August 7, 200223 yr This question is regarding an early post of VNAV fast climb....Normaly I fly from EHAM to EGLL with the 767 PIC, its a short haul and with a low fuelweight.Normally I also hit the VNAV button at a FL of 1000 ft.But when I look at my FMC at the INIT-REF page I see speed for retraction/climb of FLAPS 5-1 at 182 knts FLAPS 1-0 224 knot and climb at 246 knots.With the VNAV speed are 250 knots within minutes with full retrection of the FLAPS at a FL of 2 or 3000 ft.When I see the video of ITVV Boeing 767-300ER of Leisure AirwaysThey fly the SID with LNAV and FLCH and its takes about minimal 15 min in flight at a FL of 6000 to retract all flaps started from 5 degree flaps???? ( its was a flight from London to Orlando )What is the right way of flying this 767 because when I fly the SID like the Leisure captain with PIC at 2000 ft my trust is 35% instead of 98% or more for the hole climb???
August 7, 200223 yr I am not a real pilot nor pretend to be, however I would imagine that the flight on the video to Orlando will have been rather heavy -charter flight so loads of pax, and also high fuel amount. This increased weight will reduce the ability of the aircraft to accelerate and climb at the same time as well as a low loaded a/c will. So yes - it should be quicker for you with low weight.Ian
