Maxi allow cab press diff, T/O & LAND 0.11 psi fuel with less than full main tanks if the weight
and center of gravity of an aircraft with
AUTOMATIC LANDING nonstandard fuel in center tank remain within

DIMENSIONS

 The maximum glideslope angle is 3.25

degrees.
 The minimum glideslope angle is 2.5
degrees.
 Automatic landings may be made with
flaps 25 or 30 only.

FLCH
Use of FLCH mode is prohibited in approach after
FAF (in case of no FAF, starting point of Final
Approach Segment) for instrument approach or
below 1500 ft HAT/HAA for visual approach.

GROUND OPERATIONS
 For crosswinds greater than 35kts, limit
thrust to a setting normally used fortaxi (45
percent N1).
 With a tailwind component greater than
5kts and winds greater than 26kts, limit
thrust to a setting normally used for taxi
(45 percent N1).
 For winds greater than 55kts, limit engine
thrust to idle.
CAUTION! Engines must be shut down when
the 90 degree crosswind component exceeds
55 kts.

Flap Load Relief in Primary Mode

Flap load relief protects the flaps from excessive
air loads if flap airspeed limits are exceeded with
flaps 20, 25, or 30 selected. To reduce or
eliminate the exceedance, the flaps will retract to:

HYDRALICS
 B748 STUDY GUIDE
Nose wheel and body gear steering is powered
by hydraulic system 1.
Primary low speed steering control is provided by
a nose wheel steering tiller for each pilot. Limited
steering control is available through the rudder
pedals. The tillers can turn the nose wheels up to
70 degrees in either direction. A pointer on the
tiller assembly shows tiller position relative to the
neutral setting.
The rudder pedals can be used to turn the nose
wheels up to 7 degrees in either direction. Tiller
inputs override rudder pedal inputs.
Body gear steering operates when the nose
wheel steering angle exceeds 20 degrees. This
reduces tire scrubbing and lets the airplane turn
in a minimum radius. Body gear steering is
activated when ground speed decreases through
15 knots. As speed increases through 20 knots,
the body gear is hydraulically centred and body
gear steering is deactivated.
