Push TO/GA switch to advance the thrust levers to takeoff N1.
Verify mode annunciation.
Note: After takeoff thrust is set, the captain’s hand must be on the thrust levers until V1.
Hold light forward pressure on the control column, maintain directional control.
Monitor engine instruments. Verify oil pressure is not in the amber band.
Verify 80 knots.
Monitor airspeed, noting V1, and rotate smoothly.
When positive rate of climb is indicated, call “GEAR UP” and position landing gear lever UP.
Continue rotation to takeoff pitch.
Check flight instrument indications. -
After Takeoff Procedure Explained:
Maintain a minimum of V2 + 15 knots during initial climb. At light gross weight a higher speed (up to V2 + 25) may be selected.
Above 400 feet, select appropriate roll mode, if required. Verify proper mode annunciation.
Above 1,000 feet, set flaps up maneuvering speed. Verify climb thrust is set and proper mode is annunciated.
When above minimum altitude for autopilot engagement, engage A/P. Verify flight mode annunciation.
Retract flaps on takeoff flap retraction speed schedule and monitor flaps and slats retraction.
Position landing gear lever OFF, APU and engine start switches as required. Verify air conditioning and pressurization operating normally.
Perform AFTER TAKEOFF CHECKLIST when flaps are up.
Above 3,000 feet AGL, engage VNAV or select normal climb speed and verify annunciation.

Approaching selected FMC cruise altitude, verify level off and proper mode/N1 limit annunciation.
Position center tank fuel pump switches OFF when both pump LOW PRESSURE lights illuminate.
During the last hour of cruise on all extended range (ETOPS) flights, perform Fuel
Crossfeed Valve check.
Prior to top of descent, select and verify the planned arrival procedure on the FMC.
Set MCP altitude selector for descent.
At top of descent point observe descent initiated and verify proper mode annunciation.

Descent and Approach Procedure Explained:
Position center tank fuel pump switches OFF when both pump LOW PRESSURE lights illuminate.
Check and set VREF and approach speeds as required.
Set anti-ice as required.
Verify pressurization set for destination airport elevation and system operating normally.
Set AUTO BRAKE select switch to desired brake setting.
Set and crosscheck altimeters at transition level.
Set and crosscheck course selection and RADIO/BARO minimums as required for approach.
Set and verify ADF and VHF NAV radios for approach.
Position fixed landing lights passing through 10,000 feet.
Accomplish the DESCENT-APPROACH checklist.
Call “FLAPS___” according to flap speed schedule and position FLAP lever. Monitor flap and slat extension.
Approaching selected FMC altitude verify level off and mode annunciation. -
Approach Procedure Explained:|
Using flaps as speed brakes is not recommended.
The following procedures are used for flap extensions:
• Select flaps 1 when decelerating through the flaps-up maneuvering speed, displayed on the airspeed display as “UP”.
• Set airspeed cursor to the flap maneuvering speed displayed as “1”.
• When appropriate, select the next flap position and then set the airspeed cursor to that flap maneuver speed. -
Landing Procedure Explained:
When on localizer intercept heading, verify ILS tuned and identified, LOC and G/S pointer displayed, arm APP mode and engage second autopilot.
Verify mode annunciation.
At localizer capture verify proper mode annunciation and set appropriate heading.
At glide slope “alive”, position landing gear lever DN, FLAP lever to 15 and arm speedbrakes.
Perform LANDING CHECKLIST down to FLAPS.
At glide slope capture, verify proper mode annunciation, check N1 reference bug at the go-around limit and set missed approach altitude.
Call “FLAPS ____” as required for landing and position FLAP lever accordingly. Set MCP speed selector at VREF + knots.
At final approach fix, OM, verify crossing altitude.
Complete the LANDING CHECKLIST.
Monitor approach progress and guard the controls.
At 500 feet AGL, verify FLARE is armed.
At approximately 50 feet AGL, verify FLARE is engaged.
Ensure the autothrottle retards the thrust levers to idle by touchdown. -
Go-Around Procedure Explained:
Push TO/GA button switch.
Call “FLAPS 15” and position FLAP lever to 15.
Confirm rotation to go-around attitude and monitor autopilot.
When positive rate of climb is indicated, position landing gear lever UP.
Check flight instruments indications.
Above 400 feet, select appropriate roll mode and verify proper mode annunciation.
Retract flaps on speed schedule.
Verify airplane levels off at selected altitude and maintain flaps maneuvering speed.
Accomplish AFTER TAKEOFF checklist. -
Landing Roll Procedure Explained:
Ensure thrust levers at idle.
Disengage autopilot and control airplane manually. Verify autothrottle disengages automatically.
Verify SPEED BRAKE lever – UP.
Verify proper autobrake operation.
Without delay, apply reverse thrust as required.
At 60 knots, reduce reverse thrust to be at IDLE reverse when reaching taxi speed.
Verify REV indication extinguished.
Prior to taxi speed, disarm, the autobrake and continue manual braking as required.

The following pages comprise a two page In-Flight Use Checklist that should be printed and kept handy in the cockpit for use during flight.
The procedures listed above in this chapter are designed to be studied and to serve as a useful guide for setting up the cockpit and flight process. The In-Flight Use Checklist below is designed to assist crews in checking their work and validating that proper procedures have been accomplished prior to any critical phase of flight.
When following the Expanded Normal Procedures above you will notice that the process occasionally calls for the conduct of a checklist. For example:
Captain calls for “BEFORE START CHECKLIST TO THE LINE First Officer Accomplishes BEFORE START CHECKLIST to the line using The IN-FLIGHT-USE-CHECKLIST.
In such a situation, the BEFORE START CHECKLIST that is being referenced is the In-FlightUse Checklist as described on pages 17/18 of this chapter.
It is recommended that the following two pages be printed and stapled back to back for ease of use! -
