Q

What is the wind correction rule for app withouth a/t?

A

If the autothrottle is disconnected, or is planned to be disconnected prior to landing, the recommended method for approach speed correction is to add one half of the reported steady headwind component plus the full gust increment above the steady wind to the reference speed. The minimum command speed setting is VREF + 5 knots. One half of the reported steady headwind component can be estimated by using 50% for a direct headwind, 35% for a 45° crosswind, zero for a direct crosswind and interpolation in between.

Q

If a NNC states “Use flaps 25 and VREF 30 + 20 for landing” this spees becomes the new Vref. Do you have to add wind incr?

A

Yes. Minimum 5 kts. For manual a/t even more acc. the wind rule.

Q

When apply cold temp correction?

A

-30 or colder

Also consider correcting en route minimum altitudes and/or flight levels where terrain clearance is a factor. In some cases corrections may be appropriate for temperatures between 0°C and -30°C.

Terrain-critical en-route altitudes must be corrected by 0.4% per 1°C.

Q

What is the T/O briefing wording?

A

The basic phraseology of the RTO briefing is: “In the event I decide to reject the takeoff before a V1 of….knots, I will call REJECT and take control of the aeroplane, close the thrust levers, disconnect the autothrottle, ensure maximum braking, raise the speedbrakes and apply maximum reverse thrust. If the autobrake EICAS message is displayed, you are to call AUTOBRAKES.”
