AT speed deselect

[Guest ha5mvo]

Hi,Just wanted to know wether low speed protection is implemented on the 737 when throttles are armed and speed's deselected.I know landing with AT armed is controversial, though it IS a feature.Also, I noted that if you hit TOGA, say, on the ground with just the FD engaged (AT/AP off), it would point to -8 degrees (the brown section). Surely that's not how it's supposed to be. Or am I doing something wrong?Thanks/Michael

For your question 2: I think the FD points down on the beginning of the takeoff roll in order to maintain nosewheel steering authority until airspeed reaches to a point where rudder becomes effective. As you accelerate past V1 you should see it go up and command a 15 deg nose up.- Neeraj
