TLR/Performance

Question 1

What is the purpose of the TLR-# and SEQ-# in the TLR Header?

How long is TAKEOFF DATA portion of datalink performance available?

Answer 1

These are unique identifiers given to each TLR which is used by Aerodata.

• Available for 8 hours then dispatcher may request a new TLR to reset 8 hour window.

Question 2

TRUE or FALSE - The TAKEOFF DATA area of the TLR is only used for the dispatcher’s planned conditions?

Answer 2

TRUE

Question 3

The TAKEOFF DATA is void if the actual OAT is more than?

Answer 3

10C BELOW POAT (Exceeds)

IE: The dispatcher planned an OAT of 16C; the data is void if actual OAT is colder than 6C

Question 4

The TAKEOFF DATA is void if the actual QNH is more than?

Answer 4

0.10” below PQNH (Exceeds)

IE: The dispatcher planned a QNH of 30.10”; the data is void if actual QNH is lower than 30.00”

Question 5

If the TAKEOFF DATA is void, what are our options?

Answer 5

A new TLR can be generated or the dispatcher can do a live calculation to provide the crew takeoff data.

Question 6

What PACKS setting is default for the PMRTW of the TLR Header?

Answer 6

PACKS OFF

Question 7

What is the PMRTW?

Answer 7

PLANNED MAX RUNWAY TAKEOFF WEIGHT

• This is the max takeoff weight, from the planned runway, as limited by climb, field, obstacle, brake, and tire limits - whichever is most restrictive.

Question 8

The PMRTW does not considered what conditions?

Answer 8

Max landing weight and planned fuel burn

Question 9

What is PTOW and where is it used in the TLR?

Answer 9

PLANNED TAKEOFF WEIGHT

• It is the weight used in the initial Takeoff Performance Section. A subsequent section is provided for weight increases. Example: for PTOW plus up to 10,000kg

Question 10

What is MFPTW?

Answer 10

MAX FLIGHT PLAN TAKEOFF WEIGHT

• The max takeoff weight for which the flight plan is valid considering ALL A/C PERFORMANCE LIMITS and MAX LANDING WEIGHT + FUEL BURN.

Question 11

What should be done if actual TOW exceeds MFPTW?

Answer 11

Contact dispatch to determine if new calculations can be performed to increase the MFPTW.

• This is why a Takeoff Data Revision area is included on the TLR.

Question 12

Where would DDG related performance items be found on the TLR?

Answer 12

In the RMKS Area (Remarks)

Question 13

The PMTOW number(s) in the RUNWAY INFO section are based on what number(s) from the TAKEOFF DATA section?

Answer 13

The MFPTW

• Don’t be confused by this. Even though it’s RUNWAY INFO, the PMTOW is based on planned MFPTW which includes max landing weight + fuel burn.

Question 14

What are the 3 types of EFPs?

Answer 14

• Simple
• Special
• Complex

Question 15

What is the EO ACCEL HT for all simple EFPs?

Answer 15

1000’ AGL

Question 16

How is the EO ACCEL HT determined for Special and Complex procedures?

Answer 16

Subtract the respective airport elevation from the FRA in the SPECIAL ENG FAIL section.

Question 17

What is the significance of NOTAMS listed in the RUNWAY INFO section?

Answer 17

If shown, performance restrictions are already taken into account by Aerodata.

Question 18

What does is significance of the following example from the TURN column of SPECIAL ENG FAIL section

-LT OAK

Answer 18

The “-“ that precedes the the turn direction means the crew must refer to the text below the procedure for additional info and/or alternate procedures.

Question 19

Where are Complex engine failure procedures listed?

Answer 19

They will be included in the Briefing Package. They are too complex to write in a TLR format.

Question 20

When is the LANDING DATA of the TLR void with regards to the PQNH?

Answer 20

If actual QNH is more than 0.10” below PQNH.

• Same as TAKEOFF DATA

Question 21

What are our options if LANDING DATA of TLR is void?

Answer 21

Crew can use the QRH charts to determine landing distance or contact the dispatcher for a live calculation.

Question 22

What is the PMRLW?

Answer 22

MAX RUNWAY LANDING WEIGHT

• This is the maximum landing weight, to the planned runway, as limited by approach climb, landing climb, and field limits, whichever is most restrictive.

Question 23

What is the default PACKS setting used for PMRLW?

Answer 23

PACKS ON

Question 24

All LANDING DATA on the TLR is for what FLAPS setting?

Answer 24

FLAPS 25

Question 25

What does the following example from the LANDING PERFORMANCE section indicate? 4373F/3977F

Answer 25

MLW on a dry runway on left side of hash, | MLW on a wet/low viz runway on right side of hash

Question 26

What do limit codes of B, C, F, and T represent?

Answer 26

B - Brake Limit C - Climb Limit F - Field Limit T - Tire Limit

Question 27

Why are 15PCT FACTOR LDG DIST sections included in our TLRs?

Answer 27

To comply with Regulation recommendations. The distances are shown in feet and are calculated using a flare distance of 1500' while factoring the autobrake landing distance by 1.15.

Question 28

What distance should we add to LDG DIST if using AUTOLAND?

Answer 28

1000' (Per Limitations)

Question 29

With respect to weight, what three conditions will void a TLR?

Answer 29

- If actual TOW is greater than PTOW + 10,000KG or MPFTW - If actual ZFW is greater than the OFP ZFW + 10,000KG - Performance related DDG item omitted.

Question 30

Where can we find what type of engines are equipped on A/C?

Answer 30

Flight Plan, TLR, CDU

Question 31

When is the MT value entered into the FMC as assumed temperature?

Answer 31

When the CONFIG is D-TO 2, D-TO 1, or D-TO. The "D" indicates assumed temperature and is designed to match the Thrust Reference Mode only. MT is the maximum temperature for which takeoff is allowed.

Question 32

Which A/C have a variable ZFW? What's the range of the VZFW?

Answer 32

- Nose Loaders in Atlas Colors (No POLAR) | - 276,691kg to 288,031kg

Question 33

Variable ZFW coincides with which respective zone on the W&B chart?

Answer 33

Zone 4

Question 34

What is the significance of zone #2 on the W&B chart?

Answer 34

Falls within the Low Gross Weight/AFT CG Takeoff Procedures found in SP Procedures, FCOM VOL 1 * Read the note on the chart

Question 35

Where are MU Values found?

Answer 35

Back of the QRH

Question 36

What does the FAR RSV number include on the flight plan?

Answer 36

FAR Reserves: - Domestic (0.45 cruise fuel) - Int'l (0.30 holding fuel @1500' AFE) or no alternate available (2.00 cruise fuel), as applicable.

Question 37

What does the FAR 10% fuel number include on the flight plan?

Answer 37

10% reserve fuel (and corresponding flight time) based on the flight time between the ORIG and DEST, or POR and DEST, whichever is less. Columns two and three indicate the 10% reserve fuel (and corresponding flight time) for each respective flight segment.

Question 38

What is the SMRGN distance?

Answer 38

Stop Margin Distance * RTO within 2 seconds of V1, using Max Braking/RTO and Speed Brakes. Distance remaining after aircraft comes to a stop is the SMRGN.
