February 16, 200917 yr When I arm nav and the plane is still on ground, I can exit that by pulling the heading knob, but I found no way to disable an armed perf mode. Is that possible after takeoff only by e.g. selecting v/s or flch?Andreas Andreas, LOWW - Nihil sumus et fuimus mortales. Respice, lector: In nihil ab nihilo quam cito recidimus.
February 16, 200917 yr This just came up recently. Once armed there is no way to unarm the PROF mode (nor AUTOLAND approaching final). There is no FLCH mode in the MD11... and it is never recommend that you use V/S for takeoff in any aircraft. Your IAS should be the control variable, not verticle speed. You can use A/T speed and HDG if you do not want to use PROF. Dan Downs KCRP

February 17, 200917 yr There is no FLCH mode in the MD11...The FCOM refers to it as FLCH, but I don't know why they didn't think of having a "FLCH" FMA.
