  1. Do not engage Autopilot to CMD and/or engage a Flight Director when
    Airplane rate of climb exceeds 4000 feet per minute, or rate of descent exceeds 8000 feet per minute.
  2. The Autopilot must be disengaged when
    Operating on Emergency Power.
  3. Do not automatically capture glide slope above
    250 knots.
  4. The Autopilot must be disengaged for
    Split Flap/Slat handle operation.
  5. If the AP OUT OF TRIM light is illuminated for over three seconds after airplane is stabilized and tracking the glide slope
    Disengage Autopilot and disable APT (Auto Pitch Trim) (SEE AP OUT OF TRIM LIGHT ON Irregular Procedure.)
  6. Prior to re-engagement of the Autopilot without APT
    The airplane must be manually trimmed and tracking the Glideslope at the target approach speed.

  12. AUTOTHROTTLES May be used for takeoff provided
    The computed (OPS) N1 is less than 1% difference in favor of a more aggressive reduction of thrust than the ALT 1 or ALT 2 positions of the TRC (Thrust Rating Computer). If computed (OPS) N1 is greater than TRC limit, a manual autothrottles OFF using (OPS) computed N1 setting should be used for takeoff.

  24. OIL TEMPERATURE
    Engine Must Be Shut Down If Oil Temperature Exceeds
    • 175 C
    • * Caution (yellow) range may be lower on some gauges - temperature in degrees C will be the limiting factor.
  25. REVERSE THRUST
    Takeoff is not permitted if any of the following conditions exist:
    Any engine, REV PRESS, REV U/L or REV THR light(s) illuminated.
  26. REVERSE THRUST
    For takeoff with both wing engine thrust reversers deactivated, the following limitationsapply:
    • Takeoff under contaminated runway conditions is prohibited.
    • For wet runway conditions, increase required runway length by 5%.
    • NOTE: Ops wet takeoff data meets or exceeds AD imposed 5% increase.
  27. REVERSE THRUST
    For landing with both wing engine thrust reversers deactivated, the following limitationsapply:
    For DC-10-30 increase the required runway length by 10% under wet or contaminated runway conditions.
  28. CF6-50 C2/CF6-50C2B
    RPM - MAXIMUM (PERCENT)
    • N1 - 118.5 (Max reverse 95% N1)
    • N2 - 109.5
  29. STARTER DUTY CYCLES
    • 5 minutes 30 seconds cooling (per minute on)
    • Two duty cycles 10 minutes
    • NOTE: If duty cycle is les s than 5 minutes , and 30 second cooling per 1 minute of s tarter use is observed, number of duty cycles is unlimited.
  30. STARTER PRESSURE (PSI)
    Minimum Duct Pressure Before Start
    • > 0°F (-18°C) 30 PSI
    • < 0°F (-18°C) 35 PSI
