Air Data Inertial Reference System. (ADIRU)
On Battery (ON BAT) Light
Illuminated (white) – airplane battery powers ADIRU.

Note: The ON BAT light illuminates when the ADIRU switch is


selected ON and ground power or primary power is subsequently
removed or fails (battery power only remains).
Ref.11.10.9
ADIRU Switch
ON – applies power to ADIRU.
OFF – removes power when airspeed is less than 30 knots.
If the switch is inadvertently turned off when airspeed is greater than 30 kts, the ADIRU
remains powered

The ADIRS calculates airplane altitude, attitude, airspeed, heading, and position data for the
displays, flight management system, flight controls, engine controls, and other systems.

The ADIRS provides:


1. Primary, secondary and standby air data
2. Inertial reference information.

The major components of ADIRS are


1. One air data inertial reference unit 4. Two angle–of–attack vanes
(ADIRU) 5. Three pitot probes
2. One secondary attitude air data 6. Six static ports
reference unit (SAARU). 7. Eight air data modules
3. One total air temperature probe.

the air data inertial reference unit (ADIRU), secondary attitude and air data reference unit
(SAARU), and air data modules.

Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU)


The ADIRU is the primary source for speed, altitude, attitude and inertial navigation position
information. The ADIRU is fault–tolerant and fully redundant.
The ADIRU processes information measured by its internal gyros and accelerometers,
and from air data module inputs, angle–of–attack vanes and other systems. 10.20.14

ADIRU Power
Initial power–up requires battery bus power and the ADIRU switch to be ON. If the ADIRU
is switched off, it must complete a full realignment cycle before the airplane can be moved. If
electrical power is subsequently removed from the airplane and the Battery switch is switched
OFF, the hot battery bus continues to supply electrical power to the ADIRU.
The ON BAT light illuminates, and the horn in the landing gear wheel well sounds to alert
maintenance personnel the ADIRU is on battery power.
When the ADIRU switch is OFF, the ADIRU remains powered for a few seconds.

Secondary Attitude Air Data Reference Unit (SAARU) Ref. 11.20.4
The SAARU is the secondary source for speed, altitude, and attitude information.
The SAARU processes information measured by its internal gyros and accelerometers, and
from air data module inputs, angle–of–attack vanes, and other systems.
If the ADIRU fails, the SAARU automatically supplies:
Attitude, Heading, and Air data.
SAARU heading must be manually set to the standby compass magnetic heading periodically.
If ADIRU inertial data fails, the EICAS caution message NAV ADIRU INERTIAL displays.
The SAARU supplies attitude data to the PFD and three minutes of backup heading. The heading is
based on ADIRU heading prior to failure.
The CDU POS INIT page displays the SET HDG prompt three minutes after ADIRU failure.
Use the SET HDG prompt to periodically set the SAARU heading to the standby compass

Flight Control Surfaces
Pitch control is provided by:
• Two elevators
• Amovable horizontal stabilizer.
The two elevators and horizontal stabilizer work
together to provide pitch control.

Roll control is provided by:


• Two flaperons
• Two ailerons
• Fourteen spoilers.
The flaperons and ailerons provide roll control,
assisted by asymmetric spoilers.

Yaw control is provided by:


• Single rudder
• Partial span tab.
Yaw control is provided by a single rudder, which is
almost the same height as the vertical tail. The lower
portion of the rudder has a hinged section (tab) that
deflects twice as far as the main rudder surface to
provide additional yaw control authority.
During takeoff, the rudder becomes aerodynamically
effective at approximately 60 knots.

Flight Control System Normal Mode


In the normal mode during manual flight, the ACEs
receive pilot control inputs and send these signals to
the three PFCs. The PFCs verify these signals and
information from other airplane systems in order to
compute control surface commands. These
commands are then sent back to the ACES. The four
ACES send enhanced signals to the flight control
surface actuators.
When the autopilot is engaged, the autopilot system
sends commands to the PFCs.

The PFCs generate control surface commands, which


are then sent to the ACEs in the same manner as pilot
control inputs. The autopilot commands move the
pilot controls to provide indications of what the
autopilot is doing. If the pilot overrides the autopilot
with control inputs, the PFCs disconnect the autopilot
and use the pilot control inputs. The autopilot is only
available during normal mode operation.

Flight Envelope Protection


The flight envelope protection system reduces the
possibility of inadvertently exceeding the airplane's
flight envelope. The flight envelope protection system
provides crew awareness of envelope margins
through tactile, aural, and visual cues. The protection
functions do not reduce pilot control

authority. There are three forms of flight envelope protection in the autopilot:

Jabir J. Al Harbi Page 18


8 February 2015
Stall protection ,
Overspeed protection
and Roll envelope bank angle protection.
Ref. 9.20.6 Ref.4.20.20
Stall Protection
Stall protection limits the speed to which the airplane can be trimmed. At approximately
the minimum maneuvering speed, stall protection limits the trim reference speed so that
trim is inhibited in the nose up direction. Ref. 9.20.11
The autothrottle can support stall protection when armed and not activated. If speed decreases to
near stick shaker activation, the autothrottle automatically activates in the appropriate mode (SPD
or THR REF) and advances thrust to maintain minimum maneuvering speed (approximately the top
of the amber band) or the speed set in the mode control speed window, whichever is greater. The
EICAS message AIRSPEED LOW displays.
Note: When the pitch mode is FLCH or TOGA, or the airplane is below 400 feet above the airport on
takeoff, or below 100 feet radio altitude on approach, the autothrottle will not automatically activate.
Ref.4.20.9
Flight Control System Secondary Mode
When the PFCs can no longer support the normal
mode due to internal faults or lack of required
information from other airplane systems, they
automatically revert to the secondary mode. The
ACEs continue to receive pilot control inputs and
send these signals to the three PFCs. However, the
PFCs use simplified computations to generate
flight control surfaces commands. These
simplified commands are sent back to the ACEs,
where they are sent to the control surface actuators
the same way as in the normal mode. The
simplified PFC control laws used in the secondary
mode affect airplane handling qualities. All flight
control surfaces remain operable. The elevator and
rudder are more sensitive at some airspeeds.
Ref. 9.20.8

The EICAS caution message FLIGHT CONTROL MODE is displayed when the primary flight
control system is in the secondary mode. The secondary mode cannot be manually selected.

Flight Control System Direct Mode


The ACEs automatically transition to the direct
mode when they detect the failure of all three
PFCs or lose communication with the PFCs. The
direct mode can also be manually selected by
moving the PRIMARY FLIGHT COMPUTERS
DISCONNECT switch to DISC.
In the direct mode, the PFCs no longer generate
control surface commands. Pilot inputs received
by the ACEs are sent directly to the control surface
actuators.
The direct mode provides full airplane control for
continued safe flight and landing. Airplane
handling qualities are approximately the same as
in the secondary mode. The EICAS caution message PRI FLIGHT COMPUTERS is displayed when
the system is in the direct mode. Ref. 9.20.9

Power to one or both of the main AC busses is lost
Approach (APP) mode is selected for auto land
The system is automatically tested after engine
starts.
The system transfers power without interruption.

Only one backup generator can power the converter at


a time through a frequency converter that converts the
generator frequency to a constant 400 Hz.

Each backup generator contains two permanent magnet


generators (PMGs) that supply power to the flight control DC electrical system (refer to DC
Electrical System).

Flight Control DC Electrical System


Primary power for the flight control DC electrical system comes from permanent magnet generators
(PMGs) housed within each backup generator. Variable frequency PMG AC power is used by individual
power supply assemblies (PSAs) to provide DC power to the three flight control DC busses.
To ensure a high level of system reliability, each PSA also has multiple DC power sources. If primary
PMG AC power is not available, secondary power for the left and right PSAs is provided by the related
main DC bus. Secondary power for the center PSA is provided by the captain’s flight instrument bus.
The hot battery bus provides additional backup power for the left and center PSAs only. Each PSA also
uses a dedicated battery to prevent power interruptions to the related flight control DC bus. The batteries
have limited capacity and are incorporated to supply power for brief periods during PSA power source
transfers.

Standby Electrical System
The standby electrical system can supply AC and DC power to selected flight instruments,
communications and navigation systems, and the flight control system, if there are primary electrical
power system failures.
The standby electrical system consists of:
The main battery
The standby inverter
The RAT generator and its associated generator control unit
The C1 and C2 TRUs.
If both IDGs and the APU generator are inoperative, a backup generator powers essential airplane
equipment. To reduce electrical loading on the backup generator, the following systems are inoperative:
TCAS
SATCOM
HZ-AKA - HZ-AKW
Right HF radio
HZ-AK11 - HZ-AK22
Right HF radio and associated datalink
Center tank override/jettison pumps (center tank fuel is unusable and cannot be jettisoned)
Position and other exterior lights (except nose gear landing lights)
All non-essential cabin equipment (galleys, entertainment systems, etc.)
Passenger cabin lighting (except night, galley and cross-aisle lights)
Cabin temperature control (remains operative, but in degraded mode).

Electrical Load Management System (ELMS)


The ELMS provides load management and protection to ensure power is available to
critical and essential equipment.
If the electrical loads exceed the power available (airplane or external), ELMS automatically
sheds AC loads by priority until the loads are within the capacity of the airplane or ground
power generators.
The load shedding is galleys first, then utility busses. Utility busses are followed by
individual equipment items powered by the main AC busses.
When an additional power source becomes available or the loads decrease, ELMS restores
power to shed systems (in the reverse order).
The message LOAD SHED displays on the electrical synoptic when load shed conditions exist.
The ELMS also provides inputs for display of EICAS messages for manual center tank fuel
pump shut off during climb/cruise, and automatic shut off to prevent unintentional dry fuel
pump operation when the center fuel tank is empty.

Electronic Engine Control (EEC) Mode Switch
NORM –
Selects the normal engine control mode for engine
control
The EEC sets thrust using N1 RPM as the controlling
parameter.

Off (ALTN visible) –


Selects the alternate engine control mode for engine control
Thrust is set using N1 RPM as the controlling parameter.
Electronic Engine Control (EEC) Alternate (ALTN) Light
Illuminated (amber) – the alternate engine control mode is either automatically or manually selected.

EEC Normal Mode


In the normal mode, the EEC sets thrust by controlling N1 based on thrust lever position. N1 is
commanded by positioning the thrust levers either automatically with the auto throttles, or manually by
the flight crew.
Maximum N1 represents the maximum rated thrust available from the engine.
The EEC continuously computes maximum N1.
Maximum rated thrust is available in any phase of flight by moving the thrust levers to the full forward
positions.

EEC Alternate Mode


If the required signals are not available to operate in the normal mode, the EEC automatically uses the
alternate mode. In the alternate mode, the EEC schedules N1 as a function of thrust lever position.
The alternate mode provides soft and hard levels of control:

Soft – When the EEC automatically switches an engine to the alternate mode and the EEC
mode switch remains in NORM, the EEC is in the soft alternate mode (the switch position is
NORM, the EEC mode is alternate). At a fixed thrust lever position, thrust does not change.

Hard – When ALTN is manually selected on an EEC mode switch, that engine is switched to
the hard alternate mode (the switch position is ALTN, the EEC mode is alternate). Reference
and target N1, and maximum and commanded N1 values are displayed on the N1 indication
during the hard alternate mode. Thrust may change to set the commanded N1 when ALTN is
manually selected.

For the normal, soft alternate, and hard alternate modes, actual, command, reference/target,
maximum, and red line N1 information is displayed.

Automatic reversion or manual selection to the alternate mode is indicated by the EICAS advisory
message ENG EEC MODE (L, R) and illumination of the EEC ALTN light on the associated EEC
mode switch. Selecting the alternate mode on both engines eliminates thrust lever stagger at equal thrust
settings, or asymmetric thrust when the thrust levers are operated together.

The autothrottles remain engaged whenever the EEC automatically switches to the alternate mode. The
alternate mode N1 reference/target values are computed by the FMC.

TOC
Jabir J. Al Harbi Page 33
8 February 2015
TOC
Note: Autothrottles remains engaged in the soft or hard alternate mode.
The alternate mode schedule (N1 schedule) provides equal or greater thrust than the normal mode for
the same thrust lever position.
Thrust protection is not provided in the alternate mode and maximum rated thrust is reached at a thrust
lever position less than full forward. As a result, thrust overboost can occur at full forward thrust
lever positions. The EICAS caution message ENG LIMIT PROT (L, R) is displayed if the thrust lever
position commands an N1 greater than the maximum rated thrust (maximum N1). N1 and N2 red line
protection is still available in the alternate control mode.

Overspeed Protection
The EEC also provides N1 and N2 red line overspeed protection. If N1 or N2 approaches overspeed,
the EEC commands reduced fuel flow. The EICAS advisory message ENG RPM LIMITED (L or R) is
provided when overspeed protection is provided.

EEC Idle Selection


The EEC selects minimum idle or approach idle automatically. Minimum idle is a lower thrust than
approach idle. Approach idle is selected in flight if:
Engine anti–ice is operating
The flaps are commanded to 25 or greater
One hydraulic system air–driven demand pump is inoperative, and the flaps are out of the UP
position
The opposite engine bleed air valve is closed.

Thrust Control Malfunction Protection 7.20.6


The EEC provides protection against an uncontrolled high thrust malfunction during ground
operation. The EEC shuts down the affected engine when:
Airplane is on ground,
Thrust lever is at idle, and
Engine is above idle speed and not decelerating normally.
The EICAS caution message ENG FAIL (L or R) is displayed when the engine falls below idle speed.

START/IGNITION Selector
START –
Initiates engine start by opening the start valve
Releases to NORM at start valve cutout.
NORM –
The start valve closes
Ignition is automatically provided during engine start-up or if engine flameout occurs (if the
FUEL CONTROL switch is in RUN).

CON – Both ignitors operate continuously (if the FUEL CONTROL switch is in RUN) when:
On ground above approximately 55% N1 with takeoff flaps set, or
in flight.

AUTOSTART Switch
ON – arms the auto start system.
OFF –
The auto start system is disabled
The start is manually controlled.

AUTOSTART OFF Light


Illuminated (amber) – the AUTOSTART switch is OFF.

During autostart, the EEC monitors EGT, N2 RPM, and other engine parameters until the engine
reaches idle. During ground start, the autostart system monitors engine parameters and will abort the
start for any of the following:

3 Start Attempts Only 1 Start Attempt


1. Hot start 5. No N1 rotation
2. Hung start 6. Insufficient air pressure for starter operation
3. No EGT rise 7. Starter shaft failure
4. Compressor stall 8. Start time exceeds the starter duty cycle timer

Note: The autostart system does not monitor oil pressure and temperature.

If a hot start, hung start, no EGT rise, or compressor stall is detected, and N2 RPM is less than starter
cutout speed,
the EEC turns off fuel and ignition and motors the engine for 4 seconds before making a second or
third attempt.
The second attempt uses both ignitors. If the second attempt fails,
a third attempt is made by adjusting the starting fuel flow. If N2 RPM is greater than starter cutout
speed, the EEC turns off fuel and ignition, closes the starter air valve and allows the engine to spool
down below 30 percent N2 RPM. It then reopens the starter air valve and motors the engine before
re-introducing fuel and ignition for subsequent attempt(s).

On the ground, if all attempts fail,


the EEC aborts the start. Fuel and ignition are shut off and the engine is motored for 30 seconds
to clear residual fuel.
The starter air valve then closes and the START/IGNITION selector releases to the NORM
position. The EICAS caution message ENG AUTOSTART (L or R) is displayed.
Ref.7.20.7
On the ground, autostart does not attempt a second or third start if there is:
• No N1rotation,
• Insufficient air pressure,
• The starter shaft fails,
• The EGT exceeds the red line limit,
• Or the start time exceeds the starter duty cycle. Ref. 7.20.8

In–Flight Start.
Secondary engine indications are displayed automatically when a FUEL CONTROL switch is moved
to CUTOFF in flight or if N2 RPM goes below idle RPM while in flight. A crossbleed start indication
is displayed next to the N2 indication if airspeed is below that recommended for a windmilling start.

For in–flight starts, autostart makes continuous start attempts until the engine either starts or the
pilot aborts the start attempt by positioning the FUEL CONTROL switch to CUTOFF (and
positioning the start switch to NORM if it was a starter assisted attempt). Ref. 7.20.8

Fuel Jettison
Fuel jettison is initiated by pushing the FUEL JETTISON ARM switch to select ARMED.
The jettison system automatically sets the fuel–to–remain to the MLW fuel quantity. The TO REMAIN
quantity replaces fuel temperature on the EICAS display.
Pull on and rotate the FUEL TO REMAIN selector to manually decrease or increase the TO REMAIN
quantity.
Main tank jettison begins when:
• the FUEL JETTISON NOZZLE switches are pushed ON
• the jettison nozzle valves open, and
• the main tank jettison pumps operate.
If the center tank override/jettison pumps are on, center tank fuel also jettisons.
Center tank fuel will not jettison if the center tank override/jettison pumps are off.

You may Determine the approximate jettison time using the following rates:
Fuel in center tank: 2500 kgs/minute
Center tank empty 1400 kgs/minute
Ref. QRH 12.2
The nozzles cannot open on the ground, regardless of switch positions.

In flight, jettison time displays in minutes on the fuel synoptic when the FUEL JETTISON ARM switch
is ARMED. Jettison time increases with an increase in altitude. Jettison automatically stops when a
value just above the TO REMAIN quantity is reached. The system shuts off the main tank jettison
pumps and closes the center tank jettison isolation valves.
When the airplane is heavy and loaded near the forward CG, fuel is jettisoned from the center tank first
to keep CG within limits; main tank jettison pump operation is delayed. The computed jettison time is
automatically adjusted to reflect the increased jettison time.
HZ-AKA - HZ-AKW
At least 5,200 kilograms of fuel remains in each main tank after jettison is complete.
HZ-AK11 - HZ-AK22
At least 3,800 kilograms of fuel remains in each main tank after jettison is complete.

fuel to the APU when AC power is not available and the APU selector is ON.
A single pump can supply sufficient fuel to operate one engine under all conditions.
The center tank pumps override the main tank pumps so that center tank fuel is used before
wing tank fuel.
The center tank fuel pumps will shut off automatically after 15 seconds of continuous low
pressure.
The auto-shutoff feature is disabled during jettison.
Surge tanks are provided in each wing, outboard of each main tank. Fuel in the surge tanks and
fuel remaining in the refueling manifold is drained into the main tanks.
With the main tank pumps ON, a scavenge system operates automatically to transfer any
remaining center tank fuel to the main tanks. Fuel transfer begins when either main tank
quantity is less than 23,900 kilograms. Center tank quantity must be below 15,900 kilograms.

Autobrake – Disarm
The autobrake system disarms and the EICAS advisory message AUTOBRAKE is displayed if any of
the following occur:
• Pedal braking applied
• Either thrust lever advanced after landing
• Speedbrake lever is moved to the DOWN detent after the speedbrakes have deployed on the
ground
• DISARM or OFF position selected on the AUTOBRAKE selector.
• Autobrake fault.
• Normal antiskid system fault.
• Loss of inertial data from the ADIRU.
• The autobrake is applied after loss of normal brake hydraulic pressure.

1, 2, 3, 4, MAX AUTO – selects the desired deceleration rate.


Autobrake application begins when:
• Both thrust levers are retarded to idle, and
• The wheels have spun up.

Auto brake application occurs slightly after main gear touchdown.

If MAX AUTO is selected, deceleration is limited to the AUTOBRAKE 4 level until pitch angle is less
than one degree, then deceleration is increased to the MAX AUTO level.

The deceleration level can be changed (without disarming the system) by rotating the selector.

RTO – automatically applies maximum brake pressure when the thrust levers are retarded to idle above
85 knots

Integrated Standby Flight Display (ISFD)
HZ-AK11 - HZ-AK22
Provides an independent source of attitude, airspeed, and altitude information
Info: The ISFD displays attitude, airspeed, altitude, ILS, and magnetic heading
information. The ISFD receives airspeed and altitude from a dedicated pitot and static
air data module. Attitude information is provided by internal inertial sensors.
ILS information is provided by the center ILS receiver. The display receives its heading
information from the same source as the captain’s primary flight display. Heading
information is not available in polar regions.
Note: The standby magnetic compass must be used to validate heading information.
The left FCDC bus powers the ISFD. The left FCDC is initially powered when the main ac busses are powered
and remains powered with the main busses out. Ten seconds after receiving power, a 90 second initialization
sequence begins. ATT and INIT 90s messages display during initialization. Initialization will stop if airplane
movement is excessive and will resume when airplane movement is acceptable for initialization. Upon completion
of the initialization sequence, attitude information displays.

Maneuvers – Non-Normal Maneuvers

Rejected Takeoff

The Captain has the sole responsibility for the decision to reject the takeoff. The decision must be made
in time to start the rejected takeoff maneuver by V1. If the decision is to reject the takeoff, the Captain
must clearly announce “REJECT,” immediately start the rejected takeoff maneuver, and assume
control of the airplane. If the First Officer is making the takeoff, the First Officer must maintain control
of the airplane until the Captain makes a positive input to the controls.

Prior to 80 knots, the takeoff should be Above 80 knots and prior to V1, the
rejected for any of the following: takeoff should be rejected for any of the
following:

activation of the master caution system fire or fire warning


system failure(s) engine failure
unusual noise or vibration predictive windshear warning
tire failure if the airplane is unsafe or unable to fly
abnormally slow acceleration
takeoff configuration warning
fire or fire warning
engine failure
predictive windshear warning
if a side window opens
if the airplane is unsafe or unable to fly

During the takeoff, the crew member observing the non-normal situation will immediately call it out
as clearly as possible.

Traffic Avoidance

Immediately accomplish the following by recall whenever a TCAS traffic advisory (TA) or resolution
advisory (RA) occurs.

For TA:
Pilot Flying Pilot Monitoring
Look for traffic using traffic display as a guide. Call out any conflicting traffic
If traffic is sighted, maneuver if needed.

For RA, except a climb in landing configuration:


WARNING: A DESCEND (fly down) RA issued below 1000 feet AGL should not be followed.

Pilot Flying Pilot Monitoring


If maneuvering is required,
• disengage the autopilot and disconnect the
autothrottle.
• Smoothly adjust pitch and thrust to satisfy
the RA command.
• Follow the planned lateral flight path unless
visual contact with the conflicting traffic
requires other action.
Attempt to establish visual contact. Call out any conflicting traffic.

Upset Recovery

An upset can generally be defined as unintentionally exceeding the following conditions:


• pitch attitude greater than 25 degrees nose up, or
• pitch attitude greater than 10 degrees nose down, or
• bank angle greater than 45 degrees, or
• within above parameters but flying at airspeeds inappropriate for the conditions

The following techniques represent a logical progression for recovering the airplane. The sequence of
actions is for guidance only and represents a series of options to be considered and used depending on
the situation. Not all the actions may be necessary once recovery is underway. If needed, use pitch trim
sparingly. Careful use of rudder to aid roll control should be considered only if roll control is ineffective
and the airplane is not stalled.
These techniques assume that the airplane is not stalled. A stalled condition can exist at any attitude and
may be recognized by continuous stick shaker activation accompanied by one or more of the following:
• buffeting, which could be heavy at times
• lack of pitch authority and/or roll control
• inability to arrest descent rate
If the airplane is stalled, recovery from the stall must be accomplished first by applying and maintaining
nose down elevator until stall recovery is complete and stick shaker activation ceases.

Windshear encountered during takeoff roll:

• If windshear is encountered prior to V1, there may not be sufficient runway remaining to stop
if an RTO is initiated at V1. At VR, rotate at a normal rate toward a 15 degree pitch attitude.
Once airborne, perform the Windshear Escape Maneuver.

• If windshear is encountered near the normal rotation speed and airspeed suddenly decreases,
there may not be sufficient runway left to accelerate back to normal takeoff speed. If there is
insufficient runway left to stop, initiate a normal rotation at least 2,000 feet before the end of
the runway even if airspeed is low.

• Higher than normal attitudes may be required to lift off in the remaining runway. Ensure
maximum thrust is set.

• Predictive windshear warning during approach: (“GO-AROUND, WINDSHEAR AHEAD”


aural)

• perform Windshear Escape Maneuver or, at pilot’s discretion, perform a normal go-around

Windshear encountered in flight:

• perform the Windshear Escape Maneuver


Note: The following are indications the airplane is in windshear:
• windshear warning (two-tone siren followed by
“WINDSHEAR,WINDSHEAR,WINDSHEAR”) or
• unacceptable flight path deviations

Note: Unacceptable flight path deviations are recognized as uncontrolled changes from normal steady
state flight conditions below 1000 feet AGL, in excess of any of the following:

• 15 knots indicated airspeed


• 500 FPM vertical speed
• 5 degrees pitch attitude
• 1 dot displacement from the glideslope
• unusual thrust lever position for a significant period of time

Windshear Escape Maneuver

MANUAL FLIGHT
Pilot Flying Pilot Monitoring
• Disengage autopilot • Assure maximum* thrust
• Push either TO/GA switch • Verify all required actions have been
• Aggressively apply maximum* thrust completed and call out any omissions
• Disconnect autothrottle(s)
• Simultaneously roll wings level and rotate
toward an initial pitch attitude of 15°
• Retract speedbrakes
• Follow flight director TO/GA guidance (if
available)

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT
Pilot Flying Pilot Monitoring
• Press either TO/GA switch** • Assure maximum* thrust
• Verify TO/GA mode annunciation • Verify all required actions have been
• Verify thrust advances to GA power completed and call out any omissions
• Retract speedbrakes
• Monitor system performance***
• Do not change gear or flap configuration • Monitor vertical speed and altitude
until windshear is no longer a factor • Call out any trend toward terrain contact,
• Monitor vertical speed and altitude descending flight path, or significant
• Do not attempt to regain lost airspeed until airspeed changes
windshear is no longer a factor

Note: Aft control column force increases as the airspeed decreases. In all cases, the pitch attitude that
results in intermittent stick shaker or initial buffet is the upper pitch attitude limit. Flight at intermittent
stick shaker may be required to obtain positive terrain separation. Smooth, steady control will avoid a
pitch attitude overshoot and stall.

Note: * Maximum thrust can be obtained by advancing the thrust levers full forward if the EECs are in
the normal mode. If terrain contact is imminent, advance thrust levers full forward.

Note: ** If TO/GA is not available, disconnect autopilot and autothrottle(s) and fly manually.

WARNING: *** Severe windshear may exceed the performance capability of the AFDS. The pilot
flying must be prepared to disconnect the autopilot and autothrottle(s) and fly manually.
