Best angle and best rate of climb 
Best angle climb is in the FMC climb page.
Best rate of climb is Cost Index 0 or VREF flap30 +140 approximately 280 kt, Max angle + 60kts
Rules for crosswind limits
If takeoff weight is less than 195,000 kg subtract 5 kt from the takeoff crossword limits
If takeoff MAC is greater than 30% contact aircraft performance for crossing limits 
Can you auto land overweight?
No

How many starter generators?
6×235 kVA starter generators.
Four on engines
Two on APU all the same 
What do large motor controllers drive?
Six items
CACs
Hydraulic electric motor pumps times four
Centre fuel pumps
Nitrogen generator system
RAM air fans, boost ear intake when no ram air
Engine and APU starter generators 
Describe the remote power distribution units
17 RPDUs all over AC
How does the APU battery function?
Automatically, no switch 
What are PMG’s
Permanent magnetic generators?
3 PMGs, 2 left engine, 1 right engine
Primary source of power for Flight controls independent from main AC electrical system and each other directly driven when engine turning.
A secondary source for Flight control power is provided by the airplanes 28 V DC bus distribution system and the main battery. In addition a backup system is provided by dedicated batteries to assure positive Flight control operation during temporary power interruptions
What are PMAs?
Permanent magnetic alternators
Primary power source for EEC’s
Independent from electrical system and each other directly driven with if engine turning
When will external rear power work?
External rear power will not work unless forward to external power also connected and selected 
What power sources can the engine engines be started from?
-APU
-External power (forward and rear but if rear, forward must be on. Rear assist starting right engine and reduces electrical load shedding.
-Second engine
When do the fire switches unlock?
-Fire detected
-Engine shut down, includes APU
Rat drops out if…
– Both engines fail.
– all hydraulic systems pressure low
– loss of power to Flight instruments, main battery provides electrical power until RAT deploys
– all four EMP‘s fail and on approach with Flight control problems or engine failure on takeoff or approach
Towing Power switch powers…

How many CACs
4
2 operate in ground unless cold then 4
Deflector doors close when
In air or on ground below 2 degrees or above 35 degrees
What is needed to drive flaps on the ground
All 3 hydraulic systems
