| Stabilized Approach Criteria | 2000' AFL to 1000' AFL: 2000 FPM, +/- 1.5 dots [] 1000' AFL to 300' AFL = 1000 FPM, +/- 1 dot [] 300' AFL to 50' AFL: 900 FPM +/- 1 dot. [] AIRSPEED - Max deviation from 1000' AFL to airspeed reduction is +10, -0 kts. |
| RVSM Requirements | *Between FL290 and FL410* -A/P w/Altitude hold - Altitude alerting system - 2 Mode C transponders - 2 Independent primary altimeters. |
| Auto Pressureization Climb/Descent Rates | 650 FPM in climb/-450 FPM in descent.
*If A/C is descending >2000 FPM, rates increase to between -450 FPM and -1300 FPM. |
| What enables windshear escape guidance mode? | -Manually, by pressing a G/A button during windshear alert.
-Automatically, when in a T/O or G/A mode when windshear is detected.
-Automatically, when T/Ls max and a DECREASING windshear is detected. |
| Flight Level Change values | *Climbing
0'-10,000' = 240 kts
10,000' - 12,000' = 240-270 kts linearly
12,000' - 17,377' = 270 kts
17,377' - 37,000' = 0.56 Mach
*Descending
37,000' - 12,000' = -2000 FPM
12,000' - 10,000' = -2000 FPM to -1,000 FPM
<10,000' = -1,000 FPM |
