744 Circuit

This document provides guidance for flying a standard left-hand circuit in a Boeing 747-400 aircraft. It outlines key steps and calls for each phase of flight, including configuring the aircraft with gear and flaps, targeting specific airspeeds and attitudes, and checklists to complete. The circuit begins with a base leg turn onto final approach, followed by a 3 degree glidepath intercept to the runway. Touch and go training is noted, with instructions to not use speedbrakes or autobrakes after landing.
