42
Why is the right demand pump turned on first?
Braking
43
Can I put the right demand pump on and then go straight to C1?
No. fault light needs to extinguish.
44
Why cant I put the right demand pump on and then go straight to C1?
To prevent fluid transfer
45
You see the fault light on the C2 demand pump during pre-flight is that normal?
yes, because ELMS will shed it because we only have one power source
46
Something specific about the right demand against all the others on the ground with all
the switches in auto?
Constantly run for braking
47
Other than the C2 primary fault light on is there any other system that would be affected
by the elms?

48
Which one L or R?
Right
49
Just prior to engine start you happen to look at the EGT gauges, should the red lines be
there right now?
Yes
50
So just before you call for push back you notice that the expanded fuel display is there do
you know when that goes away?
During the second engine start
51
What would make it appear (abnormal)?
12-3 of the manual
52
During the pushback you reach down and grab one of the fire switches. Will they come on?
Yes
53
When would we have to use the override below the switch to pull it?
When the fuel control switch is in run and there is no fire detected
54
What’s the first thing we do prior to pulling the switch?
Fuel control switch to cutoff (in the event the fuel control switch did not release it)
55
We are starting the right engine first and the auto start which is part of the EEC protects the
engines from what during an AutoStart?
7-24
56
How many attempts will it have on the ground?
3
57
In the event that it gets to the 3rd one and does its cool down to where the EGT goes down
to where it is and shuts it down automatically. At that point you get an engine auto start
message what do you do now?
Fuel control switch, cutoff
58
Then you bring up the checklist for the autostart and it will tell you go ahead and take that
start selector and go to start and time it for 30 seconds can you see that anywhere?
Pop up
59
Under what condition do you think you would apply the aborted engine start memory item?
Manual Start
No starter cut out
Ground personnel
60
Once they have both the engines running what is the recommended time to warm them up?
3mins
61
Under what conditions outside do we have to turn the engine anti ice system on on the
ground?
Below 10 degs outside in visible moisture
62
When do we turn on cowl A/I in our procedure?
Immediately after engine start both engines
63
Part of the flow for the F/O is he turns the APU off after both engines have started about
how long does it take for the APU to shut down?
2 minutes
64
Ground crew has now cleared off and you call flaps five, how do the flaps/slats extend?
Slats will extend first and then your flaps
65
The slats will go where when flaps 5 is selected ?
Mid range
66
In the event that you get a flap drive when the flaps are extended to fly. The indicator will
expand. Will it expand with the 5 and 20 tick mark displayed or will it expand like that with
two of them?
It will expand like that with the two of them
67
When will I see the 5 and 20?
In the alternate flap mode
68
Do you know why we see the 5 and 20 in the alt flap mode?
Because we need to start and stop (we are deciding where to put them)
69
And the most you can get out of the alternate flap mode?
Mid range slats and flap 20
70
With the flaps normal and the flaps are at flaps 5 they are coming out really slow. You
reach up there and put the c1 c2 from auto to on, what happened?
Only one will come on. The last one you selected on wont work
71
Why is there an auto for HYD Pumps why don’t we have just an off and on? What's the purpose?
Auto runs only when demand requires it or if you loose a primary engine pump
72

Primary
Secondary
Alternate
73
Ground crew are now clear and youre getting ready to do your flight control check.

81
So you call for taxi and they give you taxi. In LA we park at JAL 2 and KAL one and we get
pushed back on taxiway A tail west, so we call ground and they say taxi to runway 25L. The
hdg for 25L is 251. We are taxiing out and one of the cool things about this aircraft when it
comes to braking is what?

Now you realise you just had a momentary rollback of the engine. If it was to fail how many
times would the EEC try to relight it?

Now we are coming through FL250, out of all the chaos that’s going on you ask for flaps 1.
Will they come out?
Not above 20,000ft or 275kts
138
We are going back to runway 25 and you realise you have to jettison fuel. The first thing the
QRH tells you to do is hit the arm switch. You select the arm switch what did that do?
Arms the 2 jettison pumps and sets ldg weight
139
So I have fuel in the centre, do the centre pumps need to be on to jettison fuel?
Yes
140
So the wing tanks have jettison pumps, when will they kick on since we don’t have a switch
for them?
Soon as the buttons are pressed to jettison
141
Lets just say for argument sake it say 60,000lbs will be your remaining, what will that take us
down to?

We are coming in and when I ask for gear down you inadvertently hit the alternate gear
extension instead of the handle what happens now?
The gear will fall but the doors will stay open
144
If I go around can I raise the gear?
Yes
145
Will the doors stay open?
