AIRPLANE CONTROL
Take off positioning
Takeoff performance calculations presume the use of all available runway. Good judgment dictates that a
minimum amount of the runway be used in positioning for takeoff.
The first point at which thrust may be increased varies with the runway and taxiway layout. Avoid making
sharp turns onto the runway at high thrust
Applying take-off thrust
On all airplanes, set the chart rolling takeoff EPR values. When allied with the runway(RW):
Pause until all engines have accelerated and are stabilized at 60% to 65%N1
Caution: Be especially careful to advance throttles symmetrically on slippery runways, in crosswinds, and at
light weights, in order to avoid directional problems.
Between 40 and 80kts, adjust thrust to bug value. Do not readjust EPR after 80kt except to stay within EGT
or N1-N2 limits.
Rotation
The rotation maneuver should be a smooth continuous pitch change to the V2+10kts climb attitude. Begin
the rotation maneuver approaching Vr at a rate that causes the nose wheel to leave the ground at Vr. The
airplane should reach the target climb attitude and V2+10 simultaneously.
Caution: If the airplane is not airborne at 10 degrees pitch, stop rotation until liftoff occurs, then adjust
attitude as described above to reach V2+10.

Retract the gear (G or from joystick) when a positive rate of climb is indicated on the pressure altimeter.
Landing gear retraction increases drag while the gear doors are open.
Initial climb
After establishing the initial climb attitude by reference to the attitude indicator (ADI), monitor the airspeed
and adjust the pitch attitude to maintain V2+10,to a maximum of 18 degrees nose up.
The speed V2+10 is very close to the maximum-angle-of-climb speed and also provides normal maneuvering
capability. .Do not exceed 30 degrees bank. (To ensure the desired climb after takeoff all cockpit
crewmembers should cross-check attitude (on the ADI) with airspeed (on the airspeed/Mach indicator),
altimeter, and vertical speed (on VSI).
Standard takeoff and departure climb
Use the Standard Takeoff and Departure Climb at:
SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
Turbocompressors for takeoff
Normally the takeoff is made with two turbocompressors on (usually numbers 2 and 3), engine bleeds are
not to be used for any takeoff. A higher gross weight may be authorized for takeoff with one or both off.
When conducting a takeoff with one or no turbocompressor turn the turbocompressor off. Usually this is
performed by the flight engineer (SO) or can be accomplished by you by choosing SO UPPER panel and put
the TURBOCOMPRESSOR SWITCH to START and WING VALVES to OPEN.
Operational variations: crosswind takeoff
Unless a strong wind exists, no unusual characteristics should be expected during takeoff. Use the normal
rolling takeoff procedure, keeping the nose wheel firmly on the runway. Inlet distortions in high crosswinds
may cause the engine to momentarily stall as thrust is applied.
Be alert for any tendency of the upwind wing to rise. Maintain wings level by applying aileron into the wing
as required. Avoid large control inputs. To avoid a high-drag, spoilers-up condition, use no more aileron
control input then necessary.
Stay on the centerline. Smooth rudder inputs combined with small lateral control inputs will result in a
normal takeoff roll. As the controls become more effective with speed, displacements should be reduced.
NOTE: When the crosswind component exceeds 15 kt, control may be difficult, especially on slippery or
narrow RWs. Use caution. Consider requesting a RW more into the wind.
At Vr rotate with smooth, positive back-pressure. Liftoff cleanly. As rotation takes place, more roll control
input will be required to keep the wings level.
The airplane will be in a sideslip with crossed controls at liftoff. After liftoff, ease out the cross control inputs
and establish a crab angle to maintain the desired track.

AIRPLANE CONTROL
Altitude selection
Buffet boundaries, optimum cruising levels, and performance ceilings are all directly dependent upon gross
weight. Before accepting an altitude for cruising, determine optimum altitude, considering the top-of-climb
gross weight and anticipated temperature.
NOTE: Optimum altitude is the altitude that gives the best nautical miles per thousand pounds of fuel for a
given gross weight. It provides a 1.35G or better buffet protection.
Before accepting an altitude, determine that it is and will continue to be acceptable as the flight progress
under projected conditions of temperature and turbulence. (The engineer (SO) will provide target airspeeds,
gross weight, and power settings, as required.)
Buffet boundary
The minimum recommended moderate turbulence buffet boundary protection is 1.35G.The minimum severe
turbulence buffet boundary protection is 2.0G.
Minimum maneuvering speed at high altitude
At altitudes, higher than 10,000ft, these speeds must be adjusted to maintain a safe maneuvering margin.
Add 1 knot per 1000 feet of altitude to Vth+50 (Vth--threshold speed) to obtain the minimum
maneuvering speed for that altitude.
Example: To determine minimum maneuvering speed at 35000ft, assume Vth equals 125:
Apply rule of 50:
125+50=175
Add 1kt per thousand feet: 125+50+35=210
210kts therefore the minimum maneuvering speed for 35000ft.
NOTE: If airplane control is adversely affected by turbulence at holding speeds, increase speed and notify
ATC.

REVIEWED
CHECKED&SET
CREW MANAGEMENT
The cockpit workload increases gradually as the airplane descends into the terminal area. Good judgment
dictates that distractions be minimized and administrative and nonessential duties be completed before
descent or held until after landing. The earlier essential duties can be performed, the more time will be
available in the more critical approach and landing phases.
The descent profile and speed schedule is sometimes varied by ATC or weather conditions. Otherwise the
pilot should select a descent schedule that will provide passenger comfort, schedule compliance and
economy.
Approach review (briefing)
Having maintained an averseness of the destination weather and traffic situation and considering the
requirements of a potential diversion, review the airport approach charts and pages and recognize the plan
for approach and landing.
The approach review normally should be accomplished before top-of-descent (TOD) and include at least the
following:
Approach minimums;
(Nonprecision approach) distance and time to the missed approach point (MAP);
During the approach review set pressure and radio altimeter bugs.
During descent
PF (YOU) should actively maintain an altitude awareness at all times. Know your altitude, your rate of
descent, and the altitude clearance. Keep the altitude reminder set. Also shortly after TOD, set EPR bugs.
Threshold speed, Vth.
V-threshold (Vth) is the minimum maneuvering speed in the landing configuration.
PF (YOU) should determine Vth from the Critical Speeds placard for the estimated landing gross weight
(LGW) and flap setting. The low airspeed bug should be set to this confirmed Vth.
NOTE:
5 kt, or
12
Example: For LGW 210,000lb & flaps 40 : Vth=127kt; For wind 340 at 15kt gusting to 25kt, landing RW36
Vprog=Vth + gust adjustment+1/2 runway headwind component = 127+10+7=144kt, so it means:
Set one bug to Vth(127kt); Set one bug to Vgust(Vth+10)=137kt; Set one bug to Vprog(Vgust+7)=144kt.
Possible Wind Shear Adjustment
When the possibility of windshear exists, a Vth adjustment up to 20kt may be made
Vprog = Vth + 20kt maximum. In no case may Vprog exceed Vth by more than 20 kt.
After a single value for Vprog is determined, proceed as follows:
For a category ILS approach, the radio altimeter bug must be set to decision height(DH),RA
value.
For any other approach set the radio altimeter bug to 500ft.
2) Pressure Altimeter Bug.
For all straight-in approaches use TDZ, if it is published. If it is not published, use airport
elevation.
For circling approaches, use airport elevation. Set bug to the DH or MDA.
Standard callouts
transition level.
AIRPLANE CONTROL
Use DME, GPS, radar, and any other means to accurately fix distance out before commencing descent.
Normal descent: 0.80 Mach or 320 knots
The normal descent is with idle thrust at 0,80Mach or 320 kt, whichever is slower (0,80Mach above
approximately FL275, and 320 kt below).
Depending on the gross weight, the normal descent schedule results in average descent rate of 2700 fpm
between 40,000 and 25,000 ft. Below 25,000 ft the average descent rate is approximately 1500 fpm. Clean
configuration is preferred. Descents with flaps or gear down are airspeed-imitated, noisy, and expensive.
Also, at limit speed, flaps cause buffeting. Even though clean descents are preferred, speed brakes should be
used when they are needed to maintain the desired descent profile.
High-speed descent
Maintain cruise mach to Vmo (barber pole) minus 15 kt, then hold Vmo minus 15 but not exceed 350 kt/
Descent angle, range, and fuel are not appreciably changed from the normal descent.
Descent with gear extended
Observe the gear operating speeds placards; set throttles to idle before extending gear. Gear extension will
give about 3500 fpm rate of descent.
Descent with flaps extended
Observe the 20,000 ft flap extension limit. Set throttles to idle before extending flaps and observe the flap
limit speed. Extend flaps to 25 and hold 190 to 160 kt.
13
SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
Landing lights
For collision avoidance in VMC, turn on desired landing and/or runway turnoff lights when descending
through 10,000 ft.
Fuel system
The fuel system should be placed in the tank-to-engine configuration before landing. Use fuel heat as
required.
2.6 APPROACH
CREW MANAGEMENT
The approach and landing are the most critical phases of flight. As such, they demand the highest
level of attention and sharing of plan.
Approach procedures provide for orderly transition to the landing configuration while controlling navigation in
an increasingly precise manner. It is essential that the crew constantly maintain an awareness of airplanes
flight and navigation situation. Crosschecking must be thorough and continuous. (Paperwork, nonessential
duties, and irrelevant conversation must be put aside.
NOTE:
Irrelevant conversation during the approach phase diverts attention from essential duties, callouts, scan,
etc.) In all approach and landing operations, the PF (YOU) remains in command and fully responsible for
safety.
A primary purpose of redundancy is the capability of crosschecking. During an approach, flight information
redundancy is necessary. For example, when the airplane is on the glide slope, the pressure instruments,
compass, PDI, flight director, and autopilot operation all tell the crew something about the airplanes
progress. Any of these is subject to failure or inaccuracy. One of the most common approach problems is the
failure of the crew to continuously validate one source of information with another. Overconcentration on
a single display or situation can lead to serious errors.
Whether making an IFR or a VFR approach, use all appropriate navigational and approach facilities to
aid flight path control and to ensure landing at the correct airport and runway.
(Traffic density and normal maneuvering requirements in the approach area suggest that the seatbelt sign
be turn on early in descent. The timing is optional and will vary with conditions, but in no case should it be
delayed below 10,000 ft.)
Approach duties
The pilot making the approach (YOU) will:
make the radio check as follows:
o
tune (and identify) the primary approach navaid,
o
ensure final approach course set in both HSI windows,
o
set VOR/ADF switches as required,
o
tune (and identify) the ADFs, check ADF mode,
o
select the flight director (FD) as required.
adjust thrust to maintain Vprog plus or minus 5 kt,(for strong gusty wind conditions, speed may
bleed off to a minimum of Vgust below 200 to 300 ft AGL).
on VOR, ADF, or localizer approach, check the time or DME distance from facility to determine the
Missed Approach Point(MAP),
approaching MDA, check time and distance remaining to MAP,
on ILS approaches, monitor LOC and GS information on the ADI (and HSI),
note the drift angle,
on Category II approaches, approaching DH, check that the expanded LOC is within the limit bars,
that speed is stabilized on Vprog plus or minus 5 kt ,and that GS is within 1 dot,
confirm altitude callouts, be prepared to land if visual cues confirm instrument indications, and
execute missed approach, if required.
14
Checklists
Assume the Approach checklist is completed at or below the transition level (TL).
Assume the Landing checklist is completed after the landing flaps are selected. The checklist must be
completed by 1000 ft AGL on all straight-in approaches. At this point, the airplane should be stabilized on
the glidepath, stabilized on Vprog, with the proper sink rate.
For circling approaches, lower the flaps to the landing configuration when beginning the final visual descent
for landing. Then complete the Landing checklist.
The altitude check over the final approach fix (FAF) is to ensure that the airplane is on the correct descent
profile. The instrument check is for the appearance of warning flags or other gross instrument discrepancies.
Instrument failures
When the airplane is below 500 feet, because there is insufficient time to evaluate the problem, instrument
failures signaled by compass flag, NAV or GS flag require an immediate missed approach unless
continuous visual flight has been established.
This procedure is intended to prevent the pilots distraction from the flight instruments and to permit an
unhurried assessment of the problem and its effect on landing minima.
AIRPLANE CONTROL
The normal approach is an ILS approach. All ILS approaches are essentially the same, but depending on the
airplane and the facilities, the pilot can elect to fly the approach in several ways by varying the degree of
automation.
The approved methods of airplane control during approaches are:
pilot manual input is decreased to permit more attention to cockpit management and instrument
monitoring.
Speed control
Approach target speeds are noted on the profile diagrams and are referenced to Vprog. Minimum
maneuvering speeds are also noted on the profiles, and are referenced to Vth. All approach target speeds
should be held within +/- 5 kt.
Thrust control
Maintain a balanced thrust condition throughout the approach.
Rate of descent control
Below 500 ft AGL, for any descent rate of more than 1000 fpm, take immediate corrective action or abandon
the approach.
Gear and flap extension
There are number of important considerations when extending the gear and flaps for landing. Among these
are the airspeed at which they are extended and the length of time during which the airplane is in a highdrag configuration. There are significant advantages to minimizing both factors.
Operating the gear and flaps at lower airspeeds minimizes passenger reaction to these conditions and also
increases airframe service life. As the speed is reduced for landing, the flaps should normally be extended at
or near the minimum maneuvering speed for the existing flap setting.
The advantages of minimizing the time during which the airplane is in a high-drag configuration include
considerable savings in fuel and reduced noise levels, both on the ground and in the cabin. (There is a
significant increase in both fuel consumption and noise level between clean and approach configurations in
level, unaccelerated flight.) If drag required during the descent or early in the approach is subsequently no
longer required, the pilot should consider a cleaner configuration rather then unnecessarily maintaining high
levels of thrust, noise, and fuel consumption.
NOTE:
Regardless of weather conditions, for all straight-in approaches, the airplane should be in the landing
configuration, with the landing checklist complete, not lower than 1000 ft AGL. At this point the airplane
15
should be stabilized on the glide path, stabilized on Vprog, with the proper sink rate, and trimmed for zero
control forces.
For circling approaches, extend landing flaps and request the landing checklist when beginning the final
visual descent for landing.
Flight director management
Although it is used in other phases of flight, the primary purpose of the flight director is to provide roll
and pitch commands during the final stages of an instrument approach.
Used properly, the flight director can reduce pilot workload and enhance cockpit management.
During coupled approaches, if the autopilot malfunctions, transition to manual flight can readily be made if
the flight director (FD) has been properly set up and used. Its use is required on Category II approaches. It
should be used for backup and monitoring of all precision approaches.
ILS approach with flight director (FD)
Maintain continuous spatial operation. Verify the intercept angle by comparing heading and ADI and HSI
indications. Compare outer compass locator ADF bearing in relation to the localizer course, also GPS can be
used.
Localizer intercept
After being cleared for approach, on the final vector or procedure turn inbound:
Select NAV/LOC mode on the AP panel. After localizer capture the V/L light on the FD announciation panel
goes green and FD roll command bar commands localizer capture and tracking.
Localizer intercepts.
After being cleared for the approach, on the final vector or procedure turn inbound:
-- Select AUTO G/S on the AP panel.
-- Announciator lights (V/L and G/S light on the FD announciation panel goes green), and V/L and G/S light
on the AP announciation panel goes amber, (then green after capture of LOC and GS.) The coupler is now
programmed for automatic capture of the localizer and glideslope.
The airplane will stay on last selected heading unit within 2 dots on HSI. Normally, the intercept angle
should be from 35 to 45 degrees. If the angle varies much from this, consider intercepting in HDG mode to
avoid overshooting or getting too close to become established. When localizer capture begins, the V/L light
on the AP announciation panel changes to green and G/S light remains amber. The autopilot will now
command automatic localizer tracking.
Glideslope intercept.
When the HSI & ADI glideslope bars centers:
-- A/P G/S announciator light turns green.
-- The A/P will now command automatic G/S tracking.
On the glideslope, make thrust changes smoothly. A stable approach is essential for optimum tracking.
Maintain balanced thrust.
At 1000 ft radio altitude, ILS signal attenuation automatically begins. As altitude is decreased, LOC and G/S
signals are attenuated and bank angle is limited so that the A/P will maintain a constant response to a given
displacement from the beam.
Disconnect the A/P by 50 ft AGL (Z-button or as assigned).
If a missed approach is executed, disconnect the A/P (Z-button or as assigned).

the approach threshold, approach lights, or other markings identifiable with the approach end of the
RW are clearly visible to the pilot and
the airplane is in a position from which a normal descent to the landing RW can be made.
CAT II approach
A Category II approach may not be continued below the DH unless:
the pilot has established visual reference with the approach light system and
at 100 ft HAT (Height Above Touchdown), visual reference has been established with the RW
threshold environment, which includes any of the following:
o
touchdown zone (TDZ) lights
o
RW threshold
o
red terminating barrettes, with an ALSF-1 system
o
red side-row barretts inside the 500-ft bar, with an ALSF-2 or ICAO system
o
red side-row barretts on any other approved lighting system, and
the pilot determines that a landing can be accomplished within the TDZ.
Visual approach
The configuration and speed schedules for visual approaches are shown on the Visual Approach diagram.
Use all available aids such as ILS glideslope, VASI, PAPI, and PAR monitor to maintain the proper
flightpath. Take special care to maintain established approach profiles over noise-sensitive areas.
Landing at the wrong airport and on the wrong RW and the touchdowns short of the RW are frequently
associated with good weather and visual approaches. Use all appropriate navaids and facilities to prevent
such occurrences.
SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
Windshield wiper and rain repellent
Part of the approach briefing should include determination of
systems when required.
Landing lights.
On a night landing where fog is present, use of landing lights too early may cause visibility problems. When
landing lights are not to be turned on until near the threshold, the PF should turn them on when required (Lbutton or as assigned or individually from the flight deck).

CREW MANAGEMENT
On all straight-in approaches before 1000 ft AGL the airplane should be:
18
On a 3-degree glidepath, sink rate is approximately 700 fpm no-wind for an average approach speed. Sink
rates at 100 ft should not exceed 800 fpm regardless of conditions.
During coupled approaches it is necessary to press the autopilot disconnect button (Z - button) some time
before starting the flare. It is good practice to do this every landing, so that it becomes a habit.
Deceleration on the RW is about three times greater than in the air. If the airspeed is higher than desired,
accept it and land the airplane.
Wind shear
If appropriate, consider holding or diverting to avoid shear conditions.
During the approach, the following methods can be used to assist in determining inflight wind:
airplane drift angle,
au unusually steep or shallow rate of descent required to maintain glideslope, and
an unusually high or low power setting required to maintain airspeed.
If wind shear is suspected, airspeed bugs are set accordingly (as described above, Descent Chapter):
when winds are reported strong and gusty at the surface, they may be considerably stronger or weaker
at altitude. Vprog and Vgust airspeed bugs are set to accommodate possible shear and protect against
gusts. During the approach, windshear may cause airspeed to bleed off from Vprog to Vgust. Do not
allow speed to decrease below Vgust. If the bleed off does not occur, accept the higher speed and land
the airplane. Do not float.
When reported surface wind would not justify an increased bug setting (for example, tower reports
calm wind), but wind shear is suspected by the crew, the Possible Wind Shear adjustment of up to 20
kt may be used to determine Vprog. If the anticipated shear does not materialize, do not attempt to
bleed off airspeed before touchdown; accept the higher speed and land the airspeed. Do not float.
Stabilize the approach early an unstabilized approach will always delay detection of wind shear.
Many types of wind shear conditions exist, including changes of speed and/or direction, as well as the
possibility of vertical air movement (updrafts or downdrafts).
WARNING:
If wind shear is encountered on final approach, do not hesitate to go around if the approach profile and
airspeed cannot be restabilized. It cannot be emphasized too strongly that a go-around is often the
professional pilots best course of action.
Touchdown
Reduce the rate of closure with the runway. As the elevator input becomes effective, reduce thrust. The
capability of the elevator to arrest sink rate and throttle reduction timing varies significantly with weight and
speed. Normally, throttles are at idle just before touchdown.
Ease off elevator (joystick) back-pressure to lower the nose and fly or roll onto the runway under
positive elevator control. Avoid hold-off, stall-type landings because they reduce wing tip and engine pod
clearance and require more runway. Do not trim during the landing flare.
Stopping
On the ground, stopping distance varies with the coefficient of friction, use of control surfaces, revising, and
braking techniques.
Upon touchdown, extend the speedbrakes fully (/-button or as assigned) and pull the reverse levers
(F2-button, PG DOWN button, from the cockpit or from joystick or as assigned) to the interlock
(amber REV OPTG light will come on). Speedbrakes are an important factor affecting stopping distance. They
increase drag quickly and kill wing lift so that wheel braking becomes more effective.
As soon as the nosewheel is on the runway increase reverse thrust (F2- button, PG DOWN button, from
the cockpit or from joystick or as assigned) on all engines. When necessary dont hesitate to use full
allowable reverse thrust. (Do not exceed engine limits except in an emergency.)
Apply brakes promptly as soon as the spoilers are up, the nose wheel is down, and runway tracking is
established. Maintain a constant deceleration rate down to desired taxi speed.
If an engine does not indicate being in reverse (or if a reverser is inoperative),it is recommended that only
symmetric reverse thrust be used. Consider airplane directional control capabilities (particularly at lower
speeds), and use asymmetric reverse thrust only with caution.
As airplane slows, engine noise level builds but reverse effectiveness drops. Maintain the desired
deceleration rate by smoothly applying the brakes ( (period) button or as assigned).
Start reducing reverse thrust at 80 kt (F3 or PG UP button, from the cockpit or from joystick or as
assigned), continuing lever motion forward at a rate which avoids engine surging. Be in idle reverse by 60
kt to minimize cross ingestion.
19
CAUTION:
Placing the throttles in a forward thrust position when the engines are above idle RPM immediately produces
significant forward thrust. Wait until the engines are spun down and the speed is under control before
coming out of idle reverse.
As the airplane slows, maintain the established deceleration by increasing brake pressure ( (period)
button or as assigned). Normally, maximum braking is not required.
NOTE: The best braking technique for normal stops is to apply, use moderately, and release the brakes in
the shortest reasonable time. However, when maximum braking is required, apply and use the brakes as
hard and as long as needed.
Operational variations: crosswind landings
Make a normal approach. Maintain runway alignment by crabbing. Before touchdown, gradually remove as
much of the crab as possible with rudder, thereafter preventing downwind drift by a slight wing-low attitude
into the wind. Overcontrolling can induce dutch roll.
It may be necessary to land with some crab angle if the crosswind is high. This presents no problem if the
angle is not excessive and the flightpath is aligned with the runway.
CAUTION:
Touchdown with a large crab angle and the wings level may result in a rapid rising of the upwind wing and
may cause an engine nacelle to drag on the runway.
Make a normal touchdown. Slightly increased airspeed will flatten the altitude and reduce the likelihood of
scrapping a pod.
After touchdown and while decelerating, keep directional control with the rudder. Aileron inputs should be
based only to maintain a wings-level attitude.
AIRPLANE CONTROL
Parking
The airplane is to be parked with the assistance of guide man or mechanical devices such as mirror or light
combinations or you can use Taxi Guide line of the Flight simulator. The only exception to this is when the
airplane can be parked in an open area where potential obstructions or hazards to the airplane are clearly in
view and can be avoided.
Before stopping the airplane, center the nosewheel and taxi straight ahead a short distance to relieve side
loads on the landing gear
Engine shutdown
If no longer required for taxi, parking, or electrical needs, outboard engines should be shut down after
landing to conserve brake life and save fuel.
Normally the engines are sufficiently cool shortly after landing to permit immediate shutdown; but if high
thrust was used after landing, allow the engines to idle for at least two minutes before shutdown. This idling
period permits the engines to cool slowly to prevent possible damage resulting from rapid temperature
changes.
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads before shutting down engines. Normally, the number three engine is
kept running until outside electrical power has been connected.
