Once the crew has entered the route and PERF INIT page information, they should
verify the OAT on the THRUST LIM page and then select the TAKEOFF REF 1/2
page. From TAKEOFF REF 1/2 the crew selects FLIGHT INITIALIZATION on
the EFB. The EFB receives the minimum required information from the FMC
(GWT, ORIGIN, OAT, QNH and takeoff runway). The crew then fills in other
required or optional information in the EFB performance tool application and
selects CALC. Once the EFB application has generated the appropriate takeoff
data (reference speeds, runway condition, takeoff thrust and flap setting) the crew
selects SEND TO FMC. A “•FMC” COMM alert is displayed with an associated
aural. A TAKEOFF UPLINK CDU help window message is then displayed on the
CDU. The crew selects LOAD or REJECT after reviewing the data on the
THRUST LIMIT, TAKEOFF REF 1/2 and TAKEOFF REF 2/2 pages.
When all required preflight entries are complete, the PRE–FLT line title on the
TAKEOFF REF page is replaced by FMC PREFLIGHT COMPLETE. The
THRUST LIM prompt displays at the next page select line location.

Takeoff
The takeoff phase starts with selection of TO/GA and terminates with thrust
reduction for climb. LNAV and VNAV can be armed before takeoff to activate at
the applicable altitude. (Refer to Automatic Flight Takeoff Profile
in Chapter 4,
Section 20, for additional information.)
Climb
The climb phase starts at thrust reduction for climb and terminates at the top of
climb (T/C) point. The T/C is where the airplane reaches the cruise altitude
entered on the PERF INIT page.
Cruise
The cruise phase starts at the T/C point and terminates at the top of descent (T/D)
point. Cruise can include step climbs and en route descents.
Descent
The descent phase starts at the T/D point or when the VNAV descent page
becomes active, and terminates at the start of the approach phase.
Approach
The approach phase starts when the first waypoint of the procedure sequences or
when the runway is the active waypoint and the distance to go is less than 25 NM.
