Limits

Question 1

Prohibited Operations

Answer 1

1. Intentional spins, stalls, aerobatics, steep dives (not associated with an Emergency Descent), or maneuvers

resulting in abrupt accelerations.

2. Use of auto land.
3. Load factor greater than 2.0 g’s with asymmetric thrust.
4. Holding and on-station mission operations in icing with flaps extended.
5. Use of Mission Limit Mode.
6. Uninterrupted rudder deflections across the neutral position (commonly referred to as rudder reversals).

Approximately zero sideslip and yaw must be established at neutral rudder.

7. Rapid rudder check or rapid release to neutral after abrupt rudder input.
8. Alternating control inputs, especially in combination with large changes in pitch, roll, or yaw (e.g., large

sideslip angles).

9. Uninterrupted rapid wheel inputs across the neutral position at roll rates greater than 10 degrees per second.
10. Auxiliary fuel transfer functions FWD > AFT and AFT > FWD.
11. Flight beyond stick shaker or initial buffet (whichever occurs first).

Note

Flight to onset of stick shaker is only authorized during stall warning checks

as part of the NFM functional checkflight procedure.

12. Intentional single engine or simulated single engine maneuvers, except as required for an FCF.

Question 2

ELECTRICAL LIMITATIONS

Answer 2

Anytime IDG loads in excess of 41 percent are required during ground operations, advance thrust to a minimum of 32 percent N1.

Question 3

Engine Oil Quantity

Answer 3

Before each flight, the flight deck engine oil indication for each engine (with the engine shutdown) shall be aminimum of:

1. For overland operations: 60 percent full (12 quarts).
2. For overwater operations: 60 percent full (12 quarts) or 7 quarts plus 1 quart per total flight hour, whichever is higher (up to maximum servicing).

Question 4

Maximum Taxi/Towing Weight (MTW)

Answer 4

189,700 lbs

Question 5

Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW)

Answer 5

189,200 lbs

Question 6

Maximum Landing Weight (MLW)

Answer 6

149,800 lbs

Question 7

Maximum Zero Fuel Weight (MZFW)

Answer 7

141,800 lbs

Question 8

APU LIMITATIONS

Answer 8

Altitude limitations:

1. In flight — APU bleed plus electrical load maximum altitude 10,000 feet.
2. Ground only — APU bleed plus electrical load maximum altitude 14,000 feet.
3. APU bleed only maximum altitude 17,000 feet.
4. APU electrical load only maximum altitude 41,000 feet.

Question 9

Maximum Takeoff EGT

Answer 9

950 °C (5 minutes)

Note

If an engine failure occurs during takeoff, the

maximum time for operating at full takeoff thrust is

increased from 5 minutes to 10 minutes.

Question 10

Maximum Continuous EGT

Answer 10

925 °C

Question 11

Maximum Start EGT

Answer 11

725 °C

Question 12

Maximum N₁ rpm

Answer 12

104. 7% (20 seconds)
105. 0% (continuous)

Note

EEC software will inhibit the overspeed indication.

Question 13

Minimum Oil Pressure

Answer 13

13 psi

Note

During negative-g operation conditions only, it is

permitted to operate the engine below minimum

oil pressure (13 psi) for a maximum of 10 seconds

before engine shutdown is required.

Question 14

Maximum Oil Temperature

Answer 14

155 °C

140 °C –155 °C (45 minutes)

140 °C (continuous)

Question 15

Engine idle time prior to shutdown

Answer 15

3 minutes

Question 16

Maximum tank fuel temperature:

Answer 16

1. Active tank(s) feeding engines: 54 °C.
2. Active tank feeding APU: 57 °C.
