December 10, 200520 yr Hi All,I'm uncertian of the function of the autothrottle as it pertians to the MCP speed setting at takeoff in the 737-700NGWould someone please clarify for me the function of setting MCP speed to V2 At T/O. Can i expect the autothrottle to revert to MCP speed+20 durring initial climbout or is setting MCP speed to V2 done only to get FD guidance cues and/or speed bug?Sometimes i've seen the autothrottle switch from "thrhld" to "mcpspeed"+20 durring climbout. But I've yet to determine what triggers that switch.Regards and thanks for any help,Tom D.:-)
