Question 4

Terrain Warning Maneuver (PF)

Answer 4

Pilot Flying:

Answer 8

1. Correct stall condition

Question 9

TCAS Resolution Advisory Response

Answer 9

1. Press AP disconnect button if TCAS guidance is not already being provided.
2. Ensure TCAS is in the FMAs.
3. Follow TCAS FD guidance and/or control vertical speed to avoid the red bands on the TCAS display.

Question 10

“WINDSHEAR” Warning Response (Prior to Go)

Answer 10

• Reject the takeoff.

Question 11

“WINDSHEAR” Warning Response (After Go Speed)

Answer 11

• MAX thrust.
• If still on the runway consider delaying rotation, runway permitting. In no case should rotation be delayed beyond the 1,000 feet remaining mark.
• After lift-off increase airspeed as quickly as possible by attaining a pitch attitude to achive 1-2 degrees postive FPV (400-500 FPM VVI). If 400-500 FPM VVI cannot be attained by 15 degrees pitch attitude, maintain 15 degrees. If a sink rate develops or exists at 15 degrees pitch attitude below 200 feet AGL, smoothly increase pitch attitude to stick shaker/CAWS alert onset and maintain speed until clear of the windshear. If ALS activation occurs prior to stick shaker/CAWS alert, continue a smooth rotation to onset.
• Do not follow F/D guidance for takeoff.
• Raise the gear after an extended period of positive climb rate has been established and ground contact is not a concern, but not less than 1,000 feet AGL.
• Maintain 1/2 flaps, index unchanged until the windshear is exited and Vmfr is attained.

Question 12

“WINDSHEAR” Warning Response (Approach Recovery)

Answer 12

• MAX thrust
• TOGA and disengage AP/ATS. Disregard F/D pitch command guidance.
• Flaps 1/2, index unchanged.
• Attain a pitch attitude to achieve a 1-2 degrees positive FPV (400-500 FPM VVI). If 400-500 FPM VVI cannot be attained by 15 degrees pitch attitude, maintain 15 degrees. If a sink rate develops or exists at 15 degrees pitch attitude below 200 feet AGL, smoothly increase pitch attitude to stick shaker/CAWS alert onset and maintain speed until clear of the windshear. If ALS activation occurs prior to stick shaker/CAWS alert, continue a smooth rotation to onset.
• Raise the gear after an extended period of positive climb rate has been established and ground contact is not a concern, but not less than 1,000 feet AGL.
• Maintain 1/2 flaps, index unchanged until the windshear is exited and Vmfr is attained.

Question 13

“WINDSHEAR” Warning Response (Low Level)

Answer 13

• Attain a pitch attitude to achieve a 1-2 degrees positive FPV (400-500 FPM VVI). If 400-500 FPM VVI cannot be attained by 15 degrees pitch attitude, maintain 15 degrees. If a sink rate develops or exists at 15 degrees pitch attitude below 200 feet AGL, smoothly increase pitch attitude to stick shaker/CAWS alert onset and maintain speed until clear of the windshear. If ALS activation occurs prior to stick shaker/CAWS alert, continue a smooth rotation to onset.
• Flaps 1/2, index unchanged. For airdrop or simulated approaches in the low level environment, reconfigure to Flaps 1/2 from 3/4 or Full Flaps.
• Thrust initial to MAX then as required to obtain/maintain turbulence penetration airspeed. Do not leave power below 45% N1 for sustained periods to reduce flameout risk.
• When terrain impact is no longer a concern, report the encounter to ATC. Consider using the Thunderstorm, Turbulence, or Heavy Rain Penetration procedural guidance as applicable. Report instances of server turbulence to mx upon landing via 781/aircraft forms.

Question 14

Engine Failure At Takeoff

Answer 14

1. At rotation speed the PM will announce “ROTATE” and the PF will rotate to attain a target pitch attitude of at least 12 degrees but not greater than 15 degrees.
2. Once airborne, with positive rate of climb established the PM will call “POSITIVE RATE”. The PF will confirm a positive rate of climb and call “GEAR UP”. The copilot will repeat the command, position the gear handle to UP, and verify that the gear in transit indicators illuminate and then extinguish.

Question 15

Engine Failure Prior To Flap Retraction

Answer 15

1. Follow flight director guidance and advance throttles to MAX thrust as required. In the event of F/D failure, adjust pitch attitude as required to maintain airspeed between Vmco and Vmfr as required.
2. Climb at current flap/slat configuration and speed (no slower than Vmco) to the planned three engine acceleration altitude.
3. Upon reaching, or if already or above the planned three engine acceleration altitude, level off and accelerate.
4. At Vmfr, retract the flaps.
5. At Vmsr, retract the slats.
6. Climb at Vmsr. When at or above the Obstacle Clearance/Minimum Climb Gradient Altitude, accelerate to 250 KCAS or Vmma clean, whichever is higher. Refer to Engine Failure During Climb.

Question 16

Engine Failure After Flap retraction but Before Slat Retraction

Answer 16

1. Advance throttles to MAX thrust as required.
2. Pitch as needed to climb at current airspeed with slats extended to the planned three engine acceleration altitude.
3. Upon reaching, or if already at or above the planned three engine acceleration altitude, level off and accelerate.
4. At Vsmr retract the slats.
5. Climb at Vmsr. When at or above the Obstacle Clearance/Minimum Climb Gradient Altitude accelerate to 250 KCAS or Vmma clean, whichever is higher. Refer to Engine Failure During Climb.

Question 17

Engine Failure After Slat Retraction

Answer 17

1. Advance the throttles to MAX thrust as required.
2. Pitch as needed to maintain climb at Vmsr/Vmma, or current airspeed if greater to the Obstacle Clearance/Minimum Climb Gradient Altitude.
3. Upon reaching the Obstacle Clearance/Minimum Climb gradient Altitude or if already at or above, accelerate to 250 KCAS or Vmma clear, whichever is higher. Refer to Engine Failure During Climb.
