Green Dot

[Guest GVViking]

I wonder ! Shouldn't there be a green dot on the speedtape, like PSS Airbus ? Or is there anyway else how to see minimum cleanspeed ?I realy dont know if real T7 have it. But I guess they have.Gvviking

"Green Dot Speed" is an Airbus term for minimum clean speed.There is a minimum clean speed for the 777, as all aircraft have, and it is marked on the Speedstrip on the PFD by a small Green green line on the speedstrip with a 0 (zero) by it, on approaching the line in the deceleration, check your below the flap limiting speed, then select flap 1, once flap 1 is set the gree line will move down the strip and a 1 will then be displayed, for flap 1, and it keeps doing that (then 5, 15 etc) down to VF which is your pre-selected Vref 30 speed.Minimum Clean Speed is VREF30 +80ktsCheers

Almost,0 should be UP. Green line with Up next to it is the Min clean speed.Sure that's what you meant.Cheerio Sjaako.
