Section 1

CHECKLIST AND CREW COORDINATION

* Items is italics may not apply to all aircraft.

 

GENERAL

 

The procedures to follow under normal conditions are described in this chapter. To clearly establish which pilot should accomplish a particular task, the terms "pilot flying" (PF) and "pilot not flying" (PNF) are used. The pilot handling the controls is the "pilot flying" whether Captain or First Officer.

 

 

USE OF THE NORMAL CHECKLIST

 

The normal checklist covers important items to be checked prior to the more critical phases of operation. The crew should accomplish the items in an orderly manner at the appropriate time, then confirm their accomplishment by reading and responding to the checklist when specified. For example, operational checks which require a significant length of time should be done prior to reading the Before Start checklist.

 

Items in italics apply apply only to that portion of the fleet or operation. If the item does not apply to the aircraft or operation, omit it from thee reading of the checklist. 

 

Items in BOLD require a response from both members. 

Items on the Descent/Approach checklist preceded and followed by a dot (.) are read aloud by the PNF and the PF responds.

 

When a checklist response is "Check," this indicates the control is in the desired position, but not necessarily operationally checked. For example, "EXTERIOR LIGHTS ........CK" indicates that the exterior light controls have been visually checked for proper position, not that the lights operate. When the operational check of a system is required, the response is two-fold, such as "RADIOS .............ON & CK"

 

 

READING AND RESPONSE

 

Before Start - The PNF reads aloud and the PF responds. At through stations, where there is no mechanical delay or crew change, only the boxed items need to be read.

 

After Start - The PNF reads aloud and the PF responds.

 

Taxi - The First Officer reads aloud and the Captain responds. The First Officer also responds to the flaps/slats item.

 

Delayed Engine Start - The First Officer reads and the Captain responds.

 

Before Takeoff - The First Officer reads aloud and the Captain responds.

 

After Takeoff - The PNF silently checks all items.

Descent/Approach - The PNF reads and responds to all items except the bold print items and those preceded and followed by a .. The PNF reads those items and the PF responds. The PNF also responds to the bold print item.

 

Short Leg Descent/Approach - Accomplishment in the same manner as Descent/Approach.

 

Landing - The PNF reads the bold print items aloud and the PF responds. The PNF also responds to the bold print items. The PNF reads the spoilers item and the PF responds. The PNF reads and responds aloud to the remaining items.

 

After Landing - The First Officer silently checks all items.

 

Secure Cockpit - The PNF reads aloud and the PF responds.

 

 

ACCOMPLISHMENT

 

The following outlines when the carious checklist sections are accomplished. However, it is recognized that conditions can dictate some deviation. 

 

Before Start - When the crew is in the cockpit and after the time consuming checks are completed.

 

After Start - When engine(s) are stabilized at idle RPM and prior to brake release for station departure.

 

Taxi - After flaps/slats are in the takeoff position, weight closeout data received, and prior to reaching the runway, the Captain calls for the Taxi checklist. This may be accomplished during single engine taxi.

 

Delayed Engine Start - After single engine taxi when both engines are stabilized at idle RPM.

 

Before Takeoff - Approaching the takeoff end of the runway and takeoff clearance is anticipated.

 

After Takeoff - Any time after flaps/slats retraction and climb power is set. 

 

Descent/Approach - Upon leaving flight level 180. On low level flights, about fifteen minutes before estimated time of arrival or before beginning descent.

 

Short Leg Descent/Approach - This checklist may be used on short flights or in an emergency situation in no After Takeoff checklist items have been accomplished. 

 

Landing - After confirming the aircraft is in the landing configuration, the PF calls for the Landing checklist.

 

After Landing - When clear of the runway and Captain has called for both the appropriate flap setting and After Landing checklist. 

 

Secure Cockpit - After both engines are shut down.

GATE PUSHOUT

 

The engines may be started before, during, or after gate pushout.

 

 

BEFORE MOVING

 

Complete the Before Start checklist

 

The Captain must be in interphone contact with ground personnel.

 

 

WHEN READY FOR PUSHOUT

 

The engines may be started before, during or after pushback. When ready for pushback, release the brakes and then press the PB button on the simicon panel. The green LED indicates that the Pushback is active. This will activate a straight pushback. A 90 degree turn is available by pressing the left or right turn buttons during the push. There will be a slight delay after pushing the turn button before the aircraft starts to turn. The push can be stopped at any time by pressing the PB button again. 

 

 

NORMAL ENGINE START

 

When conditions permit and taxi times are adequate for engine warm up, single engine taxi procedures should be used.

 

When ready to start, place air conditioning supply switches OFF, place beacon light switch ON. Check pneumatic pressure for minimum of 36 PSI. Select ignition A when the captain is flying and ignition B if the first officer is flying. 

 

Place and hold the engine start switch to ON. 

 

Check START VALVE OPEN light comes on, and pneumatic pressure drops. Observe N2 rotation within 10 seconds.

 

Check for oil pressure increasing.

 

Place fuel lever to ON at maximum motoring N2 and EGT below 100C and minimum 5% N1. Maximum motoring is an N2 rotor speed that is stabilized and failing to increase for one to two seconds.

 

Check for fuel flow less than 1,100 pph and EGT rise within 20 seconds. Monitor N2 and EFT for normal indications.

 

At 40% N2 the start switch should return to normal. Check the START VALVE OPEN light goes out.

 

Check for stabilized idle with OIL PRESS LOW and OIL STRAINER CLOGGING lights out.

 

The air conditioning supply switch may be placed from OFF to AUTO and the respective pneumatic crossfeed closed after the engine stabilizes at idle (51-61% N2)

 

Use the same procedure to start the other engine.

 

After engine(s) are started, place the ignition selector OFF.

 

 

AFTER START CHECKLIST AMPLIFICATION

    Check both operating generators for AC load indications. If generator is found to be inoperative, cycle the generator switch to RESET and back

    to ON.

 

    Check the battery charge rate and confirm that all DC load meters are indicating an output from the respective TR.

 

2. APU ...........................................................................................CK

 

    The APU may be left running for air conditioning during taxi, delayed engine start, or as a electrical source in flight. If the takeoff is to be made in

    heavy rain or slush, it is recommended that the APU be kept running with the L & R APU bus power switches ON. 

 

    If the APU is no longer required, place the APU air switch to OFF. Allow the APU to cool for one minute and then place the APU master switch

    to OFF. The APU will shut down approximately after approximately one minute. This provides a total of two minutes of APU cooling.

 

3. ENGINE ANTI-ICE ...........................................................______

 

    Respond "ON" or "OFF" as appropriate. If engine anti-ice is to be used, check that the ENG ANTI-ICE ON lights are on and the 

    ENG VALVE lights are off for the engine(s) that have been started.

 

    In engine anti-ice is not to be used, check that the switches are off and all ENG ANTI-ICE ON and ENG VALVE lights are off.

 

4. AIR CONDITIONING .........................................................AUTO

 

    When engine is stabilized at idle, place the associated supply switch to AUTO and close the associated pneumatic crossfeed valve. When 

    moving the supply switch check that supply pressure gauge indicates pressure in pack.

 

    One pneumatic crossfeed valve may be opened to allow APU air to augment the respective air conditioning system. The APU air switch must

    be OFF before takeoff.

 

    Verify ram air switch is OFF.

 

5. DOOR LIGHTS ......................................................................OUT

 

6. BEACON LIGHTS ...................................................................ON

An engine that has been shut down for more than 2 hours should be warmed up for 5 minutes at normal taxi thrust settings.

 

Start both engines if conditions such as heavy weight, slope, tight maneuvering space, etc., would require use of excessive thrust to leave the gate area. Consider shutting down one engine when clear of the gate area.

 

Before shutdown, open the appropriate pneumatic crossfeed valve to allow both packs to operate using APU air.

 

Crossfeed as necessary to maintain fuel balance.

 

When ready to start/restart engine, place air conditioning supply switch for engine being started to OFF.

 

Continue with normal start procedures. 

 

Complete the Delayed Engine Start checklist.

 

 

FLAPS

 

After taxi from the gate, place the flaps to the takeoff position required for the runway to be used.

 

 

ENGINE ANTI-ICING

 

Engine anti-icing must be on for taxi and takeoff when the temperature is below 6C and any of the following conditions exist:

 

    Visible moisture (fog of one mile visibility or less, rain, drizzle, or snow) is present.

 

    The dewpoint is within 3C of the ambient tamperature.

 

    There is standing water or wet snow on the runway.

 

To prevent ice build up during taxi, every ten minutes the engines are to be accelerated to 70% N1 for 15 seconds.

 

Do not use engine anti-ice if RAT is 10C or above.

 

 

LOAD CLOSEOUT

 

During taxi out, you will receive a printer message indicating that the Load Closeout is available. The Load Closeout contains the final numbers for departure and is used to verify the information on the TPS report. (See the performance chapter.)

TAKEOFF

 

TAKEOFF

 

When takeoff is imminent, chime the cabin by pressing ATTENDANT CALL button once.

 

 

GENERAL

 

Advance the throttles and turn on the autothrottles. Press the EPR LIM button and observe that both engines stabilize at takeoff reference EPR. At 60 knots IAS, check that the flight mode annunciator displays CLMP in the throttle window. 

 

When using manual throttles, smoothly advance the throttles to takeoff EPR. Takeoff EPR must be set by 60 knots. 

 

If the takeoff warning sounds, immediate action is required. React to the voice warning. If any discrepancy cannon be corrected immediately, or if the warning continues, the takeoff should be aborted.

 

If an engine fails, or if other abnormal conditions require a rejected takeoff prior to V1, the Rejected Takeoff procedure must be initiated without delay. The PNF will call out 80 knots, V1, and Vr. At Vr, smoothly rotate and continue through liftoff. When airborne, maintain the target attitude commanded by the flight director. Limit pitch to a maximum of 20 degrees.

 

When airborne with a positive rate of climb and at least V2, retract the gear. 

 

If a turn is required, limit bank to 15 degrees until attaining minimum maneuvering speed for existing flap/slat configuration.

 

 

DISTANT COMMUNITY NOISE ABATEMENT

 

Maintain takeoff flaps/slats and no less than V2 to V2 + 10 until reaching 1,000 feet above field elevation (AFE).

 

The minimum altitude for autopilot engagement is 500 feet AGL.

 

At 1,000 feet AFE establish a suitable climb gradient and select climb thrust on the TRP/TRI. If needed for operational considerations, takeoff thrust may be used for up to five minutes. Retract flaps/slats on schedule. During clean up it is desirable to climb at a minimum of 1,000 feet per minute.

 

Use the vertical speed control wheel to maintain acceleration schedule. Climb at clean maneuvering speed to 3,000 feet AFE.

 

At 3,000 feet AFE accelerate to climb speed using moderate climb attitude. Normal climb is 250 knots until 10,000 MSL and then 300 knots until you intercept .74 Mach. The finish the climb at .74 Mach.

 

 

REJECTED TAKEOFF

 

Apply maximum brakes and disconnect autothrottles while closing throttles.

 

Manually extend ground spoilers.

 

Apply reverse thrust.

 

Maintain directional control with rudder and brakes.

 

When conditions permit, complete applicable emergency procedures.

 

 

ENGINE FAILURE AFTER V1

 

Maintain directional control and rotate at Vr using normal rotation rate. Continue rotation to establish climb at V2 to V2 + 10.

 

When failure occurs after V2 and prior to initiating normal flap retraction, if speed is greater than V2 + 10, adjust pitch to maintain V2 + 10.

 

The flight director may be used as an aid to establish these climbout profiles.

 

When airborne with a positive rate of climb and at least V2, retract the gear. 

 

Maintain stabilized airspeed to E/O ACCEL altitude (800 feet AGL), and runway heading to 1,500 feet AFE.

 

At E/O ACCEL altitude, maintain level flight and retract flaps at "EXT" and slats at "0/RET." After flaps/slats are retracted, set maximum continuous thrust and climb to 1,500 feet AFE at single-engine climb speed (0/RET + 20).

 

If a turn is required, limit bank to 15 degrees until attaining minimum maneuvering speed for existing flap/slat configuration.

 

 

Section 7

 

CLIMB

 

CLIMB THRUST

 

If autothrottles are engaged, select CL on the TRP/TRI and check that both engines stabilize at the climb reference limit.

 

If autothrottles are not being used, manually set the thrust at the climb reference limit EPR determined from the TRP/TRI instrument. 

 

If the ART switch was OFF for takeoff, return switch to AUTO.

 

 

AFTER TAKEOFF CHECKLIST AMPLIFICATION 

 

1. SAT BELT & NO SMOKING ..................................................CK

 

    At or above 1,500 feet AFE, the Captain can cycle the NO SMOK switch OFF and ON to signal the end of the takeoff phase.

 

    At 10,000 feet MSL advise the flight attendants of the end of sterile cockpit by pressing the attendant call button once.

 

    When the seat belt sign is turned off, place the respective switch to AUTO. 

 

2. IGNITION .................................................................................CK

 

    If ignition is no longer needed, place selector to OFF>

 

3. FUEL SYSTEM .........................................................................CK

 

    Burn main tank (wing) fuel only after all other fuel has been burned.

 

    When the center tank indicates empty, turn both of its pumps OFF.

 

4. EXTERIOR LIGHTS ................................................................CK

 

    After gear retraction place nose gear light switch to OFF. When no longer required, place wing landing lights switch to RET, and logo, flood,

    wing nacl switched to OFF>

 

5. HYDRAULIC PUMPS ...............................................OFF & LOW

 

    Place the auxiliary and transfer pump switches to OFF. Place the engine hydraulic pump switches to LOW.

 

6. FLAP T/O SELECTOR .........................................................STOW

 

END

 

 

ANTI-ICE

 

When icing conditions are anticipated, use engine anti-ice. Icing conditions exist when the temperature is below +6C RAT and visible moisture is present. 

 

Prior to selecting engine anti-ice, place ignition on. After observing ENG ANTI-ICE ON annunciators for correct indications, and EPR and N1, have stabilized, ignition may be turned off subject to Captains discretion.

 

Use airfoil anti-ice if anticipation or encountering airframe icing conditions. Do not turn on airfoil anti-ice until 800 feet AFE after takeoff.

 

When using the two switch airfoil anti-ice system, initiate tail deicing every 20 minutes, after leaving deicing conditions, and prior to landing.

 

When using the single switch airfoil anti-ice system, check that the system is cycling normally. De-ice the tail prior to approach and landing.

 

Turn airfoil and engine anti-ice off when RAT is above +10C

 

 

NORMAL CLIMB SCHEDULE

 

Normal climb is 250 knots until 10,000 MSL and then 300 knots until you intercept .74 Mach. The finish the climb at .74 Mach.

 

 

PRESSURIZATION CHECK

 

When climbing through 10,000 feet check air supply, cabin altitude, differential pressure, pack switches, selected cruise altitude, and other pressurization controls and indicators.

 

 

ALTITUDE ALERT

 

Set and arm the flight guidance panel altitude preselect to each altitude assigned by ATC. 

 

Set all altitudes requiring level-off. Crossing altitudes may be set when this action does not interfere with outside traffic watch.

 

 

ALTIMETERS

 

Set the pilot's altimeter and the standby altimeter as follows:

 

    UNITED STATES, CANADA, PUERTO RICO, THE VIRGIN ISLANDS, and GUAM

 

        Change from local altimeter setting to standard, 29.92 in. Hg., when climbing through 17,500 feet MSL.

 

    MEXICO

 

        Change from local altimeter setting to standard when climbing through 18,500 feet MSL.

 

    ALL OTHER LOCATIONS

 

        Change from local altimeter setting to standard, 1013 hectopascals/milllibars, upon leaving the transition altitude.

 

 

ALTITUDE CALLOUTS

 

The pilot not flying advises the pilot flying:

 

    When climbing through 1,000 feet below the last assigned altitude for flight level.

 

    Example: "One to go"

 

    When reaching 17,500 feet or altimeter transition altitude, whichever is applicable.

 

    If altimeters are reset before reaching the Transition Altitude and ATC subsequently directs a level-off at an intermediate altitude, the altimeters

    are to be reset to MSL setting until, once again, cleared to a FL at or above the Transition Level.

 

 

STROBE LIGHTS

 

Strobe lights may be turned off during daylight hours when above FL180.

 

 

TURBULENCE PENETRATION

 

Before entering areas of anticipated turbulence, or after entering unexpected turbulence:

 

    Turn seat belt sign on.

 

    Place ignition switch on.

 

    Determine the best penetration altitude. When above 30,000 feet, do not climb to higher altitudes unless the storm can definitely be topped.

 

Adjust thrust as necessary to maintain turbulence penetration speed:

 

    280 KIAS or Mach .75-.79 whichever is less. 

 

    250 KIAS below 10,000 feet but not less than minimum maneuvering speed. 

 

The use of autopilot is recommended. 

 

With autopilot engaged:

 

    Avoid instinctive pilot action to oppose or soften autopilot corrections in the pitch axis since this may impose high G-loads on the aircraft.

    

    Select turbulence (TURB) mode. Altitude hold is disengaged and the pitch profile window displays existing pitch attitude. Pitch reference can 

    be adjusted by rotating the pitch control wheel. Autothrottle disengages with the disconnect light flashing.

    Leave stabilizer in a level flight setting and use moderate elevator forces to resist pitch changes.

 

    Use ailerons as required to maintain wings level.

 

    Disengage autothrottle

 

    Cautiously adjust thrust as required to maintain target airspeed. Keep thrust changes to a minimum and avoid large changes in thrust.

 

 

FLIGHT THROUGH HEAVY RAIN/HAIL

 

When heavy rain or hail is anticipated or encountered:

    

    Place ignition selector to SYSTEM A or B

 

    Open pneumatic crossfeed levers. 

 

    Use anti-icing as required for the existing conditions.

 

    Disengage the autothrottles

 

    Maintain at least 55% N1.

    Command "Flaps 15, trim throttles" ("flaps 11" for single engine.)

 

    With positive rate of climb, command "Gear up."

 

    At 1,000 feet AFE, accelerate for flap/slat retraction. Flaps/slats may be left extended depending upon flight conditions. 

 

    Assure spoilers are disarmed.

 

    G/A may be left on TRP/TRI if another approach is anticipated.

 

 

VISUAL APPROACH AND LANDING

 

When entering the downwind leg, select flaps to 11 or 15.

 

Reduce to not less than minimum maneuvering speed for flap configuration. When opposite approach end of the runway, extend the landing gear.

 

When turning base leg, select flaps 28.

 

Reduce to not less than minimum maneuvering speed.

 

When intercepting approach slot, start a normal descent. Select flaps 40.

 

Reduce to bug + 10. Run Landing Checklist. When stabilized in the slot, reduce to bug + 5 plus gust aditive.

 

Adjust sink rate as to be stabilized in trim as soon as practical but not later than 500 feet above field elevation.

 

Use airspeed indicators as the primary speed reference with the slow-fast indicators as backup.

 

Frequently crosscheck sink rate, pitch attitude, and visual position of the 1,000 foot touchdown target to maintain aircraft in the approach slot.

 

When reaching the touchdown point, initiate flare with a gentle rotation of 2 to 3 degrees and smoothly reduce the thrust to idle. Touchdown should occur as the throttles reach idle. Fly the aircraft onto the runway in the landing area. Do not increase pitch attitude further or the aircraft may float. Also, increasing pitch attitude may cause the aft body to contact the runway. 

 

After main gear touchdown, observe autospoiler operation. While lowering the nosewheel to the runway, select reverse thrust levers to interlock position.

 

    After nosewheel touchdown, apply normal reverse thrust up to 1.6 EPR (1.3 on wet runways). Max continuous thrust may be used if necessary.

 

If directional control becomes a problem while in reverse, reduce thrust. If necessary, return to forward thrust.

 

Delaying  application of brakes until at to below 100 knots, improves stopping capability. Spoilers and reverse thrust provide the most effective deceleration forces in the higher speed regime.

 

The pilot not flying calls "80 knots" and "60 knots" during landing roll. At 80 knots, start reducing thrust smoothly to reach forward idle by 60 knots.

 

Use brakes for the remaining landing roll.

 

When turning off the runway, check brake pressure and retract spoilers.

SINGLE ENGINE TAXI AFTER LANDING

 

Either engine may be shut down for taxi provided:

 

    Aircraft is clear of the runway.

 

    After landing checklist is complete.

 

    AC crosstie and remaining engine- driven generator are operating normally.

 

    Both hydraulic systems are operating normally with hydraulic pump switches HI and ON.

 

    Operate engines at idle for two minutes before shutdown after landing to reduce oil coking in bearing cavities and the possibility of thermal

    distortion of the turbine section. If the time from landing to gate arrival is less than two minutes, the engines may be shut down at gat arrival.
