SPYDER NO FLAP BONUS QUESTIONS

Compare ground speed to approach descent angle to see proposed VVI required. Also shows FT/NM lost.

What is 1-1 landing distance based on? (1-1, A8.2.1) (p A8-5)

Firm contact of landing gear at touchdown

Spoiler initiation 1.3 second after touchdown

Max anti-skid brakes applied 1.6 seconds after touchdown

Thrust reverser initiation 2.6 secs after touchdown (max thrust 4.1 secs later)

A normal flare and touchdown with maximum antiskid braking immediately after nose gear touchdown could increase actual ground roll distance by approximately \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ feet. (1-1, A8.2.1) (p A8-5)

1000

Delayed application of maximum antiskid braking could further increase ground roll distance by approximately \_\_\_\_\_ feet per second of delay. (1-1, A8.2.1) (p A8-5)

250

Normal taxi with random light braking will produce a brake temperature increase of \_\_\_\_ °C. This temperature increase assumes a typical gross weight and moderate taxi distance; heat is generated by light braking and ground maneuvering. (1-1, A8.2.5) (p A8-8)

100

Extended taxi operations may produce brake temps greater than \_\_\_\_ °C. (1-1, A8.2.5) (p A8-8)

100

Extended taxi is defined as a taxi segment exceeding \_\_\_\_\_\_ feet. (1-1, A8.2.5) (p A8-8)

10,000

When does the flight engineer have to compute predicted brake temps for landing? (1-1, A8.2.5) (p A8-8, A8-9)

Max anti-skid braking is used

Any flight shorter than 1 hour

Landing above 600,000 lbs (regardless of flap setting)

Any time runway length is shorter than twice calculated min run landing data

Flap setting less than 40%

Brake limits will be checked during all landings at heavy gross weight, flap settings less than 40% or when \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. (1-1, A8.2.5) (p A8-8, A8-9)

Max anti-skid braking is used.

What is the minimum speed on downwind during a no flap? (p 2-193, Figure 2-19)

100% VAPP + 60

What is the minimum speed on base during a no flap? (p 2-193, Figure 2-19)

No flap approach speed + 20

When can you slow down to no flap approach speed? (p 2-193, Figure 2-19)

Established on final (no turns)

Turning to final on a no flap approach, what is the minimum speed? (p 2-193, Figure 2-19)

No flap approach speed + 20

If you go around on a no flap what speed do you maintain? Do you go to flaps 40%? (no ref)

No flap approach speed; NO

What are the only four approved calls by the PM when the thrust reversers are deployed upon landing? (2.36.1) (p 2-198)

ALL FOUR, INBOARDS ONLY, OUTBOARDS only, NO REVERSE

Exceeding reverse thrust idle below \_\_\_\_ KCAS at any time will require an engine and TR systems inspection and a 781A entry will be made. (2.36.1) (p 2-199)

50

What is the no flap expected AOA? (2.36.9) (p 2-202.1)

7

WARNING: Bank angles should be limited to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ when the airplane is below 200 feet, and should not exceed \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ when at or below 50 feet. (3.45) (p 3-135)

15 degrees; 5 degrees

WARNING: Pitch angles should be limited to a maximum of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ when the airplane is below 200 feet. (3.45) (p 3-135)

10 degrees

WARNING: When the flaps are at less than \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ the landing gear warning horn protection associated with \_\_\_\_\_ will not be available. (3.54) (p 3-135)

80%; 80%

The downwind and base legs should be extended to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ of a normal flaps-down VFR traffic pattern. (3.45) (p 3-135)

150 percent

No Flap FYI: (3.45) (p 3-135)

Attempt to fly a normal glide path

Timely and positive power adjustments will be necessary to maintain desired airspeed

Approaching the threshold, power should be reduced earlier than normal, because, due to the low drag configuration, deceleration will be much slower

Do not perform a flare which results in a hold-off type landing, but allow the airplane to fly onto the runway

Ground effect will reduce the sink rate and cause the nose to pitch down

Any increase in nose up attitude will cause the airplane to float and may result in aft fuselage contact with the runway

Also, higher decelerations are possible on the ground than in the air; therefore, the shortest landing distance will result from flying the airplane onto the runway as soon as possible after threshold passage

When the main landing gear contacts the runway, begin to lower the nose wheel to the runway immediately.

When flying a no flap approach should you ever put the Spoiler Ratio Shifter switches in AUTO? (3.45) (p 3-135)

NO. Forcing the ratio shifter to provide a full 60 degrees of flight spoiler deflection may result in over-controlling.

Max crosswind and gross weight for a no flap approach (training only) is? (AFMAN 11-2C-5V3, 7.7, p 88)

15 knots; 525,000 pounds

Good Technique: When flying a no flap approach, consider programming in the no flap approach speed into the Landing Data so that the G/A pointer on the PFD depicts no flap approach speed. (no ref)
