For takeoff & landing calculations, the 787 AFM uses real-time performance . Instead of generic "Flaps 5" numbers, crews input exact OAT, QNH, runway slope, and bleed configuration into the EFB. The AFM provides the certified limits behind those computed V-speeds.
Because the fuselage is carbon fiber (instead of aluminum), the AFM has specific sections regarding fire penetration and lightning strike inspections. Unlike aluminum, composite doesn't conduct electricity well, so the AFM directs crews to check specific burn-through points on the fuselage skin.
One unique AFM procedure: In a dual-engine failure (very rare), the 787 relies on its RAT and the backup electric hydraulic pump. The AFM mandates a specific drift-down speed (green dot) that is higher than on previous Boeings to protect the battery thermal limits.
