GENERAL

Question 1

What are the guidelines for taxi speeds?

Answer 1

-Normal: 20 knots

Answer 18

288,031

Question 19

While loading the CDU, what is the tolerance allowed for the stabilizer trim value on the CDU compared against the value on the FDP?

Answer 19

+/- 1.0 units

Question 20

FMC calculated N1 or EPR should be within ____ of the FDP calculated target.

Answer 20

N1: 1%

EPR: .02

Question 21

During flap retraction, what maneuver capability is while retracting through flaps 1? Is this provided for flaps up as well?

Answer 21

40 degrees of bank (25+15 overshoot) up to stick shaker.

The above is also provided at flaps up (VREF30 + 80), but only for gross weights 309,000 kg and below.

For gross weights above 309,000 kg, full maneuver capability does not exist until reaching VREF 30 + 100.

Question 22

Because there is a difference in maneuver capability above 309,000 kg, it is important to limit bank to ____ with flaps up UNTIL reaching _____ knots.

Answer 22

Limit bank to 15 degrees with flaps UP until reaching VREF 30 + 100 knots.

Question 23

Normally when making an approach and you’re ready to configure to land, you simply bug the flaps UP bug and then begin adding flaps. Is it different when above 309,000 kg?

Answer 23

Yes, you bug UP + 20 initially, then add flaps.

Question 24

What the acronym that can help you remember all of the tasks to call for as PF prior to T/D?

Answer 24

A-RACE

ATIS
Recall
CDU (load STAR/Approach)
EFIS control panel (Set minimums)

Question 25

For a procedure turn, be flaps ____ crossing the procedure turn fix.

Answer 25

5 at flaps 5 maneuver speed

Question 26

Stabilized approach criteria

Answer 26

By 1,000' AFE: -Correct flight path (within 1 dot G/S and LOC. Or within expanded LOC scale) -On speed (momentary deviations OK) -Landing configuration -Sink rate not over 1,000 FPM (If greater required, must have been briefed) -Appropriate thrust setting -All checklists complete

Question 27

Landing VREF additive for autothrottle engaged

Answer 27

+5

Question 28

Landing VREF additive for autothrottle disengaged

Answer 28

Half the steady state headwind component + all of the gust. Minimum +5 maximum + 20

Question 29

If you have a VREF that came from a NNC (VREF30+20), and you also had gusty wind conditions, would you add corrections onto that NNC derived VREF?

Answer 29

Yes. Treat the NNC derived VREF identically to a normal VREF regarding gusts. +5 always for autothrottle engaged, and steady state + gust minimum +5-maximum +20 for autothrottle disengaged. TREAT AS NORMAL VREF

Question 30

When is NAI required on the ground?

Answer 30

OAT 10 or below and ground clutter or visible moisture (1SM or less) present.

Question 31

When is an engine run up required?

Answer 31

OAT is 3 degrees or below and NAI is required. (GE 60% for 30 seconds, 30 minute intervals)

When visibility is below landing mins (CAT 1) at departure airport.

Question 33

Is reduced thrust ATM allowed for wet runways?

Answer 33

Yes. Provided you have suitable performance

Question 34

Is reduced thrust ATM method allowed for contaminated runways? (Slush, snow, standing water, or ice?)

Answer 34

No

Question 35

Takeoffs are not recommended when slush, wet snow, or standing water depth is more than ____

Answer 35

Question 36

What is the maximum depth of dry snow for takeoff?

Answer 36

Question 37

What is a good way to remember all the things you need to do before an approach? (prior to top of descent in real life. After your missed approach and prior to your next approach mostly in the sim).

Answer 37

ARFBBBB ATIS Recall Review FDP (with desired flap setting and gross weight + set the VREF) Brake (autobrake) Build (build approach/arrival) Bug (set minimums) Brief OR another way A-RACE ATIS Recall Review Assessment/Autobrake CDU (build) EFIS controls (set mins)

Question 38

It is 3 degrees or less and there is visible moisture/ground clutter. It is a very long taxi, many delays. 30 minutes occurs, you do a 30 second engine run up. Right after, you are cleared for takeoff. Are you required to do an engine run up on the runway, even though you just did one?

Answer 38

Yes. It is considered a separate procedure, even though they are identical procedures. Taxi "engine run up" procedure and takeoff "engine run up" procedure. You must do it on the runway regardless of how recently the taxi one was done.

Question 39

For deicing, you always use _____ tables. (HOT app)

Answer 39

Adjusted

Question 40

When is a standing takeoff recommended?

Answer 40

Contaminated runways

Answer 41

Slush, snow, ice, standing water. (other than wet)

No. It is in FCOM Vol 1- Supplementary Procedures- Air Systems
