If you are talking about XJT, you really might want to be sure those are 3 FMS flows you are looking at. I've never heard of em and I know we don't have any 3 FMS birds.

As far as the boxed limitations on the graphs, you should have a sheet with all of the limitations and memory items written out with blanks for the numbers. Fill that out using the limitations section and then make flashcards from that.

You don't need to memorize everything in the orange tabs. Just those items that have memory items (like "Engine Failure in Flight, Aborted Takeoff, Engine Fire on the Ground, etc). There are no memory items for stuff like "Low Hydraulic Pressure". Those orange tabs are the equivalent of the QRH in the airplane and some of those procedures are very long and very complicated. Just make sure you know how to use them (basically follow a flow chart).

Normal callouts are done from memory (ie "set thrust, thrust set, 80 kts, V1, rotate etc.). Checklist responses are done with the checklist.

Hope that answers some questions. It can be confusing at first but it will all become clear when you get to class. Focus on the flows for now and ask lots of questions when you get there.

It means that wherever it shows a number like the min/max temps at altitude or min/max temps for takeoff SAT/TAT......those numbers are fair game.....

The memorization of boxed items only applies to Section 1.....Limitations (yellow tab) Not the orange tabs too..... However, there are some MEMORY ITEMS (about 10) that you must memorize. They are the items in the thin lined boxes starting on page 2-189 (thru 2-193)

Callouts like those used on a normal takeoff and alike are from memory.....just gotta know it.

Hope that helps..... Study up.

Thanks! I am looking at the flows now. I think the three one is just a typo or something. The schematic is very weak but I can only make out one fms from the pic. I'll just memmorize it.

Do you guys know of any quick reference study guides out there?

I have heard of CGPorter and http://www.aviationgroundschool.com/
but the flightcrewdog one doesn't seem to be online anymore.

oh and I searched everywhere but we didn't get this. Do you have a copy?

I thought the pages with three FMSs shown signify that the flows are used in both the single and dual FMS aircraft? That's how I've understood them, or maybe you're talking about something else.

Correct...those are flows for both 1 & 2 FMS aircraft. There are No, as in NONE 3 FMS aircraft at Xjt. The ops limit fill-out sheet is not being handed out to new-hires anymore. Find all the boxed limitations and make notecards and you'll be fine.
