PREFACE
A procedure may be described as an orderly plan for accomplishing a specific task, and usually involves several steps. Technique may be described as the expert manner of performing these steps. Proper operating technique results in a higher degree of safety, better passenger comfort, less wear and tear on equipment, and increased fuel economy. At all times, the pilot should perform his/hers duties with awareness, intelligence and in anticipation of what will happen next, to ensure the safety and success of the flight.
TAXI
The main gear is approximately 70ft behind the pilots. When entering turns, the pilot should therefore overshoot the centerline to compensate for the aft position of the main gear. Avoid riding the brakes. Intermittent, positive application of the brakes will ensure cool brakes and less wear.
Taxi Thrust
To begin the taxi roll and break away from the ramp, release the brakes and smoothly increase thrust. On the ramp area, limit thrust to 1.2 EPR to minimize jet blast and avoid damaging equipment on the ramp area. When adding power to break away, set the power and wait for the engines and aircraft to respond. Do not continually increase thrust until the aircraft starts moving. Roll straight forward at first before turning to avoid the need for excessive thrust.
Taxiing
The MD-81 has a very responsive nosewheel steering and light nosewheel footprint. Special caution is therefore required when taxiing on wet or slippery surfaces. Turning to rapidly at a high taxi speed may cause the nosewheel to loose traction and skid. Heading control will not be regained until the speed has been reduced and the nosewheel deflection is reduced. The limit deflection angle for the nosewheel is 82 degrees left and right.
Anti-Skid
The anti-skid system should not be used while taxiing on the ramp area. Turn the anti-skid system on after leaving the ramp area, and off before entering the ramp area.
JET BLAST
When maneuvering on the ramp area special caution must be taken to avoid jet blast damage. Use the following technique when maneuvering on the ramp area: Apply thrust to a maximum of 1.2 EPR. Retard both throttles as soon as the aircraft starts rolling. If a tight turn is required, leave the power on at 1.2 EPR until the point where jet blast could cause damage, then close both throttles. This should give the aircraft sufficient momentum to sustain taxi out of the congested area. If 1.2 EPR is not sufficient to move the aircraft out of a gate area where there is danger of jet blast damage to ground equipment, the Captain should request a tow-out.
Zone 1: During breakaway power, the jet blast in zone 1 is powerful enough to up-root trees, cause structural damage to other aircraft, tip over and move heavy objects and break windows. Zone 2: During breakaway power, the jet blast in zone 2 is strong enough to weathercock unbraked aircraft, sway lift trucks, damage roofing and move unsecured objects. Zone 3: During breakaway power, the jet blast in zone 3 can move unbraked carts and small objects.
TAKE-OFF
Before Take-off
Normally, the Before Take-off checklist is performed while taxiing out to the take-off position. This checklist must be completed before commencing the take-off roll.
Rejected Take-off
The braking action provided by the autobrake system in a rejected take-off situation is very sudden and abrupt. Consider using manual braking during a rejected take-off situation if runway length is not critical and immediate maximum braking is not required.
Runway Alignment
On the runway, line up slightly left or right of the center line to avoid the centerline lights. These lights, which are embedded into the runway surface, can cause nosewheel thump during the take-off wheel. When the aircraft is lined up with the runway, check that the heading indication is about the same as the runway number. If a braked take-off is being made, make sure the nosewheel is aligned with the runway prior to releasing the brakes.
CLIMB
General
On the climbout, make shallow turns and smooth changes in attitude for passenger comfort.
Leveling Off
When the autopilot is engaged, closely monitor the FMA to ensure a smooth transition and level-off. Note that adjusting the pitch or vertical speed with the pitch control wheel may disengage the ALT CAP mode and engage VERT SPD mode.
CRUISE
Climbing to a Higher Altitude
Start a climb to a higher altitude by using the VERT SPD mode or by slowly increasing pitch if hand flying. When the aircraft has reached the desired climb speed, engage IAS/MACH HLD.
Cruise Speed
The cruise speed commanded by the PMS CRZ-OPT mode is the recommended cruise speed. This speed ensures efficient and economical fuel burn.
DESCENT
Descent Speed
Above the Mach crossover altitude, descend at the cruise Mach speed. Below the Mach crossover altitude, descend at 280KIAS. Determine the altitude difference (total altitude you need to descend) o 22,000ft Drop the last three digits o 22,000 22 Multiply by three o 22 x 3 = 66 For an unrestricted descent to a landing, add 10 NM. o 66 + 10 = 76 For a descent to an intermediate lower altitude, no additive is required. Add 2 NM for every 10 knots of tailwind and subtract 2 NM for every 10 knots of headwind. o 30 knots tailwind o 76 + (3 x 2) = 82 o Our TOD is approximately 82NM away from our landing destination or BOD.
HOLDING
Fuel Economy
When ordered to enter a holding pattern by ATC, maintain the highest possible altitude to lower fuel consumption. If prolonged holding is expected, request ATC to increase the size of the holding pattern. This will reduce the number of turns required. Turns require increased power and increased fuel burn. All holding should be flown with a clean configuration. For best fuel economy, use the speeds in the holding pattern speed chart. However, the pilot should always comply with the ATC minimum holding speed.
Thrust on Approach
Use the throttles as a primary flight control on approach. Use the throttles in coordination with the elevators to control airspeed, rate of descent and position on glide path. Always keep one hand on the throttles, even when using the autothrottle system. Note that in the event of a go-around, the JT8D engines need about 8 seconds to accelerate from approach idle to goaround power.
Glide Path
The normal approach path is based on a 3 descent flight path. Once established on the approach, make small adjustments to the glideslope, approach speed and trim. The approach style is essentially the same for VFR and IFR. Use the 1000 foot point on the runway as aim for the approach. This will ensure that the approach will not be short or unnecessarily long. The landing distance is affected by the glide path as well as the height above the runway threshold. For example, crossing the threshold at 100 feet instead of 50 can
Final Approach
A good rule of thumb on final approach to give a 3 glide path: One-half the ground speed (knots) times ten will give the required rate of descent. For example GS= 100, (100 / 2) x 10 = 500fpm Another good rule of thumb: For a 3 glide path maintain 300 feet of altitude for each mile from the touchdown. For example: If you are 5 miles from touchdown, 5 x 300 = 1500 feet. You should be at 1500 feet altitude when 5 miles from touchdown.

Directional Control
Differential braking may be used to aid in directional control after touchdown. Nosewheel steering should not be used until the aircraft is ready to turn off the runway.
Reverse Thrust
Reverse thrust should be applied immediately upon touchdown, as reverse thrust is most efficient at higher airspeeds. Early application of reverse thrust greatly reduces runway required for rollout, and greatly reduces brake temperature and wear. The application of reverse thrust tends to reduce and blank out the effect of the rudder. At 90 knots and 1.6 EPR, the rudder is almost completely ineffective. Immediately reduce reverse thrust to idle reverse if the aircraft starts drifting across the runway. This will restore rudder effectiveness and help regain directional control. Use of asymmetrical forward thrust to regain directional control is allowed. Use of asymmetrical reverse thrust is not allowed.
Speed Brakes
The automatic brake system is inhibited until the spoilers are deployed (manually or automatically). Monitor the automatic deployment of the spoilers at touchdown. Manually apply the spoilers if they fail to deploy automatically.
Brakes
The brakes slow down the aircraft by absorbing the motion energy of the aircraft. The brakes convert this motion energy into heat, which is dissipated through cooling. The brakes are required to absorb vast amounts of energy. The higher the speed is at the time the brakes are applied, the higher the amount of energy they have to absorb. While reverse thrust is more effective at higher airspeeds, the brakes are more effective at lower airspeeds. During a normal landing, as speed is being reduced, the brakes should be applied just prior to the termination of reverse thrust operation. This practice will result in the most economical landing performance.

GENERAL
Pneumatics
The pneumatic system provides pressurized air for cabin pressurization. Air conditioning, ice protection, engine starting, and potable water tank pressurization. For ground operation and engine starting, pneumatic pressure is supplied by the APU, by ground power equipment, or by an operating engine. In flight pneumatic pressure is supplied by the low and/or high stage compressors of both engines. Normally, bleed air from the left and right engines is supplied to the respective air conditioning units. Bleed air from both engines is supplied to the ice protection systems simultaneously. Pneumatic crossfeed valves permit operation of the air conditioning system and lee protection systems from either engine. APU bleed air is normally used only for engine starting and for ground air conditioning when the engines are not operating. Normally the right system operates from the right engine bleed air and supplies the passenger compartment temperature requirements. The left system operates from the left engine bleed air and supplies the flight compartment temperature requirements.
Pressurization
Pressurization is provided by a controlled flow of bleed air from the pneumatic supply, which passes through the air conditioning systems and is then ducted to the pressurized areas. Desired pressurization levels are maintained by regulating escape of the compressed air through the cabin air outflow valve. Normally, the outflow valve is automatically positioned by a dual automatic pressurization system to control cabin pressure rates from take-off to landing. Dual pressure relief valves are installed to protect the airplane structure from maximum input pressure. The relief valves prevent the cabin differential pressure from exceeding the maximum limit of 8.32 PSI. Negative pressure is relieved by the inward movement of the galley service and passenger entrance door seals, and one negative pressure relief valve installed in the aft pressure bulkhead. When operating on the pressure schedule, the cabin rate of climb will be proportional to the airplane rate of climb, with maximum limits as set by the rate limit knob. When climbing or descending toward a selected altitude above schedule, the cabin rate of change will be as selected on the rate limit knob. With the knob at the index mark, the rate limit is normally 700 fpm climb and 300 fpm descent.
Air Conditioning
Pressurized air from the pneumatic system is used for air conditioning and for pressurizing the airplane. During ground operation, pneumatic air to operate the air conditioning systems can be obtained from a ground source connected to the airplane, by the auxiliary power unit (APU), or by the engines. During flight, only the engines supply bleed air for operating the air condition. The airplane has two identical air conditioning systems, designed for independent or parallel operation.

GENERAL
General
The aircraft is equipped with two digital flight guidance computers (DFGC 1 and 2). Each DFGC operates independently of each other. The flight crew selects the operating DFGC with the 1-2 Selector on the Flight Guidance Control Panel. The 1-2 Selector is normally set to the side of the flying pilot. This allows the flying pilots navigation radio to be connected to the operating DFGC and therefore to the autopilot. maintain an existing heading fly to and maintain a preselected heading fly to, capture, and track a selected VOR or localizer course capture and track a glideslope runway alignment and flare for automatic landing.
The AP warning light on the FMA will come on if the AP disengages for any reason.
Autopilot
The AP function, in conjunction with the yaw damper function, automatically controls the airplane in pitch, roll and yaw maneuvering axes. The AP will actuate the appropriate control surfaces to control the aircraft for the selected AP mode of operation. The AP modes of operation will automatically control the aircraft for the following maneuvers: maintain an existing altitude descend or climb to and maintain a preselected altitude maintain a selected vertical speed, indicated airspeed, or mach number
GENERAL (contd)
Speed control
With the speed control function active the aircraft will pitch up/down to loose/gain speed. Speed control inputs for attitude control are displayed by the V-command bar and fast/slow indicator on the ADI. IAS Hold mode and Mach Hold mode are available. IAS and Mach Hold mode are used during climb and descent to maintain a constant airspeed. During take-off mode of operation, the Vcommand bar on the ADI will command a pitch attitude to maintain V2+10 KIAS for two engine operation. During go-around mode, the V-command bar on the ADI will command the go-around speed, which is the same as landing approach speed. Note: The default MSFS TO/GA mode is used for take-off and go-around operation. The autothrottle function is engaged by moving the AUTO THROT switch from OFF to AUTO THROT position. When the autothrottle function is disengaged the THROTTLE warning light on the FMA will come on. A clutch mechanism permits manual positioning of the throttles without disengaging the autothrottle function. However, the throttles should not be manually positioned, when the ATS is active, except when in CLMP mode or, during descent, when the autothrottle FMA annunciates LOW LIM. Overriding the autothrottle may cause excessive clutch wear requiring extensive down time to replace the autothrottle servo drive assembly.
Autothrottle
The autothrottle function automatically positions the throttles to maintain airspeed or engine thrust as required for the operational mode selected. The autothrottle function will control the throttles for the following maneuvers: take-off climb cruise holding approach flare (not simulated, manually retard the throttles) go-around
GENERAL (contd)
Performance Management System
The Performance Management System (PMS) operates as a fully integrated selectable mode of the Digital Flight Guidance System. The PMS is programmed to compute a cost efficient flight profile based on cost index value, airplane performance and manual inputs. The PMS is programmed to provide automatic protection against engine overboost, overspeed, minimum speed, and 250kts speed restriction below 10,000ft. The PMS continuously computes an optimum flight profile from present position to the bottom of descent (BOD). The PMS computed profile includes a top of descent (TOD) point for idle power descent to BOD. The PMS has three modes of operation: CLB (climb), CRZ (cruise) and DES (descent). Each of these modes can be operated in the optimum (OPT) submode for minimum operating cost or in the non-optimum (NONOPT) submode which uses manually entered speed, rate of climb/descent, and altitudes. Note: The NON-OPT mode is currently not simulated. However, the pilot may manually input speed and altitude.

GENERAL
General
The MD-80 electrical system is designed for simple and automatic operation. When a problem occurs, the system automatically takes the best course of action to maintain electrical power to the system. The airplane electrical power system consists of a 115 volt, 400 Hz AC power generating and distribution system. For control circuits, lighting and other load devices requiring DC power, 28 volt DC power is supplied by transformer-rectifiers (TR). Power for the DC system is supplied from two batteries when the main power distribution system is de-energized. A battery charger, powered from an AC bus, maintains the batteries in a charged state. The controls and indicators for the electrical system are located on the left side of the overhead panel. The APU generator is mounted directly on the APU, and driven at a constant speed by the APU governing system. Each engine-driven generator is driven through a constant-speed drive (CSD), which converts the variable speed output of the engine to a constant speed.
GENERAL (contd)
DC power distribution system
The function of the DC power distribution system is similar to the AC system in that the right and left system function separately. The DC system has a manual crosstie in the event of a failure of either side. In addition to the left and right systems, DC power is supplied from the battery.
Batteries
Two 14 volt batteries are connected in series to supply 28 volt DC power. The battery is automatically being charged when electrical power is on the aircraft and the battery switch is ON. When operating on emergency power, the batteries should last for 30 minutes.

GENERAL
The primary flight controls of the airplane consist of aileron, rudder and elevator control systems. Secondary flight controls consist of leading-edge slats, flight and ground spoilers, inboard and outboard flaps, and horizontal stabilizer. An anti-float tab, geared to horizontal stabilizer movement, is installed outboard of the gear tab. The purpose of the anti-float tab is to fly the elevator up when the horizontal stabilizer is trimmed nose up. Without this tab, the elevators tend to float at extreme nose-up trim settings. Stabilizer trim is accomplished by actuation of the LONG TRIM handle on the pedestal. Engine strakes are added to the engine nacelles to enhance longitudinal control for stall recovery. The elevators normally operate aerodynamically. However, for extreme high angle of attack flight conditions, a 3000 PSI hydraulic power augmentation system is installed for additional nose down capability. This feature is called Elevator Augmentation. The main purpose for the Elevator Augmentation system is to allow the airplane to recover from a deep stall when natural airflow across the tail is insufficient to fly the elevators. A Mach Trim Compensator is installed on the First Officers control column. The Mach Trim Compensator provides force to move the columns slightly aft when the airspeed is above M.80. This action offsets the effects of Mach Tuck that occurs at high speeds. When the airplane is parked, it is possible for the elevators to split due to tail winds. When this occurs, the flight crew may notice the control columns feel locked in position. The condition is removed as soon as the airplane is taxied and the natural airflow of the tail flies the elevator toward the neutral position.
GENERAL (contd)
Rudder System
The rudder normally operates in the powered mode and is actuated by hydraulic pressure. In the event of a system failure or by pilot selection, the rudder may operate in manual mode actuated by a control tab. A Rudder Unrestricted light on the overhead annunciator panel comes on whenever full rudder throw is available. Nose strakes are added to the forward part of the fuselage to enhance directional control during high angle of attack flight. The rudder pitot tube is electrically heated whenever probe heat is on.
Yaw Damper
A yaw damper is installed to provide damping of any lateral directional oscillation.
Flight Spoilers
There are two Flight Spoiler panel on each wing. These panels have a threefold purpose: 1. They are used as roll augmentation devices. 2. They are used as speed brakes when the aircraft is inflight. 3. They are used on the ground to act as Ground Spoilers.
GENERAL (contd)
Speed Brakes
In flight, manually moving the spoiler lever aft will extend the four flight spoilers to serve as speed brakes. When used as speed brakes, the spoiler panels will extend symmetrically up to a maximum of 35 degrees. In flight, if the speedbrakes are extended with the flaps extended 6 degrees or more, the Spoiler/Flap Extended light on the overhead annunciator panel and the Master Caution light will come on, and a warning horn will sound accompanied by the word Speedbrake. On the ground, if either throttle is advanced with the spoiler lever not fully forward, the take-off warning horn will sound accompanied by the word Spoilers. spoilers will cause the take-off warning horn to sound accompanied by the words Auto Spoiler. When the throttles are retarded to idle and reverse thrust selected during a rejected take-off, the spoilers will automatically deploy and initiate automatic braking. All spoiler panels will be extended to 60 degrees. Auto spoilers and auto brakes are applied until pilot takeover, by stowing the spoilers, or the airplane comes to a full stop.
Ground Spoilers
There is one inboard Ground Spoiler panel on each wing. These panels are locked down inflight and electrically unlocked on the ground. The Ground Spoilers will only operate during landing and rejected takeoffs.
Flaps System
There are two flap segments on the trailing edge of each wing. The segments are interconnected to form one flap on each wing. Flaps may be positioned in any of six permanent detents in a 0 to 40 degree range by movement of the flap/slat handle.
GENERAL (contd)
Leading Edge Slat System
The leading edge slat system provides wing lift augmentation. There are six slat segments on the leading edge of each wing. The segments are interconnected to form one slat on each wing. The slats are hydraulically operated. The slats are actuated by the flap/slat handle. Three slat positions may be selected: Retracted Mid-sealed Extended When the flap/slat handle is in the UP/RET position, the slats are retracted. When the flap/slat handle is positioned in the 0 to 13 range, the slats are in the mid-sealed position. When the flap/slat handle is position in the 15 to 40 range, the slats are in the extended position. Maximum airspeed with the slats in the extended position is 240 KTS. Maximum airspeed with the slats in the midsealed position is 280 KTS. Maximum airspeed with the slats in the retracted position is Vmo or Mmo. The aural and vocal warning system will be activated if the throttles are advanced for take-off and the slats are not extended. A cable operated indicator moves for and aft along a track on the pedestal to indicate the current nose up or nose down trim setting. When the horizontal stabilizer is moved, an audio signal will sound for every 2 of stabilizer movement. A vocal warning will be sounded whenever the stabilizer is moved by the autopilot at a rate greater than 20 in 30 seconds. A switch on the aft pedestal is used to stop a primary-trim runaway stabilizer condition. Note: In the real airplane the warning sounds are for every 1 of stabilizer movement and rate greater that 2 in 30 seconds. These values have been increased as the MSFS autopilot is very active on the stabilizer trim. This would have generated quite a bit of noise in the cockpit if the real values had been used. The stabilizer trim is electrically operated, thus stabilizer trim will be unavailable if a total loss of electric power occurs. The stabilizer will then be locked in the position it had at the time the electrical power was lost.
Horizontal Stabilizer
A movable horizontal stabilizer provides longitudinal trim. The stabilizer is moved by a jackscrew driven by an electric motor. The stabilizer trim is operated by moving the trim control handle on the pedestal. Operation of the trim control handle will cause the autopilot to disengage.
GENERAL (contd)
Take-off Warning
A take-off audible warning signal and voice warning will sound if the throttles are advanced for take-off together with at least one of the following conditions: the stabilizer trim is not set according to the computed take-off trim setting the flap/slat handle is not set in accordance with the setting on the Take-off Condition Computer the slats are not extended the spoiler lever is not fully forward the parking brakes are on.

SPEEDBRAKE/SPOILER
1. SPEEDBRAKE/SPOILER Lever Manual In flight, the speedbrake/spoiler lever is used to control the flight spoilers to act as speedbrakes by pulling the lever aft to the EXT position. On the ground, the lever is used deploy all spoiler panels, flight spoilers and ground spoilers.

GENERAL
General
The MD-80 aircraft is equipped with three fuel tanks. The total fuel capacity is 39 128 lbs (5840 US gallons). The main wing tanks each have a capacity of 9 266 lbs. The center wing tank has a capacity of 20 596 lbs. The Fuel Control Panel is located on the overhead panel. Low fuel pressure at the engine inlet is indicated by a light on the annunciator panel. Each engine can suction feed from the respective main tank. The APU can suction feed from the right main tank. Neither engine nor the APU can suction feed from the center tank.
Fuel feed
Each fuel tank has two AC boost pumps installed. Each main boost pump can supply both engines at take-off power. Fuel is normally provided to each engine from the respective main wing tank. Crossfeed from either main tank to either engine is available, but fuel transfer is not. The purpose of crossfeed operation is to correct a main tank imbalance. The Fuel Crossfeed Valve Lever is located on the pedestal. Fuel loaded in the center tank should be used before the main wing tank fuel. The two center tanks pumps are connected in series to provide higher pressure than that of the wing tank pumps, connected in parallel, and insure usage of the center tank fuel even with both main tank pumps operating. A 28 volt DC start pump, operated by a switch on the overhead panel, is installed in the right main tank and is used for APU or engine starting when AC power is not available.

GENERAL
The MD-80 hydraulic system consists of independent left and right systems. Each system has a reservoir and is pressurized by a single engine-driven pump.
Hydraulic Supply
The left and right hydraulics reservoir is located in the left and right main gear wheel wells. Each reservoir supplies fluid to its own system respectively.
Hydraulic Pumps
The left hydraulic system is pressurized by a pump mounted on the left engine and the right hydraulic system is pressurized by a pump mounted on the right engine. Each of the engine-driven pumps can operate in a high pressure or low pressure mode. The high pressure mode provides 3000 PSI and is used for taxi, take-off and landing. The low pressure mode provides 1500 PSI and is selected on the After Take-off Checklist to reduce wear on the system. An auxiliary, electrical pump is installed in the right hydraulic system and is designed for continuous operation at 3000 PSI. A power transfer pump is installed to transfer pressure between the left and right hydraulic system. Note that there is no transfer of fluid between the left and right hydraulic system. For the transfer pump to operate, either the left or right system must be pressurized to provide energy to drive the transfer pump. The transfer pump is normally used during taxi, take-off and landing as a backup source of pressure.

LANDING GEAR
TABLE OF CONTENTS
GENERAL ................................................................................................................................................... 2 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS ................................................................................................................ 5 WARNING AND CAUTION LIGHTS .......................................................................................................... 8
GENERAL
The airplane is equipped with a fully retractable tricycle landing gear consisting of nose gear and main gear assemblies. The landing gear is actuated by the landing gear handle. When retracted, the landing gear is fully enclosed by doors. In case of a hydraulics failure, the landing gear may be mechanically released to freefall to the extended locked position. Braking is provided by dual hydraulic multidisc wheel brakes with anti-skid systems (ABS) on the main gears. A visual and aural indicating and warning system provides indication of gear and brake system status. Spray deflectors are installed on both main gear and nose gear assemblies to minimize water and slush ingestion on take-off and landing. A tail bumper assembly, mounted on the bottom of the aft fuselage, prevents structural damage if the aft fuselage should make contact with the ground.
Main Gear
The airplane is equipped with two main landing gear and one nose gear, all with dual wheels and locks mounted on a shock strut. When extended, each main landing gear is locked down by over-center linkage. When retracted, the main landing gear assemblies are held up by hydraulic pressure, providing the engine driven pumps are selected to supply 3000 PSI. If the pumps are selected to supply 1500 PSI, the main gear will rest upon the doors. If hydraulic power is unavailable for gear extension, the main gear doors latches may be released by the emergency gear extension lever.
Nose Gear
The nose gear assembly is steerable, has dual wheels, and is mounted in a wheel well in the forward lower section of the nose of the airplane. A ground shift mechanism, mounted on the nose gear strut, is operated by compression and extension of the nose gear strut. This mechanism is used to establish ground or flight modes of operation.
GENERAL (contd)
Main Gear Doors
The main gear doors consist of a hydraulically operated main door and a mechanically operated outboard door. The main gear doors are mechanically latched when closed. The main gear doors cycle to the closed position when the gear is approaching the extended position.
Brakes
Each main gear wheel is fitted with a dual system, disc-type power brake. Each brake contains two independent cylinder and passageway systems. Each system contains four hydraulic cylinders, one bleed port and one hydraulic pressure port. The wheel brakes are controlled by two completely independent hydraulic brake systems. Each system is capable of supplying reserve brake pressure in the event of a hydraulic pressure failure in the other system. The airplane wheel brakes may be mechanically applied by depressing the brake pedals. A fully automatic anti-skid system is installed to obtain a more effective braking application, through control of wheel rotation at the point of maximum braking efficiency. The system is deactivated whenever the landing gear handle is not in the down detent, parking brakes set, arm switch at OFF, or airplane is at low taxi speeds. Both main landing gear wheels and nose gear wheel are fitted with spin brakes. The purpose of the spin brake is to stop the tire rotation after take-off. A gauge and annunciator light proved visual indication of brake temperature. The parking brakes are set by pulling up the park brake control knob (located on the captains left console). Park brake on is indicated by an annunciator light on the overhead panel. If the throttles are advanced to a take-off setting with the parking brake set, the aural/vocal warning system will be activated.
GENERAL (contd)
Automatic Brake System (ABS)
The Automatic Brake System (ABS) is an electrically controlled means of automatically applying the brakes in order to maintain a constant level of deceleration. The ABS has two modes of operation; landing mode and take-off mode. The landing mode provides pilot selection of three levels of deceleration; MIN, MED, and MAX. In the MIN and MED position, the system compares actual airplane deceleration with the pilots selection. In the MAX position, full brake system pressure is applied to the brakes and maximum deceleration is limited to anti-skid system operation. During the rollout from a landing or rejected take-off, the Auto Brake System will automatically disarm under the following conditions: Speed brakes are stowed Either throttle is advanced Airplane comes to a full stop When the ABS disarms, the ABS light on the glareshield will come on. The take-off warning horn and vocal (AUTO BRAKE) will sound if the AUTO BRAKE selector is in a position other than TO with the Spoiler Lever armed.

The airplane is equipped with two axial-flow, bypass, turbofan, Pratt and Whitney JT8D engines, which have a normal static take-off thrust rating of 20,000 pounds and a maximum take-off thrust rating of 20,850 pounds. The JT8D axial flow turbofan engine utilizes a 14-stage split compressor, a 4-stage split turbine, a 9-can combustion chamber, two integral accessory drive cases, and a full length integral fan annular discharge duct. An automatic reserve thrust (ART) system is installed. In the event of an engine failure, the ART system increases the thrust on the remaining engine. IGN switch position: OVRD High energy ignition is supplied to both ignitors on both engines, regardless of fuel lever and engine starter positions. CONTIN Low energy ignition is supplied to a single ignitor on the engine, depending on fuel lever position. With the engine starter switches in GND or FLT, high energy ignition is supplied to both ignitors on the engine, depending on fuel lever position.
Engine Starting
Either engine may be started by using a pneumatic ground supply or by pneumatic supply from the auxiliary power unit. When one engine is operating, the opposite engine may be started by using the pneumatic crossfeed system. An electrically controlled, pneumatically actuated starter air shutoff valve on each engine controls the starter of the respective engine.
Ignition Systems
Two ignition systems, one 20-Joule (high energy ignition system) and one four-Joule (low energy ignition system), are provided for each engine. An IGN (ignition) switch is provided on the ENG panel for ignition system selection.
GENERAL (contd)

When the reverser is fully extended, a blue ENG REVERSE THRUST light on the center instrument panel comes on. The ART system consists of a two position switch and three annunciator lights. A green ready light comes on when the ART self test has been completed. The amber ART light comes on when the system has detected an engine failure (one N1 30% less than the other N1). When ART has been activated: Fuel control is adjusted to a thrust schedule resulting in an 850 pound increase in thrust. Operating engine instruments display an increase in N1, N2, EPR and fuel flow. EPR LIM readout will display a computed reserve thrust EPR LIM. EPR reference bug will be set according to computed reserve thrust EPR LIM. An amber ART INOP light on the overhead annunciator panel indicates a failure in the ART system, or the ART switch is in the OFF position. System operation is fully automatic with the ART switch in the AUTO position. Self test will be initiated with the airplane on the ground, both engines running and slats extended. With the green READY light on, the ART system is armed when power on both engines is advanced beyond 64% N1. After takeoff, the ART system is disarmed when slats are retracted. However, the ART system will also disarm if both engines are retarded to below 58% N1. When disarmed by slat retraction, the system can only be rearmed with the airplane on the ground. When disarmed by power reduction, the READY light will come on, and the system will rearm when power on both engines is advanced beyond 64% N1.

GENERAL
Standard Take-Off Thrust
In general, standard take-off thrust should be used where permitted. The use of standard thrust will improve engine reliability, lengthen engine life, and substantially reduce operating costs by reducing peak pressures and temperatures If an engine failure occurs during the takeoff roll at or after V1, standard thrust on the remaining engine will satisfy the take-off requirements. Some conditions which prohibit the use of standard thrust: Tailwind Snow, slush, ice or standing water on the runway De-ice/anti-ice fluid has been applied and temperatures at or below 6C/42F Engine anti-ice ON MEL item that requires a take-off weight penalty Actual TOW from load close-out or ACARS is greater that assumed TOW In the above conditions, a higher than standard thrust take-off setting may be required.
Cruise Information
Cruise EPR tables are provided for various Mach numbers and True airspeeds at standard temperature. The Long Range Cruise table permits determination of the most economical cruise (most NM flow per thousand pounds of fuel burned). A 320 knots cruise table is provided for use at altitudes below the 320 knots/Mach crossover altitude.
GENERAL (contd)
Speed Cards
Two sets of quick reference Speed Cards are available to the pilots. One set for take-off and a second set for maneuvering/landing. The take-off Speed Cards provide the pilots with various take-off speeds, such as for example V1, VR and V2, for various aircraft configurations and weights. The maneuvering/landing Speed Cards provide the pilots with various maneuvering/landing speeds, such as for example VREF, for various aircraft configurations and weights. Sample speed card: Using the Speed Cards: Click the header to switch between Take-off and Maneuvering. Click the weight to increase or decrease the aircraft weight. Click the bottom boxes to transfer the speeds on the speed card, for the selected configuration, to the Airspeed Indicator bugs. The speeds pointed to by the black arrowheads will be transferred to the ASI.
