Anti-Ice and Rain
Icing conditions exist when
  • OAT is 10°C (50°F) or below during ground operations, takeoff, initial climb or go-around or
  • TAT is 10°C or below in-flight and
    • visible moisture (clouds, fog with visibility less than one mile (1600 m), rain, snow, sleet, ice crystals, and so on) is present or
    • standing water, ice, or snow is present on the ramps, taxiways or runways.
Wing Anti-Ice limitation Should be turned on at the first indication of icing as indicated by ice accumulation on the flight deck front window frames, windshield centre post, windshield wiper post, or side windows. The wing anti-ice system should remain on until the airplane has exited icing conditions. (Wing anti-ice inhibited on the ground.)
Run-Up
  • During prolonged ground operations when moderate to severe icing conditions exist, (temperature less than +1°C (34°F) in fog, drizzle or standing water) increase thrust to as a high thrust setting as practical (60% N1 desired) for 10 seconds at intervals no greater than 60 minutes.
  • Takeoff in MOD/SEV severe icing or following deicing must be preceded by static run-up to minimum of 60% N1 for 10 seconds and stable engine operation checked prior to start of takeoff.

For flame-out prevention from ice ingestion, Engine Ignition is automatically activated when the Engine Anti-Ice Switch is turned on, provided the Engine Start Selector is in AUTO.

Automatic Flight
General
  • After Take-Off, the autopilot must not be engaged below 500 ft.
  • Use of Aileron trim with the autopilot engaged is prohibited.
  • Single channel ILS approach, disengage autopilot ≥ 180 feet above runway threshold elevation.
  • Using VS mode, disengage autopilot ≥ 300 feet above runway threshold elevation.
  • The autopilot must be disengaged in severe turbulence unless CWS is installed and selected.

Maximum Autoland Wind Speed
  • Headwind: 25 kts
  • Crosswind: 25 kts
  • Tailwind: 757-200 : 15 kts / 757-300: 10 kts

Automatic Landing
  • Autoland glide slope angles: 2.5° to 3.1°
  • Automatic landings may be made with Flaps 25 or 30 only.
  • All three Hydraulic systems must be operating.
  • Two Electrical systems must be operating (APU may be used to power one system).
  • The Inertial Reference Systems associated with the engaged autopilots must be in NAV mode.
  • At least two autopilots must be engaged and the autoland status annunciators must show LAND 2 or LAND 3 (as appropriate) at and below 600 feet.

Autothrottle
  • The autothrottle must not be used in a single engine approach.

Autopilot engagement Requires at least two operable FCCs. If Left AC Bus OFF, the left and centre FCCs are INOP. With only the right FCC powered, no autopilots can be engaged; however, the right flight director will operate.

Flight Director
  • Automatically displayed if related flight director switch OFF and go-around switch pushed, providing airspeed greater than 80 kts and Flaps not retracted.
  • On ground, with TO annunciated, FD pitch bar indicates approximately 8° up. After takeoff, FD commands pitch attitude to maintain:
    • Pitch command greater of V2 + 15 or lift-off speed + 15.
    • If current airspeed remains above the target speed for 5 seconds, target resets to current airspeed (maximum V2 + 25 kts)
    • IAS/MACH window speed if IAS/MACH window speed is changed to a speed greater than the target speed.

Go Around
  • After takeoff (CLB selected), GA arms if Flaps are not UP or glideslope capture.
  • When go-around initiated, commanded speed is either MCP IAS/MACH window or current airspeed, whichever higher.
  • If airspeed increases and remains above the initial target airspeed for 5 seconds, target resets to current airspeed (maximum of IAS/MACH window speed plus 25 kts).
  • If airspeed at initiation of go-around is greater than IAS/MACH window plus 25 kts, that speed is maintained. GA displays as the reference thrust limit on the primary EICAS engine display.
Communications
HF
  • Do not transmit on HF during refuelling or de/anti-icing operations.
  • Both radios can be tuned to the same frequency without interfering with each other and can receive simultaneously on different frequencies if neither is being used for transmitting.
Electrics
Generator DRIVE IDG low oil pressure or IDG high oil temperature.

Ground Service Bus Normally powered by Right Main AC Bus. Alternate sources are: Ground Service Bus powers:

Ground Handling Bus Can be powered only on the ground and only from the APU Generator or from the External Power source - not by the engine-driven Generators. Ground Handling Bus powers:

Hydraulic Driven Generator provides AC power to: provides DC power to:

The amount of DC power produced by the HDG is less than the DC power produced by fully charged main and APU batteries. When the HDG first begins to operate, the MAIN BAT DISCH and APU BAT DISCH lights may illuminate until the battery power decreases to the power level produced by the HDG.

Flight Controls
General
  • Maximum altitude for Flap extension: 20,000 ft.
  • Speedbrakes: Do not extend in flight when wing Flaps are at position 25 or 30.
  • If landing made in heavy snow or sleet, or if there is snow or slush on the runway, delay flap retraction beyond 20 until clearance received from engineers or an inspection has been carried out.
  • Stabiliser trim settings less than 3 units requires use of alternate stabiliser trim switches/levers

Jammed/
Restricted Controls
  • Columns and wheels connected through jam override mechanisms. If a jam occurs, the pilots can maintain control by applying higher than normal force to the other column or wheel to overcome the jam.
  • The Rudder pedals are rigidly connected between the two sides.

Elevator Feel

Stabiliser Trim
  • Powered by Centre and Right hydraulic systems, through motor and brake system.
  • Controlled automatically by autopilot or by Mach Speed Trim system when autopilots not engaged. Electric, Alternate or autopilot trimming inhibits Mach Speed Trim.
  • Automatic Stabiliser trim uses only one system and trims at half the electric or alternate trim rate.
  • Electric trim disengages single autopilot. Multiple autopilots engaged inhibits electric trim switches. Alternate system does not disengage autopilot.
UNSCHED STAB TRIM Uncommanded Stabiliser motion is detected or, with Autopilot or Mach Speed Trim system engaged, Stabiliser moving opposite to direction signalled or alternate trim used with an autopilot engaged
STAB TRIM A brake has failed to release during electric trimming - system operating at half normal rate. If both brakes engaged, Stabiliser trim INOP

Rudder Ratio Uses both ADCs, two Rudder Ratio Changer modules and a single actuator (Left Hydraulic system) which dampens pilots inputs to the Rudder. Rudder response varies from approximately 30° up to 127 kts to 3.5° at 410 kts for full pedal travel.
RUDDER RATIO Indicates Rudder Ratio Changer system INOP or control inputs to Rudder not correctly modified:
  • Above 160 kt, avoid large or abrupt Rudder inputs.
  • If normal left hydraulic pressure available: Crosswind limit is 15 kt and Do not attempt autoland.

Yaw Dampers
  • 2 independent systems, powered by Left and Centre Hydraulics.
  • Both controllers take inputs from both ADCs and all 3 IRUs.
YAW DAMPER INOP Yaw damper INOP or no IRSs aligned or applicable (Left/Centre) hydraulics INOP

Flaps and Slats
  • Flap 1 = Flaps and Slats
  • Powered by Left Hydraulic System
  • Alternate system uses Right AC/DC.
  • Manoeuvring speeds allow for 25° bank plus 15° of bank safety factor before buffet is encountered.
Flap Load Relief If flap airspeed placard limit is exceeded with Flaps in the 30 position, flaps automatically retract to 25. When airspeed is reduced, flaps automatically re-extend.
Auto-Slats Upon receiving a signal from the stall warning system, the slats automatically extend from the midrange position to the fully extended landing position. The slats retract a few seconds after the signal is removed.
Alternate Flap/Slat
  • Alternate mode flap and slat extension is limited to Flaps 20.
  • Trailing edge flap asymmetry protection and flap load relief not available.
  • Leading edge Slat asymmetry is available
  • Autoslats not available, therefore slats fully extended at Flaps 20.
  • Extension of Flaps and slats to position 20 requires approximately 2 minutes

Pitch Limit Symbol
Use of Wing Thermal Anti-Ice (WTAI) increases stick shaker speed by about 5 kt for the remainder of the flight. Consequently, PLI pop-up will occur about 5 kt earlier than if WTAI had never been used.
Glideslope Pointer Not displayed if either glideslope unusable or aircraft track and front course selected on the ILS panel differ by more than 90°.
Rising Runway Symbol Displayed when localiser pointer is displayed and radio altitude below 2500 ft. Begins rising at 200 ft.

Heading Reference Switch
  • Selects magnetic or true reference for both HSIs, both RDMIs, the AFDS and both FMCs
  • NORM - Compass display automatically referenced to true north when the airplane is operating within the polar regions and magnetic north when operating outside Polar Regions. In Polar Regions, a heading flag shows on RDMI.
  • TRUE - Compass referenced to true north regardless of operating area. With RDMI referenced to true north, positioning an ADF/VOR selector to VOR causes the associated pointer failure flag to appear.

Standby ADI
  • Total AC failure: Supplied by Standby DC Bus for approximately 90 minutes
  • ILS information is provided from the C-ILS receiver (Standby AC Bus)

Air Data Left instruments use left ADC, Right instruments use right ADC. Opposite ADC available as an alternate air data source. Selecting Alternate does not affect other user systems (FMC, TMC, etc). Same applies to 757-300 ADIRUs.
FMC
Air Data
sources
  • Basic FMC
    • VNAV: Left ADC supplies altitude data and will match Captains Altimeter irrespective of which autopilot is in operation
    • Other modes (eg FLCH): obtain altitude commands from the Flight Control Computer (FCC). Each FCC normally uses Left ADC for left and centre Autopilot and Right ADC for right Autopilot.
  • PIP/Pegasus FMC
    • Left FMC uses left ADC and right FMC uses right ADC - VNAV mode on these aircraft will not differ from other FCC controlled modes.
    • Captains altimeter settings are followed for left and centre Autopilot operation, F/O altimeter settings are followed for right Autopilot.
Flight Management Navigation
