Unless the computer flight plan indicates otherwise, the climb speed should be 290 KIAS/.72 mach. The pilot monitoring will call 18,000 feet (20,000 in Mexico) as a reminder to reset altimeters. The PM will also call 1,000 prior to the assigned altitude in the following format, “___ thousand for ___ thousand.”
It is recommended that when the AFTER TAKEOFF CHECKLIST has been completed and work load permits, the PM make a check of the overhead panel confirming:
.
Annunciator Panel for normal indications.
.
Normal indication of CSD outlet and rise temperature.
.
Normal generator volt/freq indications and battery condition.
.
Proper RAT probe heater operation.
.
Proper (on schedule) operation of the pressurization system.
.
Normal duct and cabin temp indications.
Sterile Cockpit Light
Sterile cockpit procedures are in effect any time the aircraft is below 10,000 feet. Once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet the flight crew should turn the Sterile Cockpit light out and cycle the No Smoking sign as a signal to the cabin crew.
FUEL MANAGEMENT
When established in cruise flight, both crewmembers shall verify that the fuel remaining on board meets or exceeds all requirements for a safe completion of the flight. This can be done by comparing FOB to the expected fuel as listed on the computer flight plan. Fuel verification will occur periodically throughout the flight. Fuel management is the joint responsibility of both the Captain and First Officer. Verbal communication concerning fuel management shall be open and ongoing throughout the flight.
If there is fuel in the Center Fuel Tank or Auxiliary Fuel Tanks, that fuel will be used first. It will be confirmed at initial level off that fuel is burning from these tanks by observing and comparing the fuel quantities in all tanks. When Center Tank/Auxiliary Tank Fuel is exhausted, the respective pumps will be turned off and fuel depletion and balance will be monitored in the main tanks.
AIR CONDITIONING PACKS
Air conditioning packs operated in AUTO mode will attempt to maintain a selected cabin temperature within the range of 65°F to 80°F. Air conditioning packs operated in MANUAL mode depend on vigilant pilot input to deliver air at a comfortable temperature.
A pack operated in MANUAL mode, left unattended, can quickly produce temperatures that result in an automatic thermal shutdown of the air conditioning pack. If the pack shutdown is followed by an idle thrust descent, cabin pressurization problems will occur.
If both packs are operated in MANUAL mode, the likelihood of a thermal shutdown increases; and the potential for both packs to experience thermal shutdown arises. Recommend that one pack be operated in AUTO mode at all times.

CRUISE
Level Off
Autothrottles Off
The airplane is climbed, leveled off at initial cruise altitude, and accelerated with Climb thrust setting to .01 Mach or more above the desired cruise. Cruise thrust is now set. The airplane will then stabilize at or very near the target Mach. Operating with the Autopilot engaged and altitude hold selected allows closer adherence to the desired performance.
Autothrottles On
It is recommended that Indicated Airspeed (IAS) be used as the cruise speed reference. Mach number is a function of OAT and variations thereof cause excessive and unnecessary throttle “hunting.”
With PMS:
1.
When level cruise is attained, the PMS will command an optimum Mach cruise speed. When stable, note the equivalent Indicated Airspeed (IAS) on the airspeed indicator. Enter this airspeed onto the cruise page as a non-optimum cruise IAS. Command the PMS to reference this speed for cruise. As the flight progresses, make a periodic check of the optimum Mach speed being suggested by the PMS and adjust the non-optimum IAS speed accordingly.
2.
As an alternative to the PMS suggested speed, refer to the CAST charts or to the Long Range Cruise (LRC) charts found in Section 5 of this manual.
Without PMS:
1.
While climbing in Mach Hold or IAS Hold, adjust the Autothrottle Speed Command to the desired cruise IAS in knots, i.e. 260.
2.
Obtain the desired Long Range Cruise (LRC) IAS from the CAST Charts or from the LRC performance chart in Section 5 of this manual.
