What is Omni Policy on the Maximum taxi speed? (FCTM 2.5.5)
Normal taxi speed is approximately 20 knots, adjusted for conditions. On long straight taxi routes, speeds up to 30 knots are acceptable, however at speeds greater than 20 knots use caution when using the nose wheel steering tiller to avoid overcontrolling the nose wheels.
Define ETOPS Airspace. (FCTM 4.3.11)
Extended Operations (ETOPS) for two engine airplanes are those flights which include points at a flying distance greater than one hour (in still air) from an adequate airport, at engine out cruise speed.
What is the ICAO Holding Speed below 14,000? (FCTM 4.5.1.1)
Through 14,000 feet - 230 knots
Above 14,000 to 20,000 feet MSL - 240 knots
Above 20,000 to 34,000 feet MSL - 265 knots
Above 34,000 feet MSL - 0.83M
When should the holding speed be achieved? (FCTM 4.5)
Holding Start reducing to holding airspeed 3 minutes before arrival time at the holding fix so that the airplane crosses the fix, initially, at or below the maximum holding airspeed.
What minimum hold speed should be used above FL 250 if not available in the FMC? (FCTM 4.5.3)
Above FL250, use VREF 30 + 100 knots to provide at least a 0.3 g margin to initial buffet (full maneuver capability).
For Flight Planning purposes. What category is the B-777? (FCTM 5.2.3)
The 777–200 series airplanes are classified as Category “C” airplanes.
The colors used on the Boeing flight deck are? (FCTM 1.2.1)
Red is the highest priority safety-related information. Warning level alerts are displayed in red with an aural, and require immediate awareness and corrective action. Red is also used for keep-out zones and do-not-exceed limits.
◦ Amber is the second priority safety-related information. Caution level alerts are displayed in amber with an aural, and require immediate crew awareness and subsequent response. Amber is also used for failure flags, non-normal sources, and regions of limited operation.
◦ Amber Advisories are displayed in amber text with no aural, and requires crew awareness and may require a response.
◦ Green is used to indicate active, engaged, selected and tuned. Green is also used to indicate fly-to areas.
◦ White is used for real-time information, scales and values that are ready to be used.
◦ Magenta is used for target values and the FMC-generated flight path.
◦ Cyan is used for inactive data, labels and background.
◦ Blue is used for informational purposes.
Explain the four types of alerts. (FCTM 1.2.1)
Time critical warnings are non-normal operational or system condition requiring immediate crew awareness and corrective action to maintain safe flight.
Warnings alert the crew to a non-normal operational or system condition requiring immediate crew awareness and corrective action.
Cautions alert the crew to a non-normal operational or system condition requiring immediate crew awareness. Corrective action is required.
Advisories alert the crew to a non-normal operational or system condition requiring routine crew awareness. Corrective action can be required.
What is Omni’s policy on the rate of descent? (FCTM 1.3.2)
Flight Crew shall not at any time under normal operations, with the exception of the regime of flight governed by Stabilized Approach Criteria, descend the aircraft at a rate of descent greater than one half of the aircraft’s height above ground level not to exceed any aircraft design limit.
When must headsets with boom microphones be used? (FCTM 1.7)
Headsets with a boom microphone must be worn during takeoff until the top of climb and from the start of descent throughout approach, landing and taxi operations. During cruise, flight deck speakers may be used above 18,000 feet.
When shall Flap 30 and full reverse thrust be used? (FCTM 1.9)
Flaps 30 and full reverse thrust shall be used when landing on runways 7000 feet or less in length and/or during conditions where stopping the aircraft is a concern.
What is the minimum altitude for flap retraction? (FCTM 1.9.4)
The minimum altitude for flap retraction is 400 feet.
