g. Visual Scene—Ground Assessment. 

Select 3 

different airport models and perform the fol-
lowing checks with Day, Dusk and Night se-
lected, as appropriate: 

(1) Visual Controls. 
(a) Daylight, Dusk, Night Scene Controls. 
(b) Flight deck ‘‘Daylight’’ ambient light-

ing. 

(c) Environment Light Controls. 
(d) Runway Light Controls. 
(e) Taxiway Light Controls. 
(2) Airport Model Content. 
(a) Ramp area for buildings, gates, 

airbridges, maintenance ground equipment, 
parked aircraft. 

(b) Daylight shadows, night time light 

pools. 

(c) Taxiways for correct markings, taxi-

way/runway, marker boards, CAT I and II/III 
hold points, taxiway shape/grass areas, taxi-
way light (positions and colors). 

(d) Runways for correct markings, lead-off 

lights, boards, runway slope, runway light 
positions, and colors, directionality of run-
way lights. 

(e) Airport environment for correct terrain 

and significant features. 

(f) Visual scene quantization (aliasing), 

color, and occulting levels. 

(3) Ground Traffic Selection. 
(4) Environment Effects. 
(a) Low cloud scene. 
(i) Rain: 
(A) Runway surface scene. 
(B) Windshield wiper—operation and sound. 
(ii) Hail: 
(A) Runway surface scene. 
(B) Windshield wiper—operation and sound. 
(b) Lightning/thunder. 
(c) Snow/ice runway surface scene. 
(d) Fog. 

h. Takeoff. 

Select one or several of the fol-

lowing test cases: 

(1) T/O Configuration Warnings. 
(2) Engine Takeoff Readings. 
(3) Rejected Takeoff (Dry/Wet/Icy Runway) 

and check the following: 

(a) Autobrake function. 
(b) Anti-skid operation. 
(c) Motion/visual effects during decelera-

tion. 

(d) Record stopping distance (use runway 

plot or runway lights remaining). 

Continue taxiing along the runway while 

applying brakes and check the following: 

(e) Center line lights alternating red/white 

for 2000 feet/600 meters. 

(f) Center line lights all red for 1000 feet/300 

meters. 

(g) Runway end, red stop bars. 
(h) Braking fade effect. 
(i) Brake temperature indications. 
(4) Engine Failure between VI and V2. 
(5) Normal Takeoff: 
(a) During ground roll check the following: 
(i) Runway rumble. 
(ii) Acceleration cues. 

(iii) Groundspeed effects. 
(iv) Engine sounds. 
(v) Nosewheel and rudder pedal steering. 
(b) During and after rotation, check the 

following: 

(i) Rotation characteristics. 
(ii) Column force during rotation. 
(iii) Gear uplock sounds/bumps. 
(iv) Effect of slat/flap retraction during 

climbout. 

(6) Crosswind Takeoff (check the fol-

lowing): 

(a) Tendency to turn into or out of the 

wind. 

(b) Tendency to lift upwind wing as air-

speed increases. 

(7) Windshear during Takeoff (check the 

following): 

(a) Controllable during windshear encoun-

ter. 

(b) Performance adequate when using cor-

rect techniques. 

(c) Windshear Indications satisfactory. 
(d) Motion cues satisfactory (particularly 

turbulence). 

(8) Normal Takeoff with Control Malfunc-

tion. 

(9) Low Visibility T/O (check the fol-

lowing): 

(a) Visual cues. 
(b) Flying by reference to instruments. 
(c) SID Guidance on LNAV. 

i. Climb Performance. 

Select one or several 

of the following test cases: 

(1) Normal Climb—Climb while maintain-

ing recommended speed profile and note fuel, 
distance and time. 

(2) Single Engine Climb—Trim aircraft in a 

zero wheel climb at V2. 

N

OTE

: Up to 5

° 

bank towards the operating 

engine(s) is permissible. Climb for 3 minutes 
and note fuel, distance, and time. Increase 
speed toward en route climb speed and re-
tract flaps. Climb for 3 minutes and note 
fuel, distance, and time. 

j. Systems Operation During Climb. 

Check normal operation and malfunctions 

as appropriate for the following systems: 

(1) Air conditioning/Pressurization/Ven-

tilation. 

(2) Autoflight. 
(3) Communications. 
(4) Electrical. 
(5) Fuel. 
(6) Icing Systems. 
(7) Indicating and Recording Systems. 
(8) Navigation/FMS. 
(9) Pneumatics. 

k. Cruise Checks. 

Select one or several of 

the following test cases: 

(1) Cruise Performance. 
(2) High Speed/High Altitude Handling 

(check the following): 

(a) Overspeed warning. 
(b) High Speed buffet. 
(c) Aircraft control satisfactory.
