Non-Normal Maneuvers

MAN.1 Maneuvers-Non-Normal Maneuvers
Approach to Stall Recovery
The following is immediately accomplished at the first indication of stall buffet or
stick shaker.
Pilot Flying
• Advance thrust levers to
maximum thrust.
• Smoothly adjusting pitch
attitude* to avoid ground
contact or obstacles.
• Level the wings (do not change
flaps or landing gear
configuration).
• Retract the speedbrakes.
When ground contact is no longer a
factor:
• Adjust pitch attitude to
accelerate while minimizing
altitude loss.
• Return to speed appropriate for
the configuration.
Note: *At high altitudes it may be necessary to decrease pitch attitude below the
horizon to achieve acceleration.

Rejected Takeoff

The captain has the sole responsibility for the decision to reject the takeoff. The
decision must be made in time to start the rejected takeoff maneuver by V1. If the
decision is to reject the takeoff, the captain must clearly announce "REJECT,"
immediately start the rejected takeoff maneuver and assume control of the
airplane. If the first officer is making the takeoff, the first officer must maintain
control of the airplane until the captain makes a positive input to the controls.
Prior to 80 knots, the takeoff should be rejected for any of the following:
• activation of the master caution system
• system failure(s)
• unusual noise or vibration
• tire failure
