MANUAL REVERSION B737

[elpilote]

hi,

i am asking myself in case of manual reversion in flight on B737, you go trough the checklist ... mayday (3X) request 2000 feet vertical separation , reserve you the rwy for ldg and request 10 NM at least as final.

-first question: " do you think it is a good idea to enter in hold?

--> i think YES of course you need time to go trough this big checklist and be fully prepared and configured before starting the approach but it is not easy to flight an A/C in manual reversion and in a holding you have quite a lot of turn to do.

--> Do you cinfigure the A/C fully for landing in the holding or configure it normal as during a normal ILS?

-Second question:"you do your ils as usual but with F15 , in case of go aroud do you chose F1 ou F15? and do you go again in a hold or direct radar vector for an other ilS?

-->Concerning the retarction of the flaps we can raise them electrically via the ALT FLAPS SWITCH but the LED cannot be retracted ( FF +10%) and the gear cannot be retracted ( FF+50%).

So if you can help me about that it would be very nice.

thanks.
