What is the engine limitations after
landing? ( Recommendation: )

mins prior to shutdown.
11. Flight • Alternate flap duty cycle in flight is one complete cycle, then 5 mins off.
Controls (
AOM 3.9 ) • A complete cycle is movement from position 0 to 15 and back to 0.

What are • The alternate flap switch must be in the OFF position for 15 secs before reversing the direction of flap movement.
the
limitations 0 - 15 flaps takes approximately 2 mins.
on
alternate
flaps?
12. Flight • In flight, do not extend the speedbrake lever beyond the flight detent. ( prevents buffeting )
Controls (
AOM 3.9 ) • Do not use speedbrakes in flight below 1000 feet AGL

What are • In flight, do not use speedbrakes unless the flaps are fully retracted.
the speed ( reduces wear and tear on flaps )
brake
limitations?
13. Flight ● Do not extend flaps above 20,000 feet pressure altitude.
Controls (
AOM 3.9 )

What is the
limitation
for normal
flaps?
14. Fuel ● Use center tank to depletion followed by wing tank fuel.
Distribution
limitations? ● 1,000 lb may be retained in the center tank provided the effects of balance have been considered.
15. Fuel ● Main tanks must be full if the center tank quantity is greater than 1,000 lb.
limitation
while on ● For ground operation, center tank fuel pump switches must not be positioned to ON unless the center tank fuel
the ground quantity exceeds 1,000 lb, except when defueling or transferring fuel.
at the
gate? Note: Fuel may be transferred from tank to tank or the aircraft may be defueled with Passengers onboard, provided the
fuel quantity in the tank from which fuel is being taken is maintained at not less than 2,000 lb. Deplane all Passengers
and non- essential Crew Members when defueling a tank or transferring fuel from a tank that has a fuel quantity below
2,000 lb. until the process has been completed and the respective fuel boost pumps are turned off.

● Center tank fuel pump switches must be positioned to OFF when both center tank fuel pump LOW PRESSURE lights
illuminate.

Note: When established in level flight attitude, both center tank pump switches should be positioned ON again if the
center tank contains usable fuel.

● Center tank fuel pumps must not be ON unless personnel are available on the flight deck to monitor LOW PRESSURE
lights.
16. Fuel System ( AOM 3.12 ) • Max Fuel Tank Temperature +49°C
• Min Fuel TankTemperature -37°C
What is the min and max fuel tank
temps? Note: Jet A freeze point is -40°C, and other listed fuels freeze at lower temperatures.

What is the Radar Limitation? -near fuel spills,
-or near people.
21. Resetting a tripped circuit breaker ● A tripped circuit breaker may only be reset once.
(AOM 3.7.1)
● Allow approximately two minutes for cooling before
resetting.

● An in-flight reset should only be accomplished if, in the judgment of the Captain,
regaining use of that system is critical to the safe conduct of the flight.

● The in-inflight reset of a tripped circuit breaker should only be accomplished when
directed by the QRH. Allow approximately 2 minutes for cooling before resetting

● Flight Crews must not reset tripped fuel quantity indicator, fuel pump or fuel pump
control circuit breakers.

● On the ground: Crew should not cycle a circuit breaker at any time unless it meets one or
more of following criteria:
- Directed by QRH
-Directed by AOM, FOM, MEL or Ops Binder
-Coordinated and approved by MOC
22. Reverse Thrust ( AOM 3.8.5 ) ● Reverse thrust is for ground use only.

reversers?
23. TCAS (AOM ● Flight Crews must immediately respond to TCAS information (both TAs and RAs) by using the TCAS (Traffic
3.15.3) Avoidance) guidelines located in the QRH Maneuvers Chapter.
- Disconnect Autopilot/Autothrottles
- Apply pitch and power necessary to meet RA
- Notify Dispatch ASAP by most expeditious means.

● Pilots are authorized to deviate from an ATC clearance to the extent necessary to comply with a TCAS II resolution
advisory (RA).
