Descent
Approach
Landing
Power
Back
Power
Back
is
the
procedure
whereby
after
engine
start,
with
no
pushback
crew
available,
the
crew
use
reverse
thrust
to
back
out
of
a
gate
or
parking
stand.
Special
attention
should
be
paid
to
ensure
that
all
ground
crew,
equipment
and
other
aircraft
are
well
clear
of
the
area
of
apron
around
the
intended
Power
Back.
Procedure:
1. After
successful
engine
start
pressurize
both
system
A
and
B
hydraulics
and
close
the
ground
interconnect
switch.
Ensure
both
air
conditioning
packs
are
OFF
prior
to
starting
the
Power
Back
2. Initiate
Power
Back
by
releasing
the
parking
brake.
Place
the
thrust
reversers
in
the
idle
position.
Slowly
increase
the
reverse
thrust
power.
Do
not
exceed
75%
N2.
3. To
end
Power
Back,
place
the
thrust
reversers
to
idle.
Once
stable
at
idle,
stow
the
thrust
reversers.
To
slow
and
stop
use
minimal
use
of
forward
thrust.
DO
NOT
USE
BRAKES
TO
STOP
THE
POWER
BACK.
THE
AIRCRAFT
MAY
TIP
OVER.
4. Once
Power
Back
is
complete
and
the
aircraft
is
stopped,
set
parking
brake
and
complete
configuration
for
taxi.
Taxi
To
begin
taxiing,
advance
throttles
to
a
maximum
of
68%
N2.
Allow
the
aircraft
to
pick
up
enough
speed
for
any
imminent
turns
before
closing
the
throttles.
To
make
small
corrections
use
the
rudder
pedals
which
give
6
degrees
of
steering
authority
either
side
of
center.
For
larger
turns
use
the
tiller,
which
gives
78
degrees
of
steering
authority.
Before
entering
a
turn
reduce
groundspeed
to
less
than
10
kts.
Use
throttles
as
needed
during
the
turn
to
ensure
a
smooth
turn.
Do
not
use
differential
braking
in
a
turn,
as
this
results
in
excessive
pressure
on
the
nose
wheel
strut.
Do
not
ride
the
brakes,
as
this
does
not
allow
for
sufficient
cooling.
Intermittent
use
of
brakes
allows
time
for
the
brakes
to
cool.
Avoid
taxiing
too
fast
or
to
close
to
other
aircraft
to
limit
wear
on
brakes
and
reduce
the
possibility
of
FOD
damage.
Remember
that
the
nose
gear
is
aprox
8
feet
behind
the
pilot
when
making
turns.
Takeoff
When
aligned
on
the
runway
or
after
releasing
brakes
for
takeoff
smoothly
and
quickly
advance
the
throttles
to
the
takeoff
setting
given
on
your
VCard.
Do
not
adjust
throttle
settings
after
60kts.
Maintain
nose
wheel
control
with
slight
downward
pressure
on
the
control
column.
At
VR,
The
pilot
flying
should
initiate
a
smooth
rotation
of
approx.
3
degrees
per
second
to
a
maximum
of
15
degrees
until
the
main
gear
lift
off.
Afterward
continue
the
rotation
to
no
more
than
10
degrees
until
V2+10/20
kts
is
achieved.
Set
pitch
to
maintain
this
airspeed.
Trim
the
aircraft
for
this
speed.
At
400
ft
retract
to
flaps
15
if
doing
a
flaps
20
takeoff.
If
the
rotation
rate
is
correct
the
main
gear
should
lift
off
before
reaching
10
degrees
nose
up,
allowing
for
rotation
to
15
degrees
to
be
accomplished
in
one
fluid
movement.
As soon as positive climb is confirmed, raise the landing gear.
Fly
at
either
15
degrees
pitch
or
the
angle
required
to
maintain
V2+10/20
kts
until
1000
ft
AGL.
After
reaching
1000
ft,
reduce
pitch
by
half
of
the
angle
required
to
maintain
airspeed.
As
the
aircraft
accelerates
retract
flaps
as
per
the
schedule
on
the
V
Card.
Once
the
flaps
are
up
set
climb
thrust.
Flap
retraction
speeds
may
be
lead
by
10
kts
so
as
to
allow
for
constant
acceleration.
Cruise
At
cruise
altitude
level
off
the
aircraft
with
climb
power
set.
Allow
the
aircraft
to
accelerate
to
desired
cruise
speed
before
reducing
to
cruise
power.
Normal
cruise
is
between
M.78
to
M.85.
Normal
cruise
power
will
usually
be
between
85%
N1
to
75%N1.
However,
set
power
to
maintain
desired
airspeed.
Do
not
use
more
than
95%N1,
if
more
power
is
needed
reduce
altitude
or
lower
cruise
speed.
Descent
Descent
planning
can
be
done
via
two
simple
rules
of
thumb.
1. Multiply
your
height
by
three
to
determine
the
number
of
miles
that
you
need
to
descend.
For
example,
If
you
are
cruising
at
FL100
and
you
want
to
descend
to
sea
level,
Multiply
10
by
3.
10*3=30
so
30
miles
to
the
point
where
you
want
to
be
at
sea
level
is
your
descent
point.
This
descent
is
based
on
descending
at
M.80
until
300kts
IAS,
thence
300KIAS
to
FL100,
thence
250kts
until
final
approach.
Some
use
of
spoilers
may
be
required
to
slow
sufficiently
for
a
stable
approach
once
level
at
the
intercept
altitude.
2. Divide
your
altitude
by
2
to
determine
the
time
it
will
take
for
you
to
descend
to
a
fix.
For
example,
if
you
are
cruising
at
FL100
and
want
to
descend
to
sea
level,
divide
10
by
2.
This
gives
you
5
minutes
to
descend.
This
is
based
on
a
descent
rate
of
2000
feet
per
minute.
Approach
To
fly
a
stable
ILS
approach,
proper
drag
application
through
use
of
landing
gear
deployment
and
flap
extension
is
crucial.
In
the
latter
stages
of
the
approach,
sufficient
power
must
be
maintained
and
airspeed
carefully
monitored
in
order
to
prevent
stalls.
Recommended
flap
settings
are
flaps
15
until
the
Glide
Slope
indicators
begin
to
move.
Once
they
move
deploy
the
landing
gear
and
set
flaps
20.
At
1
dot
deviation
set
flaps
30.
Fly
the
entire
approach
at
Vref
+5
+
(1/2
headwind
component)
+
Gust
component.
For
example:
Vref
is
130,
winds
are
headwind
of
10
kts
and
gust
of
5
knots.
Therefore
the
correct
speed
for
the
approach
is
130+5+(10/2)+5
=
145kts.
Landing
Proper
technique
is
to
bleed
off
the
headwind
component
of
the
approach
speed
below
500
ft
AGL
in
order
to
prevent
delayed
touchdown.
However,
the
entire
gust
factor
is
to
be
maintained
throughout
the
flare
and
touchdown.
Thus
at
the
flare
your
airspeed
should
have
bled
down
to
140
kts.
During
the
flare
allow
any
remaining
airspeed
to
be
bled
off,
but
do
not
delay
touchdown.
On
wet
or
contaminated
runways
a
firm
touchdown
should
be
desired
in
order
to
allow
the
tires
to
provide
maximum
braking.
Immediate
use
of
reverse
thrust
should
be
applied
after
main
gear
touchdown.
In
order
to
prevent
undesirable
force
on
the
nose
gear
and
aircraft
upset
at
touch
down
delay
applying
reverse
thrust
above
idle
until
the
nose
gear
has
touched
down.
Ensure
reverse
thrust
does
not
exceed
60%N1
NOTE:
Landing
may
be
aborted
at
any
time
prior
to
thrust
reverser
deployment.
Once
the
thrust
reversers
have
been
deployed,
you
are
committed
to
landing.
