CDU Operation

On the ground, the control display unit (CDU) entries are normally performed by
the first officer and verified by the captain.

In flight, CDU entries are normally accomplished by the pilot not flying and
verified by the pilot flying prior to execution. CDU entries should be accomplished
prior to high workload periods such as departure, arrival, or holding. During high
workload periods, using the autopilot modes such as heading select, level change,
and the altitude and speed intervention features, if available, may be more efficient
than entering complex route modifications into the CDU.

ApproachProcedure
Using flaps as speedbrakes is not recommended.
The following procedures are used for flap extension:
• Select flaps 1 when decelerating through the
flaps–up maneuvering speed, displayed on the speed tape
as a green “0.”
• When appropriate, select the next flap
position and then set the airspeed cursor to that flap
maneuver speed.
Note:Flap maneuver speeds provide approximately 15 to 20
knots above the minimum maneuvering speed for each
flap setting.
Note:If performance requires use of flaps 15 for landing, place
the GROUND PROXIMITY flap inhibit switch to FLAP
INHIBIT.
–
 If the flap maneuvering speeds cannot be displayed,
reference the Performance In–flight section for speed
schedules.
When on final approach in landing configuration, it is
not recommended to set the A/T command speed to
allow for wind or gust corrections. Through airspeed
and acceleration sensing, the A/T corrects for normal
wind gusts. Higher command speed settings result in
excessive approach speeds. The recommended A/T
approach speed setting is VREF + 5.
