  • 1Operating Manual

Aerosim 787 Liveries

In the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), you can find Aircraft Checklists for almost every phase of the flight in the 'Fight Manual Index' page. You can also view the 'Operating Manual' page which explains different flight maneuvers.

Just in case you feel looking into the EFB (which you could easily do in EFB view anyway) during runtime uncomfortable, I've 'echoed' all the checklists from the EFB out here.

INTRO: Welcome Aboard the Boeing 787-8 Aircraft. These checklists are based on real documentation but are still not recommended to be used in real aviation. For any help or support, send a PM to 'omega95' or 'redneck' on the Forums.

When the fault light goes off or the APU Indicator says 'STARTED' on the EICAS, set the starter knob to ON. This should make the APU Indicator say 'AVAILABLE' and you can now continue taking power from the APU Generator now.

Cruise Notes (not Checklist)

Seating
  • Every 30 minutes, take a quick look at all the instrument displays to make sure they're properly functioning. In case the ND, EFB, CDU or FBW malfunctions or hangs, hit their respective RESET buttons on the panel on both sides of the touch screen CDUs.
  • Check correct Mach Setting
  • Make sure the fly-by-wire is engaged and bank-limit is set as required. Note that the fly-by-wire's flight envelope protection (alpha and bank) and auto-stabilization will be effective only when the autopilot is turned off. This is so that it can't override the autopilot. Still, you are recommended to keep the AP on throughout the flight and use the Fly-by-wire to help you only during manual flight.
  • Make sure the route is entered correctly in the route manager, and the route is valid. In case of an error, re-activate the route and use the 'JUMP TO' function to jump to the waypoint.
  • Keep checking the fuel quantity against the Flight Fuel Planner on the EFB to make sure you have enough fuel for the flight.
  • Make sure the window, engines and wing temperatures stay above 0 to prevent ice buildup on them. If they drop below 0, turn on their respective anti-icing/window-heating.
  • Check hydraulic pumps to make sure they're functioning properly. In case of a hydraulic pump overheat or fault, turn them off, and turn on an alternative pump. Also make sure both Air-Conditioning packs are on, trim air is on and equipment cooling is turned on. You can find the Equipment Temperatures in the PNEU page on any of the MFDs.
  • In case the fuel quantity drops below the required fuel displayed, start preparing for a diversion to your alternate airport. Also, reduce mach speed to 0.75 mach and if there's a fuel imbalance, enable cross-feed.

The bulk cargo compartment has a volume of 402 cubic feet (11.38 cubic meters). Standard belt loaders with the capability to reach the cargo door sill height (see fig. 9) can be used on 787-8 airplanes.

*** Air start requirements are dependent on ambient temperature and altitude. Please refer to the airplane's Maintenance Facility and Equipment Planning Document (777 [D626W001] and 767 [D6-48646]).

WASTE SYSTEM

The 787-8 uses a vacuum waste system similar to the 767 and 777. A single aft servicing panel with standard connections is used to service the system. Servicing heights are minimum 107 inches (272 centimeters) and maximum 119 inches (302 centimeters).

787 Dreamliner Specs

At 430 U.S. gallons (1,628 liters), the 787 has a greater waste tank capacity than any other Boeing airplane because the drain masts have been deleted from the 787. All gray water drains into the waste tanks.

As a result, the service truck needs to accommodate the 430 U.S. gallons (1,628 liters) of waste and 100 U.S. gallons (379 liters) of flush water used to rinse waste tanks. (Some 10 to 50 U.S. gallons [38 to 189 liters] of water is used to rinse each tank during servicing.) If the tanks are full, a 530-U.S. gallon (2,006-liter) service truck is recommended. A lavatory service truck common to the 767 and 777 may be used.

Boeing 787 9 Dreamliners

POTABLE WATER SYSTEM

Potable water on the 787-8 is stored in unpressurized tanks located behind the bulk cargo compartment. Two 135-U.S. gallon (511-liter) tanks provide a total capacity of 270 U.S. gallons (1,020 liters). An ultraviolet water treatment system is provided in the water tank fill line. Water treatment takes place during upload of water into the airplane. Electric pumps provide water pressure. The basic configuration has a single servicing panel located just forward of the wing.

Potable water servicing trucks should have a tank capacity of 270 U.S. gallons (1,020 liters) with a water pressure of 30 psi. Servicing heights are minimum 76 inches (193 centimeters) and maximum 77 inches (196 centimeters). Trucks common with the 767 and 777 may be used.

AIR-CONDITIONING

To provide air-conditioning to the airplane from an external source, a 90-ton air-conditioning/heater unit is recommended. The 787-8 has one standard air-conditioning servicing connection with a minimum ground height of 71 inches (180 centimeters) and maximum ground height of 79 inches (201 centimeters). Trucks used to provide conditioned air to the 787-8 are common with the 767 and 777 airplanes.

SUMMARY

787 8 Dreamliner Seating Chart

The majority of current ramp equipment for the 767 and 777 will service the 787-8. However, operators should be aware of these possible ground service equipment requirements:

  • Additional GPUs may be needed for ground power and engine start.
  • The 787-8 has a unique towbar shear pin.
  • Newer cargo loaders with side-shift capability on the loader front platform (e.g., bridge) are recommended.
  • Lavatory service truck capacity for 787 operations should be evaluated.
