March 6, 200719 yr When you fill out the pages of the FMC with data about your aircraft, is the FMC supposed to automatically select the thrust levels (i.e., with suggested settings) in the THR LIM page or must you do so yourself?

March 6, 200719 yr Without looking at the books I cant quote figures but the CLB,1 or 2 settings are chosen by the FMC depending on the percentage the TO thrust has been reduced or derated.
