APPROACH Page

The APPROACH page is accessed by pushing the TO/APPR key after takeoff or

by line selecting 6R APPROACH> on the GO AROUND page. It is not available

if there is no destination in the flight plan. This page displays landing and

go-around data. The illustration shows a typical APPROACH page.

Lines 1L, 2L, and 3L display the minimum maneuvering speeds for clean, slats

extended, and flaps extended configurations. These speeds will not be editable by

the flight crew and will be displayed in large font. If FMS is in LAT ONLY mode,

the minimum maneuvering speeds for slats extended and flaps 28 degrees are

displayed as dashes.

Lines 4L and 6L indicate available slat/flap settings for landing. The selected

configuration is displayed in large font without an asterisk in 4L. The setting in 6L

(small font with an asterisk) may be selected by pushing 6L with the SP empty.

This selection will cause the setting in 6L to be transferred into 4L (large font

without an asterisk) and the setting in 4L to be transferred into 6L (small font with

an asterisk).

Line 5L VAPP and VREF displays computed final approach speed and the

reference speed. VAPP is computed as VREF plus 5 knots, but may be altered by

the flight crew. VREF is computed as 1.3 times the stall speed for the selected

landing configuration and may not be altered by the flight crew.

NOTE: For approach speed target information, refer to MD-11 Flight

Crew Operating Manual, Operating Procedures.

The computed landing weight is displayed in 1R in small font and is not editable

by the flight crew.

Lines 2R and 3R display runway length in meters and elevation in feet. Both of

these fields are displayed in large font and neither are flight crew editable.

A timer value in minutes and seconds entered in 4R is used to initialize the EIS

countdown timer. Entries may be cleared by the flight crew. The timer may be set

to a max of 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
