In your head, or a notepad:

Multiply the first two digits of your cruise altitude by three
Eg. FL390, 39x3=117
Enter /[value] on scratchpad

Enter this value below RAD/DIS
This will create a ring that indicates the approximate T/D point. It is
good for situational awareness.
Verify the rings are there using STEP PLAN

STAR brief If the runway in use is in accordance to the STAR selected before
the flight, then leave it alone.
If the runway in use is not in accordance to the

STAR selected before the flight, find the last waypoint in the flight
plan. Go to the AIP on the electronic flight bag, and find a STAR
that has that last waypoint, and leads to the IAF of the desired
runway.
Check and brief:

Go to DEP/ARR
Select ARR
Select arrival runway
Select designated SID, marked with <ACT>
Select a transition if necessary (normally IAF- if vector to final no
transitions necessary)
Do not press execute
Select descent altitude: If no ATC, select next altitude restriction

on the STAR
If ‘RESET MCP ALTITUDE’ appears, press ALT INTV on MCP,

but do not do so unless lower altitude is selected.
Go to LEGS page FMC

Step through all waypoints
Identify STAR waypoints and verify with chart
- Verify the chart in use is correct
- Verify no route discontinuities
- Input and/or verify any speed or altitude stated by chart on
the FMC
- Speed restrictions might not be labelled on the route of the
chart, but in boxes around it. If it states any speed
restrictions, it MUST be inputted in FMC
Good practice: Write down all speed restrictions and target

altitudes on a piece of paper, including 250 at fl100
Check MSA: That radial thingy on the chart

Approach brief Start from top to bottom!
From the chart, and on a piece of paper, write down…

- ILS frequency
- Final approach track
- Aerodrome elevation
- Transition level
Set ILS frequency on both NAV1 and NAV 2 radios

Set course on both sides
Set ground altitude on pressurisation panel
On FMC DEC FORECAST page, enter transition level
Step through approach on FMC and ND

Brief
Verify with FMC
Decision height/altitude
Find minimums on chart
Select minimums on PFD
Brief PAPI’s
Check approach lighting
Brief MCP modes required
Brief alternate On FMC, go to PROG page

Check for the amount of fuel when landing at destination airport
(ie. 3.5 tonnes)
Compare that with alternate fuel, make sure there is enough.
Autobrakes Find the desired taxiway exit

Go to aerodrome information of chart
Look at the amount of runway from threshold to that taxiway exit
This is the first factor
Second factor: Is it raining? Is the runway slippery and wet?
Third factor: Landing weight. If the plane is heavy it might be

harder to stop
With all these information, deduce whether to use 1,2, or 3

If VNAV is engaged, VNAV PTH will dive for the flight path. The
speed will go crazy
Open speed window, and put in a higher speed

Update that speed in the TGT SPD
Updating the TGT SPD in the DES page will build a brand new
descent path. A higher speed will result in a steeper path.
The aircraft will throttle up to achieve that speed initially, but when it
reaches that speed it will descend in idle thrust again.
When RETARD is selected, the VS will increase and the aircraft will
descend at the new speed

Taxi brief Review taxi route, obstacles, hotspots, holding points

etc.
SID brief Is it a conventional SID or RNAV SID?

Set up ground based navaids
Interesting fact: SID waypoints on the FMC are labelled

with distances.
Ie. D208H
208 is the radial
H is the 8th alphabet, therefore the waypoint is 8nm from
the navaid.

Airspeed restrictions
Navaids
FMC Modify restrictions

On the MCP altitude window
Press the LEGS option on the FMC. Enter the altitude
restriction along with the speed restriction as
knots/alt(feet) eg. 250/9000 (or 90 if FL)
APU START Check that APU EGT is at around the 4 value
We start the APU first because the APU bleed could

affect the N1 settings
APU bleed ON
APU generator ON On generator panel, flick the inner two switches.

bus APU BUS OFF light should extinguish
N1 limit Flex temperature: Generate (Simulator uses TOW only)

Select derate (If runway is long and dry it’s not nec.)
