FCTM 8.x [Leading Edge or Trailing Edge Device Malfunctions]
Approach
Review the approach chart : Published procedure turns and radar vectors that are executed at a speed below flaps up maneuvering speed, require a wider turn radius due to the 15 degrees bank angle limit !
In final, a high nose-up attitude will given an impression of being high on profile.
Landing
Burn off fuel to practical minimum in order to reduce landing weight.
No or only very little flare is required, make a positive landing, do not float. Maintain forward column pressure after touchdown !
The use of autobrakes is recommended, consistent with available runway length. Use maximum reverse thrust.
High speed tires maximum 225 mph / 196 kts ground speed. Verify tire condition with the pilot that performed the exterior inspection.
Be ready to take over with nose wheel steering for directional control upon roll-out
Choose RWY :
- Weather forecast at ETA (= after fuel burn-off) and landing minima CAT I
- Avoid wet runway and crosswind
- Verify obstacles for straight ahead go-around
Go-Around
Go-around with Flaps UP
Limit bank angle to 15 degrees when speed is below Flaps UP-speed
ATC
Advise ATC that you will land with high speed and no flaps
Request :
- Weather forecast at ETA (=after fuel burn-off)
- Straight ahead go-around due to limited bank
- Fire brigade inspect landing gear after landing
Report :
- Holding time required to burn-off fuel and prepare for approach
- Souls on board
- Fuel upon landing
- Any or no dangerous goods on board
Cabin Crew
SOP - Brief the CCM using company guidelines and call-outs
Passengers
SOP - Reassure passengers in line with company guidelines
Example : "Technical problem, airplane under control. Remain in holding for x time to reduce fuel. Follow Cabin Crew instructions."
