Glideslope captured |
|
|
Term
| What speed is set in the IAS/Mach window and PFD when power is first applied to the airplane? Altitude? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What initial pitch attitude is commanded by the flight director when the flight director is turned on, while on the ground? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Will the autothrottles operate if you don’t push TO/GA for takeoff by 50 knots? |

Definition
No
Autothrottles will be inhibited until 400' |
|
|
Term
| If an engine failure occurs on the ground, what is the pitch command target speed at liftoff? |
|
Definition
| V2, or airspeed at liftoff, whichever is greater |
|
|
Term
| At liftoff, with TO/GA as the roll mode, what roll command is maintained? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| During takeoff, when TO/GA is selected, which autothrottle mode is active? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What autothrottle mode is activated with the second push of the TO/GA switch? |
|
Definition
| THR REF, at full go‐around thrust |
|
|
Term
| How could you select climb thrust after takeoff or go-around? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| When is TO/GA mode terminated after takeoff? |
|
Definition
By selecting any other pitch and roll mode, or
By activation of LNAV/VNAV modes |
|
|
Term
| If a VNAV descent is initiated prior to T/D, what is the pitch mode? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What Autothrottle flight mode annunciations would you have when using FLCH SPD in a descent, to include subsequent altitude capture? |
|
Definition
THR, followed by HOLD
A/T mode changes to SPD when altitude captured |
|
|
Term
Which PFD annunciation is associated with a fail operational automatic landing?
Fail passive automatic landing? |
|
Definition
LAND 3 for fail operational
LAND 2 for fail passive |
|
|
Term
| With the approach (APP) switch pushed, at what intercept track angle does the AFDS capture the localizer? |
|
Definition
| 120° of the localizer course |
|
|
Term
| Can the glideslope be captured prior to localizer intercept? |
|
Definition
| No, glideslope capture is inhibited until localizer capture and the intercept angle is within 80° of the localizer course |
|
|
Term
| How can you de‐select approach mode AFTER localizer and glideslope are captured? |
|
Definition
Select TO/GA
Disengage autopilot and turn both F/D switches off |
|
|
Term
| How does the autopilot correct for crosswinds during LAND 2 & 3 approaches? |
|
Definition
| Introduces a sideslip at 500' and 200', depending on crab angle |
|
|
Term
| During multiple A/P approaches, how does the A/P maintain runway alignment if an engine failure occurs prior to the approach? During approach? |
|
Definition
Prior: introduces a sideslip at 1300'
During the approach: when the engine failure is detected |
|
|
Term
| During autoland, what action disconnects the autothrottles? |
|
Definition
| A reverse thrust lever is raised to reverse idle |
