TO/GA switch pushed, nothing happens...

Featured Replies

Good evening, flabbergasted by the amazingness of your Exterior, VC, Avionics and Sounds i just had one problem... After setting up the entire cockpit for a takeoff from KPAE, I advanced N1 to 40% and then pressed my configured button for TO/GA (Ctrl + G) as it was by default. Nothing happened. F/D was on, A/T armed and everything set up as it needs to in a 737. But the throttles weren't advancing automatically. Now do I have to press the N1 button on the MCP as well? Or am I missing something? Regards,

Regards,

Were both F/D's (Capt. + F/O) on?? Both F/D's must be active in order to engage TOGA. Adam EDIT: Also...try just hitting the N1 button. I think that is the actual way to engage T/O thrust.

You need to have BOTH Flight Director switches on. Look over at the FO's FD switch, and if it's not also up, then the TO/GA switch will not work.

Of course. I noticed that VNAV and LNAV didn't arm because I had the FO's F/D not active. After activating it LNAV and VNAV were arming and capturing. Stupid that I didn't think earlier that that also would affect the TO/GA. Thanks for the reminder boys!

Was I correct in thinking that N1 is pressed to engage T/O thrust?? Or is it TOGA only that initiates T/O thrust? I've confused myself now.... Adam EDIT (Again): Nevermind...I found it in the tutorial flight.

Adam, Press the TO/GA switch to initiate takeoff thrust.
