Limitations

Question 0

What is the fuel limitation for Cruise (AD 2002-19-52)

Answer 0

NG - If more than 2000lbs in center tank, both center tank switches much be re-positioned to ON.

NG- Turn one center fuel pump switch to OFF during climb or cruise when center tank fuel quantity reaches approximately 2000 pounds. Open crossfeed to minimize imbalance. When MASTER CAUTION and FUEL lights illuminate, turn the remaining center tank fuel pump switch to off without delay and close CROSSFEED valve.

Center tank fuel pump switches must be selected to OFF when both center fuel pump low pressure lights illuminate.

Question 11

What is the radar limitation?

Answer 11

Do not operate the wx radar during fueling, near fuel spills or near people.

Question 12

What are the circuit breaker limitations?

Answer 12

A tripped CB may only be reset once. Allow approximately 2 minutes for cooling before resetting. An in-flight reset should only be accomplished if in the judgement of the Captain, regaining use of that system is critical to the safe conduct of flight.

Flight crews must not reset tripped fuel quantity, fuel pumps or fuel pump control CB’s.

Question 13

What is the fuel limitation for descent (AD 2002-19-52)

Answer 13

NG- Turn on one center fuel pump switch OFF at beginning of descent if <3000lbs of fuel remain in center tank. Open CROSSFEED valve to minimize fuel imbalance. When MASTER CAUTION and FUEL system annunciation lights illuminate, turn the remaining center tank fuel pump OFF without delay and close X-feed.

If an extended period of level flight is required prior to approach & landing (holding) and fuel remains in center tank, a single center tank pump switch may be ON if both pumps were previously OFF. X-feed should be opened to prevent a fuel imbalance.

Question 14

What is the limitation on normal flaps?

Answer 14

Do not extend flaps above 20,000ft pressure altitude

Question 15

What are the TCAS Limitations

Answer 15

Flight crews must immediately respond to TCAS information (both TA’s & RA’s) by using the TCAS guidelines located in the QRH Section P Non-Normal Maneuvers/Profiles.

Pilots are authorized to deviate from an ATC clearance to the extent necessary to comply with the RA

Question 16

After starting, what are the engine limitations for stabilization.

Answer 16

On the first flight of the day, operate engines at or near idle, after rollback, for a minimum of FIVE minutes prior to applying takeoff thrust.

Operate engines at or near idle, after rollback, for a MINIMUM of TWO minutes prior to applying Takeoff thrust.

Question 17

What is the fuel limitation for takeoff?

Answer 17

(CL) Center tank fuel pumps must be ON for takeoff with more than 1000lbs of fuel in the center tank.

NG- Both center tank fuel pump switches must be positioned OFF for Takeoff if the center tank fuel quantity is <5000lbs.

Question 18

What is the MAX altitude for operating the AP ELECTRIC ONLY in the NG?

Answer 18

41000ft

Question 19

What are the engine limitations after landing?

Answer 19

When operational conditions permit, engines should be idle for THREE minutes before shutdown.

Operate engines at idle for a MINIMUM of ONE minute prior to shutdown.

Question 20

What are the speedbrake limitations?

Answer 20

• Do not use speedbrakes in flight below 1000ft AGL
• In flight, do not extend the speedbrake lever beyond the flight detent.
• In flight, do not extend the speedbrakes unless the flaps are fully retracted.

Question 21

What is the limitation on the alternate flaps?

Answer 21

Alternate flap duty cycle in flight is one complete cycle, then 5 minutes off. A complete cycle is movement from position from 0 to 15 and back to 0. The alternate flap switch must be in the OFF position for 15 seconds before reversing the direction of flap movement.

Question 22

What are the fuel distribution limitations?

Answer 22

Use center tank fuel to depletion followed by wing tank fuel.

1000lbs may be retained in the center tank provided the effects of balance have been considered.

Question 23

What is the MAX altitude for operating the APU BLEED AIR & ELECTRIC in the NG?

Answer 23

10,000ft

Question 24

What is the limitation on pack operations?

Answer 24

With engine bleed air switches ON, do not operate the air conditioning packs in HIGH for Takeoff, approach or landing.

Question 25

What is the MAX fuel tank temperature?

Answer 25

+49C

Question 26

What is the limitation for one generator?

Answer 26

NG- On the Ground, limit one generator operation (engine driven) to a maximum of 215 amps.

Question 27

What is the MAX Operating Altitude for the NG?

Answer 27

41,000ft

Question 28

What is the fuel limitation while on the ground at the gate?

Answer 28

Main tanks must be full if the center fuel tank quantity is >1000lbs. For ground ops, center tank fuel pump switches must NOT be ON unless center tank quantity exceeds 1000lbs, except when defueling or transferring fuel. Center tank fuel pumps must not be selected on unless personnel are available on the flight deck to monitor the low pressure lights. Flight crews must not reset tripped fuel quantity, fuel pump, or fuel pump control CB's.

Question 29

What is the limitation for a Circle to Land Approach Maneuver?

Answer 29

Wx minimums are 1000ft and a 3 mile visibility, unless approach charts specify higher. Use a MDA of 1000ft above airport elevation unless restricted to a higher altitude in the circle-to-land minimum section on the approach chart.

Question 30

What is the limitation for the cargo bay?

Answer 30

Aircraft must land within 60 minutes after initial discharge of the fire suppression system (195 minutes for -800)

Answer 31

37,000ft

Question 32

What is the fuel limitation for the initial climb? (AD 2002-19-52)

Answer 32

NG- When the center tank fuel quantity is >2000lbs turn on both center tank fuel pump switches above 10,000ft or after reducing the pitch attitude to accelerate to 250 knots.

Question 33

What is the MAX altitude for operating the APU BLEED AIR ONLY in the 300/500?

Answer 33

Answer 34

17,000ft

Question 35

Are there any EGT limitations?

Answer 35

Max EGT for start is 725C. The EEC does not supply RED LINE protection but will shut down the engine if it overtemps.
