting VNAV requires the next restriction to be set.
When clear STAR, last ATC altitude must be kept until on published segment of APP (IAF onwards)
Cleared for approach and ESTABLISHED on published segment of app (IE within 2 nm or inside of IAF), what should you set in MCP?
ILS:
Lowest of FAP or FAF
NPA:
FAF
(If FaF not on chart, use one coded in FMC)
ER:
When should HF R be selected to DATA mode?
Prior to entering polar airspace, or with SATCOM inop.
NP 11.14
When would manual tuning of Radio Aid be permitted to facilitate awareness?
1) associated with Port Page EO proc
2) BTA or MSA based on Nav Aid
3) Nav Aid required to ensure compliance with ATC, and it’s not on ND.
11.14
Are we allowed to use ACARS RTOW and SMS RTOW still?
Yes, as back up.
RTOW non normal codes can be found in QRH (OI 1.6)
Two items to turn on when crossing an active runway?
Strobe light
TCAS (11.16)
EFB update required for every sector?
Need to update prior to every flying duty, prior to sign on.
Not required for second sector
NP21.1
At dispatch, EFB check will include?
Battery charge (approx 70% up)
Comply (sync within 24 hour and review FON’s relevant)
FD Pro (current with relevant wx too)
OPT
Flight folder (SAD, sign on, activate, Digital EDG)
My flight WX (valid,)
Ops 8.12.6.2
And
NP 21.1
When is a landing dispatch calculation required?
PF required to calculate when one or more of these:
1) weather at Dest forecast Contaminated rwy
2) MEL with landing performance
3) NOTAM indicating reduction in LDA
(Verify OFP landing weight is below DISPATCH LANDING WEIGHT LIMIT)
If above, need to limit ZFW.
NP21.2
Who performs the crew oxygen pressure drop test?
Right seat pilot
(5 seconds, not more than 50psi drop)
If crew or passenger oxygen below which level, refer to Limitations?
1600 psi
First and second observer oxygen always need to be checked as well.
What to do if find that EFB power outlet inop?
Enter into AML
