2nd Flight Pattern Differences

Question 1

VOR approach briefing?

Answer 1

• Weather suitable for VOR approach
• Flap 30, Vref 135, 175, 215
• Autobrake 2
• Brief VOR approach plate briefing strip
• Fly over high station, outbound 338, not below 1600 until intercepting 174 inbound, then descend MDA 500’
• In the event of a missed approach I will call “Go Around, Flaps 20” and I will set go around thrust. You will say “positive” I will say “gear up” and then brief the missed approach tracking from the approach plate.
• Any questions?

Question 2

On the VOR Approach we get “ALT HOLD” 3 times. What do you need to do when this happens?

Answer 2

Preset the next altitude on the MCP

Question 3

At high station we…

Answer 3

• Time
• Turn (align HDG bug)
• Talk (contact ATC, “high station”)

PF says “high station, time, contact ATC”

Question 4

10 seconds after high station what do you say and do?

Answer 4

• “Outbound tracking checked”
• Point at RMI and Map display and say “raw data and Map check, continue in LNAV”
• Point at altitude selector and say “cleared to 1600, vertical speed minus 500.

Question 5

After pre-setting 500’ after ALT CAPT at 1600’ what do you set on the MCP?

Answer 5

Say “Pre-setting intercept heading 120” and select it, say to PM “monitor the tracking on RMI” when ready select expanded scale your side.

Question 6

At 10.8nm from SJE the aircraft will start to turn. If it does not engage HDG SEL. Then what do you say?

Answer 6

“Gear Down, speed check, flap 20, setting 155 knots, arm speed brake”

As gear is coming down say “report ATC”
