Landing Knowledge

Question 1

When should the landing config be established?

Answer 1

• Early on the final approach

- By the FAF on an instrument approach

Question 2

Prior to calling for/selecting the final flap setting what MUST be checked?

Answer 2

Flight spoilers are FULLY retracted

Question 3

At what speed must the reversers be at 30% N1?

Answer 3

60kts

Question 4

At what speed can the flight controls be exchanged?

Answer 4

<60kts

Question 5

How do you verify that spoilers are set to 0

Answer 5

Spoiler Lever

Question 6

When is the FO required to maintain lateral control during roll out on a crosswind landing?

Answer 6

With aileron by the CP when briefed

Question 7

When is Idle Reverse Thrust Landing (IRTL) prohibited?

Answer 7

• Wet/Contaminated runways
• RRC <5 reported
• Overweight landings
• ANY Tailwind component exists
• Braking action 7500ft without reverser credit

Question 8

What additional conditions would restrict the use of Idle Reverse Thrust Landing?

Answer 8

• When excessive BTMS temps may be encountered
• High altitude airports with high ambient temps
• Landing traffic close behind
• LAHSO ops

Question 9

How is the stopping distance minimized on wet or contaminated runways?

Answer 9

• Make a firm touchdown
• Apply max reverse thrust (Symmetrical)
• Apply firm and symmetrical brake pressure (No pumping)
• Maintain runway centerline with rudder

Question 10

Who has the final authority to accept or decline a LAHSO clearance?

Answer 10

PIC

Question 11

When should a LAHSO be declined?

Answer 11

When it compromises safety

Question 12

What is the required WX to accept a LAHSO clearance?

Answer 12

VASI/PAPI: 1000ft 3SM

Otherwise: 1500ft 5SM

Question 13

What runway conditions prohibit LAHSO?

Answer 13

-Wet/Contaminated

Question 14

What distance is required for a LAHSO?

Answer 14

Available landign distance must be greater than what is on the TLR (Dispatch Release)

Question 15

What is required for a night LAHSO?

Answer 15

FAA-Approved LAHSO night lighting system installed and operating

Question 16

What is the maximum performance landing procedures?

Answer 16

• Full flaps (45)
• Cross threshold at 50ft and at Vref
• Avoid extended flair
• Apply MAX reverse thrust
• After MLG have touched, lower nosewheel immediately
• Firm and steady MAX brakes until plane reaches safe taxi speed

Question 17

What factors increase landing distance?

Answer 17

• Unstabilized approach
• Crossing RWY threshold above Vref
• Crossing RWY threshold above screen height
• Extended flare
• Touching down beyond touchdown zone
• Improper application of available deceleration devices

Question 18

How much would landing distance increase at 10kts above Vref?

Answer 18

20%

Question 19

How much would landing distance increase at 100ft above threshold?

Answer 19

35%

Question 20

How much would landing distance increase by extending the flare by 3 seconds?

Answer 20

25%

Question 21

How much would an unstablized approach 10kts above Vref and 100ft above threshold increase landing distance?

Answer 21

80%

Question 22

What factors would direct you to consider and overweight landing?

Answer 22

• Runway and perf landing weight factors
• Approach weather and runway conditions
• Tire speed limit
• Status of aircraft(Anti-skid/brakes/spoilers)
• Time and altitude needed to burn off fuel vs weather/traffic/ and or need to land

Question 23

At touchdown, what is the maximum rate of descent for an overweight landing?

Answer 23

< 360fpm

Question 24

Who performs the overweight landing?

Answer 24

Captain

Question 25

What are the FO's responsibility on an overweight landing?

Answer 25

Monitors Rate of Descent

Question 26

Is it required to declare an emergency on an overweight landing?

Answer 26

Not unless deemed necessary by the crew

Question 27

What are the EXCESSIVE ASYMMETRY OR LOSS OF BRAKING memory items?

Answer 27

- WHEEL BRAKES: MOMENTARILY RELEASED - ANTI-SKID: OFF - WHEEL BRAKES: RE-APPLY AS REQUIRED
