737NG Operations Manual
Preface
Chapter P1
Introduction
Section 2
General The Boeing Company developed normal and non-normal procedures for the 737NG aircraft. Delta Air Lines has modified some of the procedures for simplification and standardization, when appropriate with other Delta aircraft. Finally, the FAA has approved the procedures presented in the Operations Manual, with the exception of flight crew bulletins. These procedures are company policy for pilots to follow during ground operations and in flight. Deviations from these policies and procedures should be made only with good cause and based on the safest course of action. If an abnormality occurs that is not covered by these procedures, the Captain must use his best judgement.

Preface Introduction
737NG Operations Manual
Corrections to the Manual To correct any errors or discrepancies discovered in this manual, or to submit a suggested change to any Aircraft Operating Manual (Volume 1, Volume 2, QRH, Flight Crew Training Manual), Normal Checklist, Airway Manual, Flight Operations Manual (FOM), OE/TOE Guide, Flight Crew Bulletin (FCB), or Flight Operations Bulletin (FOB): Log on to the Delta Flight Operations Portal, http://dlnet.delta.com and submit a Publications Change Request (PCR). There are links to the PCR form on each fleet page and also on the Flight Ops Manuals/Library Services page. Once submitted, the PCR is automatically routed to the applicable Fleet Technical Manager and Technical Writer for that manual.
Organization The operations manual is organized in the following manner. Volume 1 • Preface – contains general information regarding the manual’s purpose, structure, and content. It also contains lists of abbreviations, a record of revisions, a list of effective pages and flight crew bulletins. • Limitations and Normal Procedures – cover operational limitations and normal procedures. All operating procedures are based on a thorough analysis of crew activity required to operate the airplane, and reflect the latest knowledge and experience available. • Supplementary Procedures – covers those procedures accomplished as required rather than routinely on each flight. • Aircraft Differences chapter notes differences between aircraft types. Volume 2 - Chapters 1 through 15 contain general airplane and systems information. These chapters are generally subdivided into sections covering controls and indicators and systems descriptions. Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) - The QRH covers normal checklists, non-normal checklists and non-normal maneuvers. Flight Crew Training Manual (FCTM) - The Flight Crew Training Manual provides information and recommendations on maneuvers and techniques.

Preface Introduction
737NG Operations Manual
Page Numbering The operations manual uses a decimal page numbering system. The page number is divided into three fields; chapter, section, and page. An example of a page number for the Normal Procedures chapter follows: chapter NP, section 20, page 3.
Example Page Number Chapter (Normal Procedures)
Page Number NP.20.3
Section (Amplified Procedures)
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes The following levels of written advisories are used throughout the manual. WARNING: An operating procedure, technique, etc., that may result in personal injury or loss of life if not carefully followed. CAUTION: An operating procedure, technique, etc., that may result in damage to equipment if not carefully followed. Note: An operating procedure, technique, etc., considered essential to emphasize. Information contained in notes may also be safety related.
Airplane Effectivities Differences in airplane configuration are shown by use of airplane effectivities throughout Volumes 1 and 2, Quick Reference Handbook, and the Flight Crew Training Manual. The following rules are used to express airplane effectivities: • Airplane effectivities are listed by ship number. A range of airplanes is defined by a dash, e.g. Ships 3101 – 3110. A comma in the effectivity range indicates a break in the range, e.g. Ships 3701 – 3710, 3712 – 3725; airplane 3711 is excluded from the range. • Airplane effectivities apply only to the paragraph, illustration, operational note, procedural step, etc. and to subordinate items (if any). Refer to the examples below.

Preface Introduction
737NG Operations Manual
Example 1 (with subordinate items): Ships 3101 – 3110 If the PSEU light does not extinguish when the parking brake is set or when both engines are shut down: Do not takeoff. Note: The PSEU light illuminates on the ground only.
In this example, the effectivity 3101 – 3110 applies to the first procedural step (If the PSEU.....) and any additional indented/subordinate steps (Do not takeoff). The effectivity does not apply to the next equivalently indented step (Note: The PSEU light...). Example 2 (without subordinate items): Ships 3101, 3102 CAUTION: When gross weight is greater than 143,000 lbs, speed brake will autostow to the 50% flight detent if airspeed exceeds 320 knots. Do not overide autostow function unless airspeed is less than 320 knots. Speedbrake . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DOWN detent
In this example, the effectivity Ships 3101, 3102 applies to the first operational caution only. The effectivity does not apply to the next equivalently indented step. For clarity, an "All" effectivity may be applied to differentiate common steps from those effected by specific ship numbers. When airplane effectivities are centered immediately below a section or checklist title, the entire section or checklist applies to the listed airplanes. In the following example, the Emergency Equipment section below is applicable to Ships 3701 – 3771 only: Emergency Equipment Ships 3701-3771

Preface Revision Record
737NG Operations Manual
General Delta Air Lines issues operations manual revisions to provide new or revised procedures and information. Formal revisions also incorporate appropriate information from previously issued Flight Crew Bulletins. The revision date is the approximate date the revision material is distributed and considered current. The revision should be incorporated as soon as it is received, but may be incorporated as much as 21 days after the revision date. Formal revisions include a Transmittal Letter, a new Revision Record, Revision Highlights, and a current List of Effective Pages. Use the information on the new Revision Record and List of Effective Pages to verify the operations manual content. The Revision Record should be completed by the person incorporating the revision into the manual.
Filing Instructions Consult the List of Effective Pages (P1.5). Pages identified with an asterisk (*) are either replacement pages, new (original) issue pages, or deleted pages. Remove corresponding old pages and replace or add new pages. Remove pages marked DELETED; there are no replacement pages for deleted pages. Be careful when inserting changes not to throw away pages from the manual that are not replaced. The List of Effective Pages determines the correct content of the manual.
Revision Highlights This section (P1.4) replaces the existing section P1.4 in your manual. Pages containing revised technical and non-technical material have revision bars associated with the changed text or illustration. Re paginated material not containing technical revisions are identified only by a new page date.

Chapter NP Section 10
NP.10 Normal Procedures-Introduction
General
This chapter contains Normal Procedures. It incorporates routine normal procedures and associated flight patterns.
Controls and Indications – Nomenclature Controls and indications appear in all UPPERCASE type to correspond to the words on the control panel or display. For example, the following item has UPPERCASE words to match what is found on the panel:
APU GENERATOR switch ................................................................ON The word GENERATOR is spelled out even though it is abbreviated on the panel. The following appears in all lower case because there are no words identifying the panel name or control position.
Mode control panel ............................................................................. Set
Normal Procedures Normal procedures are used by the trained flight crew to ensure airplane condition is acceptable and that the flight deck is correctly configured for each phase of flight. These procedures assume all systems are operating normally and automated features are fully utilized. The procedures also assume that systems are not deactivated unless directed by procedure or required by an emergency situation. Procedures are performed from recall and follow a panel flow. Checklists are used to verify that critical items affecting safety have been accomplished. These procedures are designed to minimize crew workload and are consistent with flight deck technology.
FCOM Template 12/12/98
During accomplishment of procedures, it is the crew member’s responsibility to ensure proper system response. If an improper indication is noted, first verify that the system controls are properly positioned. Then, if necessary, check the appropriate circuit breaker(s), and test related system light(s). Before engine start, individual system lights are used to verify system status. If an individual system light is indicating an improper condition prior to engine start, determine if the condition may affect dispatch and require maintenance action or compliance with the Mechanical Dispatch Manual (MDM).

Normal Procedures Introduction
737NG Operations Manual
After engine start, the MASTER CAUTION system, annunciator lights, and alerts are used as the primary means to alert the crew to a non-normal system condition. Illumination of the MASTER CAUTION and system annunciator lights requires accomplishment of the appropriate non–normal procedure. Upon completion of the procedure and prior to takeoff, the Mechanical Dispatch Manual (MDM) should be consulted to determine if MEL relief is available. The panel illustrations in this section describe the amplified procedures preflight panel flow and areas of responsibility during flight. A normal panel flow is encouraged; however, certain items may be handled in the most logical sequence for existing conditions. General phase of flight responsibilities are as follows: Pilot flying (PF): • flight path and airspeed control • airplane configuration • navigation. Pilot Monitoring (PM): • checklist reading • communications • tasks requested by PF • start levers and fire switches (with PF concurrence). Phase of flight duties, beginning with the Takeoff Procedure and ending with completion of the Landing Roll Procedure, are presented in table form in the appropriate procedures section. The First Officer, when flying the airplane, performs the duties listed under PF, and the Captain performs those duties listed under PM. Note: During flight with the autopilot engaged, the PF is primarily responsible for updating the mode control panel. However, the PM may update the mode control panel as directed by the PF. During manual flight, the PM should manipulate the mode control panel as required. The Captain retains final authority for all actions directed and performed.

737NG Operations Manual
Autopilot Flight Director System and Flight Management System Monitoring When the autopilot, flight director, or autothrottles are in use and a mode change is selected or is scheduled to occur, the annunciation must be verified on the flight mode annunciation display. Airplane course, vertical path, and speed must always be monitored. Similarly, when a thrust mode change is selected or is scheduled to occur, the annunciation must be verified on the thrust mode display. In LNAV and VNAV, all airplane course, vertical path, thrust and speed changes must be verified.
RVSM Operations and System Requirements Refer to the Airway Manual, Chapter 7, Navigation, Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) section.
CDU Operation On the ground, the control display unit (CDU) entries are normally performed by the PF and verified by the PM. In flight, with the autopilot engaged, CDU entries are normally accomplished by the pilot flying and verified by the pilot monitoring prior to execution. With the autopilot not engaged, CDU entries are accomplished by the pilot monitoring with concurrence from the pilot flying. CDU manipulations should be accomplished prior to high workload periods such as departure, arrival, or holding. During high workload periods, using the autopilot modes such as heading select, level change, and the altitude and speed intervention features, may be more efficient than entering complex route modifications into the CDU.

Normal Procedures Introduction
737NG Operations Manual
Standard Callouts The callouts in the following table are for normal line operations. During takeoffs and approaches, the Pilot Monitoring (PM) will monitor flight mode annunciator progression. Some callouts are made automatically by aircraft aural systems. When a required callout is made automatically, it may be omitted by the appropriate crew member. On any approach, when the Pilot Flying (PF) can maintain visual contact with the runway, the “APPROACHING MINIMUMS” and “MINIMUMS” callouts are not required. On non-ILS and CAT I approaches, the PM will annunciate visual cues. On CAT II and CAT III approaches, the Captain will annunciate visual cues. Note: White and amber landing altitude reference bars on the PFD altimeter tape are based on height above touchdown, and may be used to approximate AGL at most airports. Note: If the Radio Altimeter is inoperative, reference the barometric altimeter for the “1,000” and “500” callouts. The following callouts will be verbalized by the appropriate crew member: TAKEOFF Condition

CAPTAIN*
FIRST OFFICER
* Captain may delegate engine start procedure as deemed necessary. Announce engine start sequence. Normal starting sequence is 2, 1. Call “START ENGINE No.____.”
Position ENGINE START switch to GROUND. Observe START VALVE OPEN alert.
Verify oil pressure increase by idle, N1 rotation, and N2 rotation. Position engine start lever to IDLE detent when N2 rpm reaches maximum motoring (25% minimum) and N1 rotation observed. • At times, the APU cannot accelerate an engine to 25% N2. In this case the engine start lever may be placed to IDLE at a minimum of 20% N2; however, the higher the rpm prior to adding fuel, the cooler the start. Verify fuel flow and EGT indication. Note: An abnormal start advisory is indicated by the white box surrounding the EGT digital readout flashing. If this advisory occurs, continue to monitor other engine indications and abort the start if necessary. At 56% N2 RPM: • ENGINE START switch moves to OFF automatically; if not, position start switch to OFF. • Verify START VALVE OPEN alert extinguishes and report “STARTER CUTOUT.” Monitor N1, N2, EGT, fuel flow and oil pressure for normal indications as engine accelerates and stabilizes at idle. Ensure EGT peaks prior to starting other engine.
Repeat procedure to start remaining engine as required. Note: Standard day, sea level, approximate stabilized idle indications for the CFM56–7 engine. • N1 RPM – 20% • N2 RPM – 59%
• EGT – 410°C** • Fuel Flow – 600 PPH
** Idle EGT may vary from 320°C – 520°C depending on OAT, bleed configuration, and engine conditions. Starter Duty Cycle • Limit each start attempt to a maximum of 2 minutes • A minimum of 10 seconds is required between start attempts

Continued from previous page Normal engine start considerations: • Advancing engine start lever to idle prematurely can cause a “HOT” start. • Keep hand on engine start lever while observing RPM, EGT and fuel flow until stabilized. • If fuel is shutoff inadvertently (by closing engine start lever) do not reopen engine start lever in an attempt to restart engine. • Failure of ENGINE START switch to hold in GRD until starter cutout RPM is reached can result in a “HOT” start. CAUTION: Re-engagement of starter with N2 in excess of 20% will result in serious damage to starter and engine. Accomplish the ABORTED ENGINE START checklist for one or more of the following abort start conditions: • the N1 or N2 does not increase or increases very slowly after the EGT increases • there is no oil pressure indication by the time that the engine is stabilized at idle • the EGT does not increase by 10 seconds after the engine start lever is moved to IDLE • the EGT quickly nears or exceeds the start limit.

See Airway Manual chapter 3 - Procedures (Ops Specs). • Refer to the Supplementary HUD Takeoff Preparation procedures and the Standard Callouts table in the Normal Procedures Introduction section for instructions.
LNAV Departure If the LNAV mode is to be utilized immediately after takeoff and the aircraft symbol is not in close proximity to the departure end of the runway, accomplish the following: • Set the parking brake • Reduce ND scale to the 10 nm range • Enter the present latitude and longitude in the FMS POS INIT page referencing the appropriate airport diagram in the Airway Manual. • Perform the IRS Fast Realignment procedure • Verify the aircraft symbol is now in close proximity to the departure end of the runway on the ND. Note: LNAV may be armed prior to takeoff. CAUTION: Do not use LNAV for departure if FMS position is incorrect.
Takeoff Flaps The AWABS system is enabled to offer takeoff settings of Flaps 1, 5, 10, 15, or 25. Settings may vary from day to day, or from runway to runway at the same airport, as field conditions change. Check AWABS for performance capability and appropriate V speeds. It is imperative that crew members always check and verify flap settings, assumed temperatures, N1, V-speeds and stabilizer trim setting for the assigned takeoff runway are set correctly. Review the Takeoff Flap Retraction Speed Schedule in section NP.20 of this manual for the appropriate takeoff flap setting retraction schedule. Flaps 1, 5, 10, 15 or 25 Takeoff • Use normal rotation rate. • Engine failure procedures remain the same for all takeoffs. • Limit bank angle to 15 degrees until reaching V2 + 15. • At acceleration height, retract flaps on flap speed schedule. • Refer to AM 10-0 pages for any airport specific additional information.

• If any of the following conditions apply, set VREF ICE (VREF 15 + 10): • Engine anti-ice will be used during landing • Wing anti-ice has been used anytime during the flight • Icing conditions were encountered during the flight and the landing temperature is below 10° C. Note: When VREF ICE is required, the wind additive should not exceed 10 knots.
HUD Approach/Landing The HUD may be used for all approaches and landings. For more information, refer to Normal Procedures, Introduction (Section 10), Standard Callouts, HUD Operative and Used for the Approach equipment requirements, and also Amplified Procedures (Section 20).
Scan Policy Delta’s flight deck scan policy, ensures that one crew member is always focused on airspeed, altitude, and profile during an approach. Pilot flying and pilot monitoring scan responsibilities are listed in the table below. Note: Use of the terms “in” or “out” describes whether a crew members’ responsibility is inside or outside of the flight deck during the approach. Parenthetical terms, i.e. “(in),” describe a secondary responsibility. RUNWAY ENVIRONMENT

Stabilized Approach Requirements Maintaining a stable speed, descent rate, and vertical/lateral flight path in landing configuration is commonly referred to as the stabilized approach concept. Any significant deviation from planned flight path, airspeed, or descent rate must be verbalized. The decision to execute a go-around is no indication of poor performance. WARNING: Do not attempt to land from an unstable approach. IMC At 1,000 feet AGL, and on final, the aircraft must be: • Configured for landing. • Maintaining stabilized descent rate not to exceed 1,000 FPM. Note: If a published approach procedure requires a sink rate greater than 1,000 FPM, a special briefing should be conducted. • On target airspeed within tolerance, or speed being reduced toward target airspeed if higher was necessary. • Established on course. By 500 feet AGL, the aircraft must be: • On target airspeed within tolerance. WARNING: These conditions must be maintained throughout the rest of the approach for it to be considered a stabilized approach. If the above criteria cannot be established and maintained, initiate a go around. At 100 feet HAT for all approaches, the aircraft must be positioned so the flight deck is within, and tracking so as to remain within, the lateral confines of the runway extended. VMC At 1,000 feet AGL and on final, the aircraft must be: • Configured for landing. • Maintaining stabilized descent rate, not to exceed 1,000 fpm. Note: If a published approach procedure requires a sink rate greater than 1,000 FPM, a special briefing should be conducted. Continued on next page

Continued from previous page By 500 feet AGL, the aircraft must be: • On target airspeed within tolerance. • Lined up with runway except: • Where the instrument approach or local procedures (such as River Visual at DCA) dictate otherwise. • Maneuvering (including runway changes). Maneuvering below 500 feet is not recommended unless the Captain has determined the operation to be safe after considering: • Descent rate change to acquire glide path not excessive. • Runway lateral displacement. • Runway threshold stagger. • Tailwind/crosswind components. • Runway length available. WARNING: These conditions must be maintained throughout the rest of the approach for it to be considered a stabilized approach. If the above criteria cannot be established and maintained, initiate a go-around. At 100 feet HAT for all approaches, the aircraft must be positioned so the flight deck is within, and tracking so as to remain within, the lateral confines of the runway extended. Crossing the Runway Threshold As the aircraft crosses the runway threshold it must be: • Stabilized within tolerance on target airspeed until arresting descent rate at flare. • On a stabilized flight path using normal maneuvering. • Positioned to make a normal landing in the touchdown zone, i.e., first 3,000 feet or first third of the runway, whichever is less. WARNING: Initiate a go-around if the above criteria cannot be maintained.

Non-ILS Approach Considerations Approach Modes There are several roll modes, [Integrated Approach Navigation (FAC, VOR/LOC, BCRS), LNAV, VOR/LOC, or HDG SEL] available for flying the lateral path and three modes, [Integrated Approach Navigation (G/P), VNAV, and Vertical Speed] for flying the vertical path of a Non ILS Approach. The type of approach and conditions related to the particular approach (No GP, Step down Constraints, RNP, etc.) may dictate the use of one mode over another. Refer to the Non-ILS Approach Table in this section for recommended or in some cases mandatory approach modes (roll and pitch), and associated minima. Note: Refer to the Supplementary Procedures, Automatic Flight Section, Instrument Approaches Using IAN, Instrument Procedures Using VNAV, and Instrument Approaches Using Vertical Speed procedures for additional information.
Raw Data Monitoring When conducting any localizer based approach, select the appropriate localizer frequency and monitor raw data throughout the approach. For all other types of approaches, raw data must be monitored if the VOR/LOC or HDG SEL roll modes are used or if the approach is not in the FMC database. When conducting non-localizer based approaches using IAN (FAC) or LNAV as the roll mode, monitoring the raw data of the underlying navaid is optional, but recommended. If IAN or LNAV is used, crews are authorized to conduct VOR, VOR-DME, or NDB approaches even when the underlying navaid is NOTAM’d out of service or unavailable. For IAN approaches however, both NAV radios must be tuned to a VOR frequency (non-localizer frequency). For non-localizer based approaches, if being vectored to final approach and LNAV will be the roll mode, the aircraft may be considered established on the approach when: • the aircraft reference symbol is touching a published segment of the extended final approach (5NM Map scale), or • the aircraft is within the XTK error limit defined by the approach RNP value.

RNAV Approaches: RNAV(GPS), RNAV(RNP) In addition to the Non-ILS Approach Considerations, crews should be familiar with the additional procedural guidance associated with RNAV operations including RNAV (GPS) and RNAV (RNP) approaches. Refer to the FCTM General Information Section, RNAV Operations and the information below for additional information. • WAAS: Delta's 737 fleet does not have WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) receivers. Crews will disregard WAAS frequencies and associated LPV minimums included on some approach plates. • GPS NOTAMS: Flight plans may include GPS "unreliable" or GPS "unusable" NOTAMS. With operable GPS(s), regardless of NOTAMS, crews are legal to conduct any published RNAV (GPS) or RNAV (RNP) approach if ANP is less than RNP. • Temperature Restrictions: The 737 FMC is an uncompensated BARO-VNAV system as it does not correct FMC altitudes for large temperature deviations. Therefore, crews must comply with both high and low temperature restrictions listed in the Jeppesen briefing strip. Do not confuse these temperature restrictions with cold weather temperature correction requirements. • Ships 3701-3771: Comply with Category D speed criteria and weather minima during the final approach segment for all RNAV (RNP) approaches unless an exception is annotated on the applicable airport green page. • Integrated Approach Navigation (IAN) is not authorized for RNAV (RNP) approaches. • Due to the precise tracking required during RNAV (RNP) approaches, use of the autopilot is mandatory from the IAF inbound when in IMC, or whenever a segment of the approach features an RF leg, until a suitable visual reference is established. In all other circumstances, use of the autopilot is highly recommended. • VOR and DME position updating must be inhibited prior to conducting a RNAV (RNP) approach. Refer to Supplementary Procedures, Flight Management, Navigation, Inhibiting VOR/DME Use for Position Updating. • RNAV (RNP) approaches require verification that both GPS's are providing updates to the FMC prior to conducting the approach. Refer to the Non ILS Approach Summary, this section for verification procedures.

All Non-ILS Approaches • Select approach from FMC database; confirm waypoints and altitude constraints • Note presence of glide path on the FMC LEGS page • Refer to Non-ILS Approach table for minima, and recommended pitch and roll mode guidance • No later than FAF [IAF for RNAV (RNP)], one pilot will set Flight and Nav displays to monitor lateral and vertical deviation as required in the appropriate approach procedure. RNAV (RNP), RNAV (GPS), GPS, VOR or NDB Approach: LNAV or FAC as Roll Mode • For inoperative equipment, refer to the RNAV Equipment Requirements chart in Volume 1, Normal Procedures, Introduction section • Consider missed approach criteria annotated as (LNAV or LNAV/FAC) listed in Supplementary Procedures, Automatic Flight, for Instrument Approaches Using IAN, VNAV, and Vertical Speed. RNAV (RNP) or RNAV (GPS) Approaches or any Approach Using IAN Mode • Verify OAT and temperature restriction compliance. RNAV (RNP) Approach • Prior to IAF, verify or enter RNP value as required on FMC LEGS page. • VOR and DME Update - Inhibit (FMC NAV Options, page 2) • Verify both GPS’s are updating by selecting FMC NAV STATUS (page 1) and verifying the “(2)” is present next to the GPS reference. • Use of the autopilot is mandatory from the IAF inbound when in IMC, or whenever a segment of the approach features an RF Leg, until a suitable visual reference is established. • Brief Missed approach plan if approach is discontinued during an RF leg. • Confirm LNAV activation or reselect LNAV and verify active waypoint • Confirm engagement of or reselect autopilot • Until alternate ATC instruction is received, continue to fly approach track to the MAP and transition to the published Missed Approach procedure.

Circling Approach Weather Requirements Use the higher of: • Circle to land category D or the highest maximum speed published minima, or • 1,000 feet (300m) ceiling or HAA if higher, and 3 statute miles (4,800m) visibility. Minimum Descent Altitude MDA(H) Use the higher of: • Published MDA(H) or • Airport elevation plus 1,000 feet (300m). General Considerations • Use autopilot, autothrottles, and flight director if available to reduce workload during the circling maneuver • Set established MDA(H) in the MCP altitude window • Use approach procedures appropriate for the type of approach used to descend to the MDA(H). • If using an ILS approach, or a non-ILS approach with glideslope, do not select APP mode, as it will not capture and level off at the MDA(H). Use VNAV or V/S mode to control descent. • Recommended configuration for descent to MDA(H) is gear down, flaps 15 with two engines operating, or gear up, flaps 5 or 10 with one engine inoperative. Complete the configuration when level at MDA(H) prior to descending below 1,000 feet AGL. • Do not descend below the established MDA(H) until abeam the landing runway and intercepting the normal visual descent profile. • Disengage the autopilot no later than 50 feet below MDA(H). CAUTION: Circle in the direction assigned in the approach clearance, or in accordance with procedures in the airway manual. Circle to avoid all obstacles and other hazards. Continued on next page

Continued from previous page FMS Utilization • Using FMS while maneuvering to land is optional • Select appropriate approach from the database • If desired, enter the airport reference (e.g., KATL) point on the fix page and enter a range circle to improve situational awareness in the maneuvering phase. (a 3.5 mile arc will approximate 2.5 to 3 miles from the end of the runways). • Prior to commencing the approach, if desired, select the landing runway, line select it to 1L on the LEGS page, making it the active way point, and extend the centerline to provide guidance for maneuvering to land. Do not execute the LEGS page modification until abeam the landing runway. Doing so will delete the programed missed approach procedure. Upon execution, VNAV path information will be available from present position to the landing runway. Missed Approach - Circling Approach • Execute a missed approach anytime the airport is no longer in sight. • If not stabilized on final approach by 500 feet AGL, initiate a go-around. • Make a climbing turn toward the landing runway to reach the missed approach heading, even if it requires a turn of more than 180 degrees and not in the shortest direction. • Maintain the missed approach flap setting until close in maneuvering is complete.
Visual Approach and Landing Considerations FMS/ND Utilization • Using the FMS during visual approaches is optional • Program the landing runway as the active Waypoints • With ND in 10 mile scale, turn base leg from downwind leg when the aircraft symbol is approximately 3 - 4 nautical miles from the approach end of runway • Use VNAV path information, if available, or distance remaining from runway and height above touchdown zone elevation (TDZE) to determine 3 to 1 descent profile.

(ACARS) Pre-Departure Clearance The flight crew shall compare the filed flight plan versus the digital pre-departure clearance and shall initiate voice contact with Air Traffic Control if any question/confusion exists between the filed flight plan and the digital pre-departure clearance.
Digital-Automatic Information Service The flight crew shall verify that the D-ATIS altimeter setting numeric value and alpha value are identical. The alpha value is the numeric altimeter setting spelled out (i.e., two niner niner two). This will be depicted on the ACARS ATIS message. If the D-ATIS altimeter setting altimeter numeric value and alpha values are different, the flight crew must not accept the D-ATIS altimeter setting.
Company Communications Sequence The COMMUNICATIONS SEQUENCE chart depicts DATA LINK functions that are currently in effect for Delta Air Lines. The chronological sequence in which DATA LINK messages should be sent is shown as a function of flight phase. The messages that appear above the profile are ROUTINE and should be sent whenever appropriate on every flight. The messages below the profile are NON ROUTINE and should be sent as needed. Messages are delivered to the Flight Control dispatcher’s cue and are also directly processed by Flight Following. This direct processing of DATA LINK messages results in system wide updates in our host computers.

Menu Layout This section provides general usage information and menu layouts for operating the Collins ACARS unit. The system is interactive, and methods for using it are consistent for all messages. With some experimentation and use, it will become simple to use each feature. Ground support for some ACARS functions is still in development and therefore these functions should not be used. Refer to the DATA LINK INDEX menu tree on the next page for operational functions. If in doubt about the status of an operational message, use normal company radio procedures.
