LIMITATIONS
Operational

Runway slope +/- 2%

Maximum Takeoff and Landing Tailwind Component 10 knots

Maximum Operating Altitude 43,100 feet pressure altitude

Maximum Takeoff and Landing Altitude 8,400 feet pressure altitude

Turbulent Air Penetration Speed: (in severe turbulence) is defined as:

270 knots below 25,000 feet

280 knots or 0.82 Mach whichever is lower at 25,000 feet and above

Maintain a minimum speed of 15 knots above the minimum maneuvering speed at all
altitudes when airspeed is below 0.82 Mach

The maximum demonstrated takeoff and landing crosswind is 38 knots.

Do not operate HF radios during refueling operations.

Do not operate the weather radar in a hangar or within 50 feet of any fuel spill.

Altimeters - RVSM

Prior to takeoff the maximum allowable difference between Captain’s or First Officer’s
altitude display and field elevation is 75 feet.

The standby altimeter does not meet altimeter accuracy requirements of RVSM airspace.

Max Weight Limits:

Aircraft Taxi Takeoff Zero Fuel Landing

777-200 ER 274,876 Kg 273,969 Kg 199,580 Kg 213,188 Kg

777-200 LR 341,101 Kg 340,194 Kg 209,106 Kg 223,167 Kg

777-300 ER 341,101 Kg 340,194 Kg 237,682 Kg 251,290 Kg

Autopilot

Minimum engage altitude is 200 feet AGL after takeoff.

Without LAND 2 or LAND 3 annunciated, the autopilot must be disengaged below 200 feet
AGL.

Non-AFM Operational Information: Don’t use FLCH on final approach below 1,000 ft AFE

Auto Land Limits

Headwind 25 knots

Tailwind 10 knots

Crosswind 25 knots

Maximum glideslope angle is 3.25 degrees.

Minimum glideslope angle is 2.5 degrees.

Automatic landings can be made using flaps 20 or 30, with both engines operative or one
engine inoperative.

The autopilot flight director system (AFDS) autoland status annunciation must display LAND
2 or LAND 3.

Engine Fuel System

Maximum tank fuel temperature is 49 degrees C.

Tank fuel temperature prior to takeoff must not be less than -40 degrees C or 3 degrees C
above the fuel freezing point, whichever is higher.

In-flight tank fuel temperature must be maintained at least 3 degrees C above the freezing
point of the fuel being used.

The use of Fuel System Icing Inhibitor additives does not change the minimum fuel tank
temperature limit.

The Jet A fuel specification limits the freezing point to -40°C maximum, while the Jet A-1 limit
is -47°C maximum.

Reverse Thrust

Non AFM Operational Information AP-BGY - AP-BHW, AP-BID

For ground operation (exclusive of takeoff) in tailwinds and crosswinds between 30 and 45
knots, engine power should be limited to a maximum of 70% N1.

5
Avoid thrust levels above that required for normal taxi operation in all tailwinds and
crosswinds greater than 45 knots.

Intentional selection of reverse thrust in flight is prohibited.

Backing the airplane with use of reverse thrust is prohibited.

APU

The APU’s starter motors duty cycle for the electric starter motor and air turbine starter is 3
starts attempts in a 60 minute period each. APU start cycle restrictions are:

Between Starts Electric Starter Motor Wait Air Turbine Starter Wait
1 and 2 1 minute 1 minute
2 and 3 1 minute 1 minute

ADIRU

ADIRU alignment must not be attempted at latitudes greater than 78 degrees, 14.75 minutes.

QFE Selection

A QFE altitude reference for the primary flight displays must be selected in the flight
management system whenever QFE is used instead of QNH.

Fuel System

Main tanks must be scheduled to be full if center tank fuel is loaded.

The center tank may contain up to 1360 kilograms of fuel with less than full main tanks
provided center tank fuel weight plus actual zero fuel weight does not exceed the maximum
zero fuel weight, and center of gravity limits are observed.

GPWS - Look-Ahead Terrain Alerting and Display

Prohibited within 15 NM of takeoff, approach or landing at an airport or runway not contained

in the GPWS terrain database.
