bank one way to 45

° 

bank the opposite direction while maintain-
ing altitude and airspeed—check the fol-
lowing: 

(e) Controllability during maneuver. 
(3) Degraded flight controls. 
(4) Holding Procedure (check the fol-

lowing:)

following:) 

(d) Aircraft enters cloud. 
(e) Aircraft encounters representative tur-

bulence. 

(f) Rain/hail sound effects evident. 

As aircraft leaves storm area, check the fol-

lowing: 

(g) Storm effects disappear. 
(6) TCAS (check the following:) 
(a) Traffic appears on visual display. 
(b) Traffic appears on TCAS display(s). 
As conflicting traffic approaches, take rel-

evant avoiding action, and check the fol-
lowing: 

(c) Visual and TCAS system displays. 

n. Approach and Landing. 

Select one or sev-

eral of the following test cases while moni-
toring flight control and hydraulic systems 
for normal operation and with malfunctions 
selected: 

(1) Flaps/Gear Normal Operation. Check 

the following: 

(a) Time for extension/retraction. 
(b) Buffet characteristics. 
(2) Normal Visual Approach and Landing. 
Fly a normal visual approach and land-

ing—check the following:
