ampere reading will be a steady (non- -pulsing) 40 amps which will decrease as the battery
becomes fully charged. Verification that batteries are not discharging and that battery voltage
is within normal limits is accomplished as follows:
• Place Meter Selector to BATT AMP position and verify batteries are not discharging as
indicated by a needle centered or to the left. A needle displaced to the right indicates the
battery is discharging.
• Place Meter Selector to BATT VOLT position and verify the battery voltage is within normal
limits (29±4VDC).
• Verify the BATTERY CHARGER Annunciator is not displayed.
• If the battery amperage indicates in a steady mode to the left, it may be the battery has not
had sufficient time to charge. The crew may continue through engine start and taxi. However,
all requirements of the emergency electrical power check must be met before completing the
Before Takeoff Checklist.
• The battery switch must be in ON to enable the battery charger to operate.
• The meter selector should be in BATT AMP except when checking other selected sources.

The switches must be off to provide maximum pneumatic supply capabilities for engine starting.
Move all left and right fuel tanks pumps switches to ON.
Verify both reverse levers are full forward and thrust levers are in IDLE to avoid inadvertent high
thrust and/or high EGT after engine start.
Observe pneumatic pressure indicator shows normal pressure (minimum 36 psi at SL).
NOTES:
• Consider a decrease of 1 psi every 1000 feet PA.
• If pneumatic pressure is below minimum, be aware that starting problems such as hot start,
hung start, etc., may take place.
ENGINE START
NOTES:
−
Before starting the engine, to avoid an hang / hot start, check residual EGT is below 100°C.
Engine motoring shortens cool down time considerably.
− If APU air is used, allow APU parameters stabilization before starting engine number one.
Too rapid engine start sequence may cause an increase of APU EGT with APU load
thermostat operation and consequent bleed air reduction with associated insufficient start
torque.
This condition will probably cause a hot start.
After CM2 has announced ”Before Start Checklist completed”, the CM1 inform on engine starting
sequence and proceed with Ground Communication procedure. CM1 announce ”Engine
number . . . .”, move and hold the related engine start switch to ON.
NOTE: If the engine start switch is inadvertently released, allow engine N 2 compressor to
stop and request ground personnel confirmation before attempting another start.
Observe that START VALVE OPEN annunciation displays and that pneumatic pressure drops.
NOTE: If pneumatic pressure does not decrease due to start valve failed closed, release the
ENG START switch.
CM1 and CM2 observe N2 RPM, hydraulic pressure and oil pressure increasing.
NOTE: If START VALVE OPEN annunciation displays but no N2 RPM increase is observed
within a few seconds, monitor hydraulic pressure, oil pressure and N 1 RPM increasing and
assume a faulty N 2 indicator. Move fuel shutoff lever to ON at 5% N 1 RPM and realease
engine start switch at 12% to 20% N 1 RPM.
Normal Procedures

OPERATIONS MANUAL 26/09/18
Chapter 2 - 29/60
CM1 and CM2 observe N1 RPM increase before N2 RPM indication has reached 20%.
CM1: Abort start and call maintenance to ascertain free movement of N1 shaft.
At maximum motoring N2 RPM, CM2 call ”Maximum Motoring”, CM1 move fuel shutoff
lever to ON and keep hand on lever until all engine indications are stabilized. CM2 start
timing and as soon as fuel flow indicates, call ”Fuel Flow”.
NOTE: Moving fuel shutoff lever to ON when N2 reaches maximum motoring RPM
(maximum motoring is defined as no N 2 RPM changed for 5 seconds) and N1 RPM
indicates positive rotation, will improve the probability of a good start. Minimum N2
RPM for moving fuel shutoff lever to ON is 20%. If N2 RPM indicator is inoperative,
move fuel shutoff lever to ON at 5% N1.
NOTES:
• Initial fuel flow for normal start is approximately 360 kg/h.
• In case of significantly higher (455 kg/h or more) or lower (330 kg/h or less) initial
fuel flow, starting problems may be expected.
CM2 call ”EGT” and verify that EGT rises within 20 seconds from fuel shutoff lever in ON.
CM1 and CM2 monitor EGT rising, and continued to monitor EGT until N2 is stabilized:
50-61%.
IF EGT does not rise within 20 seconds from fuel shutoff lever in ON,
CAUTION: Do not rotate the engine ignition selector to other positions (A, B or
OVRD) until engine rotation has ceased and fuel shutoff lever is in OFF. One reset of
tripped circuit breaker may be attempted after a cooling period of approximately 2
minutes. If the circuit breaker trips again, do not attempt another reset.
NOTES:
• An abnormal high rate of EGT increase (or EGT display flashing) is indicative of hot
start.
• The ground starting EGT limit is 475° C.

IF EGT indications rapidly reaches 50°C below the corresponding start limit and continues to rise, or
EGT display flashing (~450° C),
CM1: Monitor the EGT display and abort start if necessary to prevent exceeding EGT limits. Record
EGT peak. If EGT indications has exceeded start limits Maintenance action is required prior to next
start.
NOTE: When fires are encountered on the ground they are most likely to be tailpipe
or internal fires which occur during engine start or engine shutdown. Normally the
ground crew notices the fires first. However, high EGT may be another indication of
internal fire.
CAUTION: Tailpipe fires are not displayed in the cockpit. The first notification of a
tailpipe fire may be from an external source. Discharging the engine fire
extinguishing agent will not extinguish the fire. If the fire cannot be extinguished by
motoring, or if motoring is not possible, the use of ground fire fighting equipment may
be required.
If cockpit start indications are normal, continue start procedure. Monitor EGT and fuel flow indicators
to idle. Continue to operate engine at idle. If fire goes out, continue flight preparation and report start
incident for maintenance investigation. If fire continues or cockpit indications are abnormal, CM1:
abort start. To blow-out the engine re-engage starter at any N2 RPM below 20% and keep it engaged
until fire goes out.
At 40% N2 RPM, CM2 call ”40%” and CM1 release the engine start switch.
CM1 and CM2 observe START VALVE OPEN annunciation extinguished and all other engine
annunciations are extinguished.
IF Premature release of engine start switch with fuel shutoff lever ON,
CM1 and CM2 monitor engine stabilization at idle. CM2 stop and reset timing.
NOTE: Sub-idle vibration felt during start-up phases, that go out at the idle
stabilized speed of the engine, should be considered normal provided the same are
not associated to an abnormal engine behavior.
CM1 and CM2 verify that engine parameters stabilize at the following approximate idle values: EGT
300-480°C, N1 22-30%, N2 50-61%, F/F 270-500 k/h, Oil Pressure 40-55 PSI.
NOTE: Idle EGT (bleeds on) will normally not exceed 480° C. If exceeded, an

Air foil anti-ice should be on whenever icing conditions exist or are expected.
Icing conditions can exist when ram air temperature is below 6 degrees C and there is visible
moisture in the air. In addition. to the temperatures below 6 degrees C, be alert for ice buildup on the
windshield wipers or edges of the windshields.
The higher the temperature, the higher the cloud liquid water content and the more severe will be
the icing conditions. At temperatures below -20 degrees C, icing conditions encountered
should be less severe. However, heavy icing has on occasion been reported at temperatures as low
as -60 degrees C.
Move one switch at a time to ON in order to prevent cabin surge due to pneumatic pressure increasing.
Note: If airfoil ice protect switch was moved to ON when on the ground the system will operate after
nose gear lift-off.
Notes: L and R PROT TEMP LOW and AIRFOIL ICE PRES ABNML Annunciations may come on but
will go off within 1 minute. This is a normal indication. However, the L and R PROT TEMP LOW ann
may also come on with engines at low power. In order to provide adequate ice protection, power
should be increased enough to extinguish the annun (s). Either or both L & R ICE PROT TEMP
HIGH Ann may come on for a short period of time at takeoff rotation when airfoil ice protection
system has be turned on prior to takeoff. The ANTI-ICE SUPPLY HIGH ann. may come on
momentarily at takeoff rotation when airfoil ice protection system has been turned on prior to takeoff.
Operate tail de-ice each 20 minutes of operation of the wing anti-ice system:
NOTE: In addition to the requirement to operate the tail de-ice every 20 minutes during icing
conditions, a tail de-ice cycle should be initiated prior to the approach, approximately 1 minute prior to
extension of flaps or gear.
Normal Procedures

OPERATIONS MANUAL 26/09/18
Chapter 2 - 34/60
Notes: Engine anti-ice should be on whenever icing conditions exist or are expected. Airfoil anti-ice
should also be used if conditions warrant.
Move the engine anti-ice switches to ON one at a time. Observe that the L/R ENG VALVE ann comes on and
goes off, and that the L/R ENG ANTI-ICE ON light comes on steady. Observe engine parameters stabilize,
then move the other engine anti-ice switch to ON.
Notes:
• On ground, both engine anti-ice switches may be moved to ON simultaneously.
• During ground operation, if a L or R ENG VALVE ann remains on, call maintenance.
• In flight, if a L or R ENG VALVE ann is on, one or more engine anti-ice valves has malfunctioned.
Depart the icing area as soon as possible. Maintain engine operation at desired thrust level.
Minimize thrust lever movement until clear of icing area.
• ATS, if being used, may disconnect if engine anti-ice switches are moved to OFF while wing anti-
ice or tail de-ice is on (TRC NO MODE light will be on).
• While operating in EPR LIM mode with ATS engaged, icing of the engine pressure ratio probes
may cause throttles to retard. The EPR indication will be the same the limit shown in the TRP. If the
engines are icing at different rates, the ATS may disconnect. If the thrust levers retard, degradation
of climb performance may occur. If allowed to continue in indicate airspeed or mach mode, a descent
will be initiated. If in vertical speed mode, airspeed will decrease.
• The other engine parameters, especially N1, can help with the decision about erroneous indicated
EPR.
Note: If engine parameters fluctuate maintain the eng ign selector on SYS A or B alternatively.
Move the engine anti-ice switches to OFF. Observe that L/R ENG VALVE ann come on and go off, and that
L/R ENG ANTI-ICE ON lights go off.
Normal Procedures
DC 9/80 II
OPERATIONS MANUAL 26/09/18
Chapter 2 - 35/60
NOTE: If the outside air temperature is 10° C or more, moving the engine anti-ice switches to ON will
cause the TRC NO MODE annunciator light to come on. The light in the TRC mode button previously
selected for takeoff (either T.O. or takeoff flex) will go off and a flag will cover the EPR limit readout.
CAUTION: Anytime engine anti-ice is required, periodic engine run-up, to as high a thrust setting as
practical, (70% N1 for a minimum of 15 seconds is desired or alternately 60% N1 for a minimum of
40 seconds) should be performed to minimize the possibility of ice build-up during extended ground
idle operation. It is suggested that such run-ups need not be made more frequently than at 10 minute
intervals. If engine anti-ice is still required, subsequent airplane takeoff should be preceded by a
static run-up to as high a thrust level as practical with observation of EPR and EGT to assure normal
engine operation.
NOTES:
• Engine anti-ice should be on whenever icing conditions exist or are expected.
• Engine anti-ice should be used during ground operation if the outside air temperature is less than
6° C and visible moisture is present or, as icing hazard can exist during a cool damp day even in
bright sunshine, when the dewpoint and outside air temperature (RAT or SAT) are within 3° C of
each other.
• Engine anti-ice should be used during flight when the ram air temperature is less than 6° C and
visible moisture is present or if ice buildup occurs on the windshield wipers or edges of the
windshields.
• The higher the temperature, the higher the cloud liquid water content and the more severe will be
the icing conditions. At temperatures below -20° C, icing conditions encountered should be less
severe. However, heavy icing has on occasion been reported at temperatures as low as -60° C.
• When encountering engine inlet icing conditions and before the engine anti-icing system is turned
on, the engine ignition selector should be rotated to SYS A or SYS B.
Fan start is evidenced by a momentary increase of the AC load meter indication. If the heat
exchangers cooling fan does not start, the related air conditioning system will be inoperative on
ground. Normal operations will automatically be resumed in flight. If the ambient temperature is high,
it may be desirable to taxi with the APU supplying one air conditioning system. As a matter of fact,
when the APU is supplying only bleed air (APU generator not in use), it can deliver appreciably more
air than the idling engine.
If APU is not required, CM1 moves the APU master switch to OFF and verify that APU doors switch
is in AUTO to assure APU doors closing.
NOTE: The APU will shut down 60 seconds after the APU master switch is moved to OFF.
CM1 observe APU RPM and EGT indications decrease.
NOTE: If the APU is used for air conditioning during taxi, it has to be turned off before

performed to determine if crossfeed valve leakage is acceptable:
- Verify pneumatic crossfeed valves are closed.
- Turn ON the ice protection system.
- Check that pneumatic pressure quickly drops to less than 5 psi.
- L and R ICE PROTECT TEMP LOW and AIR FOIL ICE PRES ABNML annunciations will
be displayed.
- Turn OFF the ice protection system if no longer required.
Check data properly set then push the insert button for at least 5 seconds.
Ground crew will indicate, by hand signal, to CM1 that airplane is clear to be moved. CM1
acknowledge the signal.
TAXING
Completion of this procedure ensures that the airplane is safe for takeoff and is properly configured.
Before leaving the parking position: Move the flap/slat lever to O/EXT to enable the auto slat self test;
the SLAT AUTO light will come on momentarily to indicate slats have momentarily moved to fully
extended position. AUTO SLAT FAIL annunciation will come on if system failure is detected.
Move the flap/slat lever to selected takeoff detent. Observe SLATS T/O light is on, SLATS DISAG,
SLATS AUTO, SLATS LAND lights are off and flap position bars and takeoff CONDTN/FLAP readout
agree with selected flap setting.
For night operations, move the wing landing lights switches to EXT OFF and nose lights switch to
DIM or BRT as desired, and verify position/strobe light switch is in BOTH position.
Gently advance the thrust levers and simultaneously depress brake pedals to release parking brake;
the knob will return to its original position and the PARKING BRAKES ON ann. will go off.
Start taxi, check brake operation and brake pressure.
Notes
• If very heavy or uphill, 40% to 50% N1 RPM momentarily is maximum required to initiate
motion.
• Roll forward before turning.
CM1 maintain safe taxi speed, using idle power, and control direction of airplane by nosewheel
steering or rudder pedal steering. Nosewheel steering is sensitive, therefore ease pressure into and
out of turn and lead with rudder pedal steering. In addition, overshoot centerline during turns because
gear is considerable aft. If braking is required to maintain safe speed, apply sufficient pressure to
slow the airplane then release the brakes. Ridding of brakes will result in overheating and excessive
wear. Intermittent use allows cooling. The following steps must be performed after leaving parking
areas and before entering the active runway for takeoff:
- At start of taxi, allow the airplane to move forward prior to initiating any maximum nosewheel turning
angle.
- A contributing factor to tire failure during taxiing and takeoff is excessive heat buildup, caused by
long taxi distances and/or high taxi speeds: Do not normally exceed 20 kt during taxiing and go
even slower with high gross weight or if taxi distance is long.

CM2 announce and complete the check with the control wheel for aileron and column (full aft then
forward) for the elevator, through full range of travel.
Observe SPOILER DEPLOYED annunciation on when control wheel is moved and the ELEVATOR
POWER ON light on when the control column is in full forward position.
V Bugs..............................................................................................................................................CHECK 1/2
Verify airspeed reference bugs are set to V1, V2, flap retract and slat retract. Verify speed/mach
readout and associated command bugs are set to 250 knots.
Verify TRC and ART are set according to selected takeoff thrust level.
T.O. FLEX → assumed temp → ART OFF
TO NORMAL → Temp 00 → ART AUTO.
If takeoff flex is used, verify that correct assumed temperature is in ATS FMA. If normal takeoff is
used, verify that READY light is on.
Notes:
• If normal T.O. is used and ART READY light is off, check engines below 49% N1 RPM,
move the DFGS 1-2 selector to the alternate system and verify READY light comes on.
Consider ART inoperative if ART INOP annunciation occurs.
• Once ART is armed (both engines above 64% N1 RPM), any system failure or selection of
the alternate DFGS will result in ART actuation indicated by ART light on and reserve thrust
limit displayed on EEDP.
• If takeoff flex is used, ART switch must be in OFF (ART INOP ann. will be on with slats
extended).
• If a significant temperature inversion is known to exist: use Normal Takeoff Thrust. If both
engines are operating normally at time encountering an unknown temperature inversion: No
action is required. If one engine has failed at time of encountering an unknown temperature
inversion: Push GA button on TRP and adjust power manually to go-around EPR to
compensate power loss.
Verify that the aileron and rudder trims are at zero and stabilizer is set to the reading that appears in
the takeoff condition/long trim readout.

If indicated fuel temperature is 0°C or below, L and R fuel heat switches should be placed
(momentary) at ON position, thus giving one cycle (one minute duration) of fuel heating. CM2
observe FUEL HEAT ON lights coming on followed by fuel temperature and oil temperature increase
and going off after one minute.
Note:
• Both fuel heat switches and FUEL HEAT ON lights should be off before takeoff.
• With engines at idle, the fuel temperature rise is low. If fuel temperature does not increase
sufficiently, set 1.20 EPR and repeat heating cycle.
CAUTION:
No fuel temperature increase may indicate a malfunction in the first stage of the engine fuel
pump. Maintenance action is required before takeoff.
BEFORE TAKEOFF
This procedure must be performed just before entering the active runway for takeoff. Starting from this phase
of flight for work load sharing.
Set the Mode Select Knob in TA/RA position and TCAS A/N/B Button in ABV (Above) Mode with the
desired range.
PNF selects TERR Sw ON and the Navigation Display in ARC mode as per Normal Procedures.
Adjust brightness of display as required for clarity of information using the WX knob on EFIS dimming
panel.
On the WXR RDR Control Panel, push RADAR PWR button, select WX or WX+T mode.
Set tilt as required to monitor area just ahead and below intended path.
RUDDER TRAVEL UNRESTRICTED light must be on. All other lights/annunciations should be
normal for conditions.
Note: The ART INOP annunciation will be on if the ART switch is OFF
TAKEOFF
Note: If engines have been shut down for more than two hours, it is recommended that they
be warmed up at idle (or at a thrust setting normally used for taxi operation) for five minutes
before advancing the thrust levers to takeoff thrust.
PF advance thrust levers to 1.4 EPR or 80% N2 (throttles approximately vertical) and check that the
EPR's are approximately matched and other engine parameters normal.
Note: When both engines are operating above 64% N1 and the ART READY light is on,
selecting the alternate position on the DFGS selector will activate the ART system on
both engines.
Autothrottle...................................................................................................................................ENGAGE 1/2
NOTE: At 60 knots, the autothrottle system clamp (CLMP) mode will engage removing power
from the autothrottle system servo.
Notes: Within 60 KTS, PNF checks N1 to be above minimum charts value for actual OAT and
takeoff EPR as per tables reported in Final Cockpit Preparation.
If a manual takeoff is desired, leave autothrottle switch in OFF position. PF advance thrust
levers in a rapid but smooth manner to takeoff EPR. PNF adjust throttles as necessary to set
takeoff EPR's with final readjustment of static takeoff thrust by 60 knots.
PF hold control wheel to ensure crosswind aileron correction and maintain forward pressure on
control column.
NOTES
• During crosswind takeoff, the upwind wing will have a tendency to rise soon after brake
release and the nose turn into the wind. Therefore, control wheel deflection must be applied
into the wind to maintain wings level. This deflection will not affect the takeoff performance.
• Directional control is maintained by use of rudder pedal steering, with the rudder becoming
aerodynamically effective at approximately 50 knots. As the speed increases, the aileron
deflection requirement will decrease but it will never diminish to zero throughout the ground
roll. The primary objective is to KEEP THE WINGS LEVEL AND THE AIRPLANE GOING
STRAIGHT DOWN THE RUNWAY.

PNF monitor all engine parameters for normal indications. Announce "Takeoff thrust set" within 60
knots and "Clamp" after FMA check at 60 knots. PNF also check WHEEL NOT TURNING light is off.
Notes
• After EPR setting within 60 knots, the EPR indications may vary slightly during the takeoff
and acceleration phases due to ram effect, temperature and altitude changes. No action
should be taken to correct these variations except to prevent exceeding engine limits.
• The illumination of the WHEEL NOT TURNING light indicates a wheel problem and an
attempted abort at high speeds could result in a blown tire, if it had not already occurred.
This could compromise the stopping ability.
• If WHEEL NOT TURNING light comes on prior to V1-20 KIAS reject takeoff, return to ramp
and have maintenance determine the cause.
At 80 knots, PNF calls "80 knots". PF cross-check reading with his airspeed indicator/airspeed stdby
indicator and calls “CHECKED”.
PNF announce V1 speed and rotate order as they are achieved during takeoff roll.
At V1 PF must have both hands on the control wheel. PF rotate the airplane at VR using smooth
continuous rotation without hesitation which will require approximately 5 seconds to reach takeoff
attitude (20° max). At lift-off the airplane will have 8° of pitch.
Notes
• Abrupt control applications particularly when using VRMIN speeds and low takeoff flap
settings, must be avoided during lift-off in order to preclude striking the tail. Both early and
late rotation will increase takeoff distance.
PNF monitor rotation and when a positive rate of climb is established announce, "Positive climb".
PF ensure that a positive rate of climb is established and call, "Gear up".
PNF acknowledge "Gear up" then pull and lift landing gear lever to UP. PNF observe gear lights are
off and report. "Gear up, lights out".
Notes
• Gear retraction cycle time is 8.5 seconds.
• After takeoff in slush or wet snow and when clear of obstacles, extending and retracting the
landing gear may reduce ice accumulation and the possibility of gear door freeze-up.

AFTER TAKEOFF
This procedure must be performed at the end of takeoff phase after slat retraction. Completion ensures that
airplane is properly configured for the coming phase of flight.
If engine ignition is not required, CM1 rotates engine ignition selector to OFF, otherwise select SYS A
or SYS B alternatively every 10 minutes.
Note: Ignition should be used to provide flameout protection when encountering inlet icing, severe
turbulence, heavy rain or other unusual operating conditions.
If fuel in center tank is present, set both center tank pumps ON.
When the center tank fuel quantity indicator shows empty, CM1 moves both center fuel tank pump
switches to OFF. Maintain ON all left and right fuel tanks pumps switches.
PNF move left and right engine hydraulic pump switches to LOW and check that hydraulic system
still operates at about 3000 psi, then move transfer pump and auxiliary hydraulic pump switches to
OFF and check that hydraulic system pressure decreases to 1500 psi.
Note: It may take a few minutes for the systems pressure to decrease to 1500 psi, especially
if there are no demands on hydraulic power.
CM1 verify that the red ARM placard of the speed brake lever is not exposed.
At transition altitude, PNF call, "Transition altitude", CM1 and CM2 set altimeters to 1013 millibars
and cross-check indications. CM1 set also the stand-by altimeter to 1013 millibar.
CLIMB
EOAP ..................................................................................................................................................CHECK 2
Observe EOAP annunciations indications are normal. After airspeed exceeds approximately 180
KIAS, observe the RUDDER TRAVEL UNRESTRICTED light is off.
Note: If RUDDER TRAVEL UNRESTRICTED light remains on, refer to Abn. Proc. RUDDER
TRAVEL UNRESTRICTED LIGHT ON ABOVE 180 KIAS.
If radar is required, select the ARC mode and the desired RANGE on Mode Select Panel. Then, on
the WXR RDR Control Panel, turn radar on; select WX or WX + T mode and set tilt to monitor area
just ahead and below intended path. Adjust (if necessary) the WX Brightness on Control and
Dimming Panel.
De-selects the EGPWS system when terrain/obstacle are no longer a factor. Use Weather Radar as
required.
Note: If the system generates a caution or a warning, while the TERR Sw is off, the terrain data is
automatically displayed on the Nds selected in ARC or MAP mode.
When appropriate, switch the seat belts sign off by setting seat belts switch to the AUTO position.
The AUTO position will permit the intervention of seat belt signs in case of decompression.

Monitor traffic below in order to plan contingencies in case of a rapid descent.
Engines
As duties permit monitor EPR, EGT, N1 and N2 parameters to ensure that all are within normal
operating range; check that fuel flow indications are normal for the phase of flight; observe oil
quantity, oil temperature, and oil pressure displays for normal indications.
Fuel System
Verify proper fuel feed configuration and balance, normal fuel quantity indications and fuel
temperature within normal range.
Monitor fuel consumption against your flight plan at constant intervals. Check Fuel on Board + Fuel
Used=Block Fuel to detect eventual fuel leaks.

Scan hydraulic system panel and observe that hydraulic pressure and quantity are normal and
light/annunciations are off.
Electrical System
Scan electrical panel for normal indications.
Pressurization
Observe normal cabin climb rate, cabin altitude and differential pressure indicator shows normal
pressurization operation.
Note: If a rapid airplane climb or descent becomes necessary during flight, adjust the rate limit
control knob so that the desired cabin altitude can be reached prior to or at the same time the
airplane reaches the intended flight altitude.
When operating in RVSM airspace cross-check altimeters indications every one hour; check that the
main altimeter indications are within the instrument tolerance (200 ft).
The usual scan of flight deck instruments should be sufficient.

DESCENT PREPARATION
This procedure must be performed prior to start of descent. Completion ensures proper setting of airplane
systems for the subsequent phase of the flight as well as acquisition of all operational data and information
required for descent, probable holding and approach to landing.
CM2 computes landing data according to latest information received and using estimated landing
weight rounded to the next 1000 kilogram. CM1 confirms these values.
Landing data should include MLW, target speed VMAN and GA speed.
Set the V bugs to VMAN UP/RET, VMAN 0/EXT, VMAN 15/EXT and VTH 28/EXT or VTH 40/EXT.
Prior to arrival phase, the flight crew should verify that the correct terminal procedure has been
loaded.
• PF inserts RWY and APPR procedure, STAR and TRANS as applicable.
• PF should read on MCDU the track and distance to waypoint for STAR, APPROACH and MISSED
APPROACH.
• PNF should cross-check on applicable charts.
Set altimeter altitude reference bugs to MDA value for non precision approaches or DA value for
precision approach.
MDF............................................................................................................................................_____/X-CK 1/2
Determine the MDF (Minimum Diverting Fuel) from flight plan and compare it with the estimated fuel
on board at destination.
CM1 and CM2 set DH value for precision approach or 500 feet in case of non-precision or visual
approach.
If indicated fuel temperature is 0°C or below, at stabilized engines operation, CM1 observe oil and
fuel temperature, then momentarily move the fuel heat switches to ON and observe the FUEL HEAT
ON lights coming on, followed by fuel temperature and oil temperature increase
Notes
• If fuel temperature indication is not available monitor closely the oil temperature.
• In case the test is unsatisfactory, refer to Abn. Proc. FUEL HEATER FAILURE.
• Both fuel heat switches and FUEL HEAT ON lights should be off before final approach.
• With engine at idle, the fuel temperature is low. If fuel temperature does not increase
sufficiently, set 1.20 EPR and repeat heating cycle.
• No fuel temperature increase may indicate a malfunction in the first stage of the engine fuel
pump.
When descending to airports with high humidity, CM1 should move windshield anti-fog switch to ON
to prevent visual impairment during approach, landing and taxi.
CM2 move engine hydraulic pumps switches to HI, observe both hydraulic systems pressure
indicate/reach between 2800 and 3200 psi and both HYD QTY amber annunciations on ESDP are
off.
CM2 observe brake pressure indications are approximately same pressure or higher than
respective hydraulic system pressure.
During descent, after engine thrust reduction, PNF check the cabin rate of descent and check that
cabin altitude is approximately at field elevation before landing.
Note:
For high speed descents or for descents from flight level 310 or above, select a higher cabin
rate on cabin pressure controller.
DESCENT/APPROACH
DESCENT.................................................................................................................................... MONITOR PF
Descent should be planned without speed brakes, but if required they can be fully extended.
This will increase the rate of descent by 1000 to 1500 feet/minute and reduce the deceleration
time/distance by 50%.
It is recommended to keep one hand on the speedbrake handle until speedbrakes are retracted.
Note: Operate speedbrake lever with care to avoid abrupt airspeed changes. Speed brakes
effect is proportional to airspeed.
CAUTION: The speedbrakes shall be in the RET & DISARM position before lowering the
flaps or extending the landing gear.
CM1 and CM2 cross-check flight instruments for agreement. Observe that no warning messages are
in view.
Set required radio aids for approach, verify VHF NAV and ADF equipment are tuned to desired
frequency and necessary navigation courses are properly set. Verify that marker volumes on audio
panels are properly set, if required.
CM1 verifies the no smoking light switch is in ON and the seat belts light switch is in ON.
CM1 check all left and right fuel tank pump switches are ON, set center fuel tank pump switches to
OFF and verify the fuel crossfeed lever is OFF.
At transition level CM1 and CM2 set altimeters to QNH and cross-check indications. CM1 will also
set the standby altimeter on QNH.
Note: If approach clearance has been issued, QNH may be set above transition level
provided that level flight above transition altitude is not anticipated.
FINAL
This procedure must be performed to prepare the airplane in the landing configuration. Completion ensures
the airplane is safe for landing.
PF reduces airspeed at or below flap/slat operating speed and call, "Flap/slat __/Extended".
PNF ensure that conditions for flaps and slats extension are met then acknowledge, "Flaps/slats
__/Extended" and move flaps/slat lever to __/EXT.
PNF observe that flap position indices show __/__, SLATS T/O light is on, and SLATS DISAG light is
off and report, "Flaps __/__ light on".
For ILS, VOR or VORDME approaches intercept the ILS using the VOR LOC mode.
For NDB approaches use HDG SEL mode to track NDB bearing.
When the localizer/VOR radial starts moving, PNF calls, "Loc/Radial alive". CM1 and CM2 monitor
capture.
When capturing/established on the LOC, select ILS or AUTO LAND mode, as required.
When the glide slope pointer starts to move downward, PNF call, "Glide alive", then CM1 and CM2
monitor glide capture.
PF set Missed Approach Altitude when appropriate.
For Non Precision Approaches use V/S mode. Select required V/S 0.3nm prior to the FAF.
Decelerate and configure in order to be at the FAF in final landing configuration.
PF calls, "Gear down". PNF ensure that conditions for gear extension are met then acknowledge,
"Gear down" and move the gear lever to DOWN. When the 3 green lights are on, report "Gear down,
green lights".
CAUTION: After complete gear extension, control that amber light is off.
Notes:
− Gear extension cycle time is 15 seconds.
− Approach idle is available when nose gear extension cycle is completed.
PNF push the GA button and observe the GA light comes on.
CM1 moves the wing landing and nose lights switches to EXT ON and BRT respectively.

PF check airspeed not above 28 flaps operating speed and calls, "Flaps 28".
PNF ensure that conditions for 28 flap extension are met then acknowledge, "Flaps 28" and move
flap/slat lever to 28/EXT.
PNF observe that flap position shows 28/28 and report, "Flaps 28".
PF ensure that conditions for 40 flap extension are met and call, "Flaps 40". PNF cross-check
conditions for 40 flap extension then acknowledge, "Flaps 40" and move flap/slat lever to 40/EXT.
PNF observe that flap position indices show 40/40 and report, "Flaps 40”.
Notes:
• During the entire final approach maintain the stabilizer properly trimmed to obtain maximum
efficiency and full elevator travel.
• If during final approach, due to turbulence, wind shear or other reasons, an airspeed loss or
an increase in rate of descent is encountered, in addition to the required (even considerable)
attitude corrections, increase thrust (even considerably) without hesitation, even though
autothrottles are being used.
CM1 check that AUTO SPOILER FAIL annunciation is off then move the speed brake lever to ARM.
CAUTION: Ensure that spoilers are not deployed until airplane is on the ground.
Check Missed Approach Altitude has been set. Set the bank angle limit selector to 15°.
Reaching minimum altitude for autopilot use, if still engaged, PNF call, "Autopilot disengage". The
autothrottle will normally remain engaged until reverse thrust is applied.

GO-AROUND
This procedure describes the actions required to perform a two engine automatic go-around after landing flap
selection.
CAUTION: If go-around is initiated after runway contact, manual go-around procedures must
be used.
Note: The autopilot "minimum abort height" was determined to be 20 ft GND when using
normal go-around procedure and with both engines operating. "Minimum abort height" is
defined as the minimum altitude for initiating go-around without a wheel strike.
Notes:
• If TO/GA button is pushed when flaps/slats are not in landing configuration, the autopilot
will disengage and only FD go-around guidance is available.
• During missed approach procedure (Both two engines and one engine) the speed
reference will be the speed of go-around initialization, but not less than 1,3 VS+5 KIAS (In
case RUDDER CONTROL is in MANUAL not less than 135 KIAS) or greater than 1,3 Vs+ 25
KIAS.
Autopilot will roll airplane to wings level and rotate it to a pitch attitude to maintain go-around
reference speed (maximum pitch attitude is 20° airplane nose up). Airplane will maintain heading
existing when bank angle is less than 3°.
Note: Autopilot will disconnect if heading select is engaged, during a single engine go-
around.
Autothrottle FMA's change from SPD (plus selected value) to EPR GA, arm mode goes blank, and
roll and pitch annunciators display GO RND. The fast slow pointer on each PFD will provide speed
guidance during go-around.
Notes
• When pressure on the thrust levers is released, the autothrottle system will refine the go-
around thrust setting.
• The thrust rating panel automatically changes to go-around (G A) if not previously
selected.
Notes:
• If the airplane touches down momentarily after engagement of autopilot go-around, the
autopilot will remain engaged. The autopilot disengages if the go-around mode is selected
after runway contact is made.
• Rudder control will remain in parallel mode, until go-around mode is disengaged, to provide
engine out compensation if required.

LANDING
FLARE ........................................................................................................................................ PERFORM PF
PF cross the approach end of the runway at 50 feet, then, as the airplane enters ground effect (at
approximately 20 feet) check the wings level and perform a gentle flare.
Notes:
• In case of cross-wind landing, at approximately 100 feet (GND) gradually change the
approach crab angle to wing low technique. Control drift with aileron into the wind and use
opposite rudder to maintain airplane alignment parallel with the centerline. Airplane can
touch down on upwind wheels first. Remember that wing tip will contact ground at
approximately 9° bank angle.
• Approach and Touchdown speeds will be higher than normal, due to gust factor corrections,
therefore do not hold off, but FLY airplane FIRMLY ONTO GROUND AND GET
NOSEWHEEL ON RUNWAY FOR MAXIMUM CONTROL.
• After touchdown, maintain control wheel into the wind and apply corrective rudder inputs to
aid for directional control.
If the autothrottles have not reached idle thrust by this time, manually reduce to idle. It is suggested
to have both hands on the control wheel in order to avoid overcontrol during touchdown.
CAUTION: With thrust levers out of idle, during spoiler extension at touchdown, the
speedbrake lever will automatically disarm, retracting the spoilers surfaces.
After main gear touchdown, PF smoothly lower the nosewheel onto the runway.
NOTE: In the event the aircraft should bounce after landing, hold or re-establish a normal
landing attitude and immediately add thrust as necessary to control the rate of descent.
When using this recovery technique, exercise extreme caution not to increase the pitch
attitude above normal as this will only increase the height of the bounce and may trigger
a stall warning. Do not push over, as this will only cause another bounce and damage the
nose gear. If there is any doubt as to a safe recovery, the Captain will call for and conduct an
immediately go-around. Apply go-around thrust and fly missed approach/rejected landing
profile. Do not retract the landing gear until a positive rate of climb is established, because a
second touchdown may occur during the recovery.
PNF observe speedbrake lever moves aft upon main gear wheel spin-up and report “Spoilers
Deployed”.
CAUTION: If the speedbrake lever doesn't move aft or doesn't remain at EXT, PNF report to
CM1 “NO SPOILERS”. CM1 will move lever aft to full extend position and up to latched
position.

When nose gear is firmly on ground, PF move reverse levers to idle reverse. PNF observe ENG
REVERSE UNLOCK (amber) lights on, then observe ENG REVERSE THRUST (blue) lights on and
call, "Ready for reverse". PF move the reverse thrust levers rearward and adjust levers to obtain
desired reverse thrust.
CAUTION: Lower thrust reverser buckets may contact runway if pitch attitude is in excess of
8 degrees.
When reverse thrust is verified, set thrust symmetrically between idle reverse and 1.3 EPR
as required. Below 80 knots, decrease thrust to the reverse idle detent. Thrust reduction to
the reverse idle detent should be accomplished by 60 knots unless higher thrust is required
for the existing conditions. If difficulty in maintaining directional control is experienced during
reverse thrust operation, reduce thrust as required. Do not attempt to maintain directional
control by using asymmetric reverse thrust. As airplane decelerates, reduce reverse thrust to
avoid engine surging or popping.
NOTES:
• If during reverse applications the reverser interlock will not release, or reverse thrust lever
returns to reduced thrust, move affected lever to forward idle and use unaffected lever as
necessary for deceleration within limits of directional controllability.
• When operating on wet runways, apply down elevator after nose gear contact. Apply
reverse thrust to idle reverse thrust detent. After reverse thrust is verified, gradually increase
reverse thrust as required to no more than 1.3 EPR.
• When reverse thrust is applied, the autothrottle switch drops to the OFF position and ATS
FMA's go blank. Red THROTTLE lights will not come on.
• On some airports, for low noise requirements, do not operate reverse thrust more than idle.
This limitation, is not valid on contaminated runways (snow, slush, standing water) or with
reduced braking effectiveness and when, at Captain's discretion, the maximum airplane
deceleration is necessary.
Notes:
• It is recommended that use of the nose gear steering wheel will be restricted to taxiing and
never be used for control of the airplane on the runway at ground speed in excess of 15
knots.

Chapter 2 - 56/60
AFTER LANDING
This procedure must be performed after leaving the active runway. Completion ensures that the airplane is
safe for ground operation after the landing phase and prepares the airplane for parking.
CAUTION:
Crew should be sensitive to ice that may form during taxi in.
Periodic engine run-up (with the engine anti-icing system on), to as high a thrust setting as
practical, (70% N1 for a minimum of 15 seconds is desired or alternatively 60% N1, for a
minimum of 40 seconds) should be performed to minimize the possibility of ice build-up
during extended ground idle operation in suspected icing conditions. It is suggested that
such run-ups need not be made more frequently than at ten minute intervals.
Push down on the speedbrake lever and observe that it moves forward to RET.
Move the wing landing lights switches to RET OFF and nose lights switch to DIM or BRT as
desired.
Set flaps to 15 for maximum protection against foreign object damage to the engines.
NOTE: To preclude engine FOD do not use high taxi speed. The recommended maximum
taxi speed is 20 kts.
Generally, the windshield anti-ice switch should be moved to OFF. For short stops, at low ambient
temperature, the switch should be left in ON to decrease thermal expansion and contraction cycles.
In order to reduce the load on the remaining generator, if one engine is shutdown, move the related
air conditioning supply switch to OFF. If both air conditioning systems are required, start the APU in
advance to supply the other air conditioning system.
As a fuel saving procedure and at Captain's discretion, it is recommended to shut down one engine
during taxi-in. Ensure adequate time for cool-down (5 minutes a stabilized idle thrust are advisable)
in order to reduce potential for oil coking and to improve starting reliability. Shut down the engine
(preferably the right one) every time all the following conditions are satisfied:
Note: With airplane on the ground and only one engine running ART INOP light will come on.
PARKING
This procedure ensures that the airplane is secured through its station and prevents undue wear.
Exterior lights, when used, shall be normally switched off before entering the parking stand in order
not to blind ground personnel. Anti-collision lights should be off after engine shutdown and position
lights should be off when no longer required.
FLAP/SLAT Lever...............................................................................................................................UP/RET 2
While entering the parking stand, CM2 move the flap/slat lever to UP/RET.
CAUTION: When retracting the flaps/slats, leave the FLAP/SLAT handle in O/EXT position
until the flaps are retracted. The FLAP/SLAT handle may then be moved to UP/RET. This
delay will help prevent damage to the upper arm of the slat sequence mechanism crank.
If parking in strong wind (Above 40 kts), or as precautionary measure during an overnight or long
stop, set stabilizer trim to zero to prevent airplane from tipping onto tail.
Parking Brake...........................................................................................................................................SET 1
Set parking brake and observe that PARKING BRAKE ON ann is on and brake pressure indication is
normal.
If APU is operating, verify that APU PWR AVAIL blue light is illuminated on and APU generator
voltage and frequency are normal.
If APU is not operating, ensure the availability of external electrical power and refer to Preliminary
Cockpit Preparation.
CM1 verify that the thrust levers are at idle, then move one at a time the fuel shutoff levers to OFF
and observe FUEL FLOW, N1, N2 and EGT indications decrease.
Note: If the engines have been operated at 85% N2 RPM or more for at least one minute
during landing, a five minute cooling period at idle should be accomplished before engine
shutdown.
Move all fuel tank pump switches to OFF, except the right aft tank pump if APU is operating.
Normal Procedures

OPERATIONS MANUAL 26/09/18
Chapter 2 - 59/60
If pressure is less than 12 psi or APU EGT is in yellow arc, operate only one air conditioning
system. Preferably close the L pneu x-feed valve and set L AIR COND SUPPLY Sw OFF.
Upon completion of flight, when combined messages appear on the EOAP, any EOAP
discrepancies that were detected since the EOAP was initially powered-up, result in illumination of
the MON cue switch/light. Pushing this light a summary of discrepancies will be displayed on the
right screen (the left screen is blanked). This “post-flight discrepancies report” is available until
power supply to the EOAP is removed.
Wait until ventral stairway is completely extended before turning the auxiliary hyd pump off.
If a long stop is anticipated, or during inclement weather, partially close the outflow valves as
follows:
Push and rotate the cabin pressure control wheel until the outflow valve position indicator nears the
INCR (VALVE CLOSE) position, then release control wheel.
Notes: With outflow valve position indicator in above position, the butterfly valve is closed
thus preventing rain and snow entry into the fuselage.
Move the cabin emergency lights switch to OFF verifying that the emergency light at the top of the
overhead panel is off.

Only if required by specific operational condition, higher extension speeds may be used
provided maximum allowable speeds are not exceeded.
SPEED ADDITIVE
The speed to add must be calculated as half of head wind (HWC Head wind Component)
plus the total gust factor. The total additive should not exceed 20 KIAS. Since the VTH
already includes 5 KIAS, maximum speed additive must be 15 KIAS.
WIND CORRECTIONS
To correct wind effects during visual and circling approaches:
- add or subtract 1 sec for each two knots of frontal component or tail.
- apply 1 degree of correction for each knot of XWC cross wind component.
Due to very short extension time in circling approaches, the above drift correction should
be started before runway end (about 45 secs before base turn).

GENERAL INFORMATION
Approching procedures with one engine are the same as with two engines. Maximum flaps
extension for landing with one engine is 28/EXT.
To fly any configuration with one engine it is necessary to increase speed from .20 to .30
EPR.
A turn of 25° bank made at the VMAN creates a descent rate (VZ) of about - 250 ft/min or
requires a power increase of about .05 EPR for two engines or .15 EPR for one engine.
Gear retraction at VMAN and 15/EXT creates a VZ of -150 ft/min or requires a power
increase of about .05 EPR for two engines and 0.07 for one engine.
Auto throttle can be used in every phase of approach, and can be used even with one
single engine, in this case throttle must be allineated.

Consider touching down on the side of the runway corresponding to extended
main landing gear.
- Gear lever Down
- Do not arm spoilers to prevent abrupt decrease of lift on the unsupported
wing at touchdown
- Touchdown on the extended main gear and hold the nose gear off the
runway as long as possible
While elevator control is still effective, lower the nose gear gently to the runway
and hold wings level with ailerons as long as possible.

2. SPEED REGIMES
- The climb speed schedule is:
250 KIAS below 10000 ft
290 KIAS up to 26900 ft
.72 MACH above 26900 ft
- The speed schedule 300 KIAS / .75 MACH is recommended as standard economical
cruising. LRC is used for the diversion to the alternate.
a) General
The MTOW values given in the Runway Length Limitation tables are based on the use of
the “NORMAL T.O. THRUST”.
Although the “NORMAL T.O. THRUST” is already lower then the maximum usable, an
additional reduction in thrust will furthermore improve the engine life.
Therefore whenever the “ACTUAL TOW” is lower than the “MTOW”, it is recommended
the use of the “FLX T.O. THRUST”.
The procedure is based upon the determination of a higher “assumed temperature” for
which the performance limited takeoff weight is equal to the actual takeoff weight. This
“assumed temperature” is used instead of the actual temperature to determine the T.O.
EPR.
b) Operating Limitations
The method has to be used in conjunction with Fixed Flap given in Runway tables for DRY
and WET runway conditions.
2) Check if ACT OAT is equal to or lower then the value between brackets just under the
“Assumed TEMP” found.
ACT OAT is equal or lower:
The “Assumed TEMP” shell be used in determining the T.O. EPR.
ACT OAT is greater than the max value or NA is found:
In this case the FLX T.O. is not allowed and NORMAL T.O. must be used.

NOTE
In real life airlines compile Runway Tables for each runway that is flown by their MD82 fleet.
The values on the tables are calculated taking into account not only the runway length, but also the slope, the presence
of obstacles, etc. Since it is impossible for us to provide the data for every runway we have simplified the tables in order
to take into account only the field length. A real Runway Table will also give the corrected V 1, VR and V2 values for the
specific runway/condition that we have omitted.

procedure that does not connect with the present route or when we modify the route (for
example with a direct to) and must be eliminated before the autopilot can follow the lateral
and vertical profile created.
After a route is completed we should check the LEGS page (which shows all the fixes of

Altitude targets can be inserted proceeded by a slash. The format can be:
Speed constraint can be inserted only associated by an altitude constraint in the format:
CLB PAGES
The CLB Key displays the climb speed and altitude targets. CLB is a one-page format.
Unless speed / altitude restrictions exist, the default schedule is 250 KT climb to 10,000
feet and economy climb to cruise altitude.
In CLB the left side of the MCDU screen is speed and altitude related. The right side
defines waypoint speed and altitude constraints.
Pushing the CLB Key displays the active FMC climb page. Upon reaching the T/C point,
the MCDU automatically displays the CRZ page. Pushing the CLB Key after reaching T/C
would display a blank climb page.
Waypoint associated speed and / or altitude constraints may be deleted in the following
ways:
• Delete the waypoint from the RTE or LEGS page by the DEL Key or by route
modification.
• The DEL Key and appropriate speed / altitude LSK on the right side of the LEGS page.
• The DEL Key and LSK 1R on the CLB page.
• Lowering the cruise altitude to below the constraint altitude.
The waypoint associated speed and / or altitude constraints can be entered or changed
only on the LEGS pages.
Selecting a new CRZ ALT creates a new altitude target on the climb page and a new CRZ
ALT on the cruise page. Entering a CRZ ALT higher than the maximum certificate altitude
is rejected and a MCDU message, LIMIT ALT FLXXX, is displayed.

CRZ PAGES
The display changes from CLB to CRZ automatically upon reaching the T/C.
The CRZ mode is also displayed anytime the CRZ Mode Select Key is pushed.
The cruise page is inactive until T/C is reached.
Upon reaching the CRZ ALT, the page title reflects that it is active. The FMC tracks the
ACT ECON CRZ performance unless another selection is made.
The desired speed is entered in the Scratch Pad, line selected to LSK 2L, and executed
with the EXEC Key. Selecting and executing ENG OUT at LSK 5R or LRC at LSK 6R
makes either of these speeds the ACT CRZ speed. If one of these speeds is activated,
ECON CRZ is available at LSK 5L. Economy, LRC, and selectable speed cruise pages
display the optimum (OPT) cruise altitude. Optimum altitude is based upon existing weight,
cost index, trip length, and the same wind at all altitudes.
STEP TO a higher altitude appears at LSK 1R when the aircraft is more than 200 miles
from T/D.
Cruise climbs and cruise descents are made on the CRZ page. If the cruise altitude (CRZ
ALT) is changed to a higher altitude, the FMC commands a cruise climb (CRZ CLB).
Conversely, line selecting an altitude lower than CRZ ALT creates a cruise descent (CRZ
DES).
DES PAGES
The DES Key displays descent performance data on a single descent page.
This page becomes active automatically at the T/D (Top of Descent).
The aircraft starts descent only if the Digital Flight Guidance System (DFGS) is engaged in
VNAV and a lower altitude has been set in the altitude select window of the FGCP.
The FMC calculates an optimum descent path using idle thrust to meet all speed / altitude
and waypoint associated speed / altitude constraints to arrive at the FA (Final Approach
fix) at the proper altitude and 170 KTS. In the absence of other speed constraints, the
descent path is based on an ECON DES speed to 10,000 feet, deceleration to 240 KTS by
10,000 feet, 240 KT DES below 10,000 feet, and finally a deceleration to 170 KTS by the
FAF.
With the DFGS engaged in VNAV, the FMC attempts to maintain the descent path using
the elevators. If the speed drops 15 KTS below target speed above 10,000 feet or 10 KTS
below target speed below 10,000 feet, the FMC advances the throttles to regain the target
speed. The MCDU message DRAG REQUIRED appears if the speed exceeds the target
speed by 15 KTS above 10,000 feet or 10 KTS above target speed below 10,000
feet. The crew should use speed brakes to enable the FMC to maintain the desired
descent path.
Before reaching the T/D, DES may be initiated and the page activated by selecting and
executing DES NOW at LSK 6R.

VNAV CLIMB
In the CLB (Climb) page of MCDU it is possible to modify the speed that the FMS will
command for the climb phase of the flight. ECON speed (LSK3L) is the optimal speed
calculated by the FMS. SPD TRANS (LSK3L) is a speed restriction (250KIAS) below
FL100.
Delete the restriction 250/FL100: Push the DEL key and then LSK4R
To add again a restriction (i.e. 230KIAS below FL080) type 230/8000 and push LSK4L.
Change the climb speed: type the desired speed, i.e. 300 (for 300 KIAS) or .760 (for
MACH .760) and push LSK2L. If the speed is entered in the format 300/.760 the FMS will
use the IAS or the MACH as a function of aircraft altitude.
Push LSK6R (prompt CLB DIR), to bypass altitude constraint associated to waypoints an
continue climb to FGCP armed altitude, or FMS CRZ inserted altitude, if lower.
