Hello fellow captains,

 

I notice on the beta videos on YouTube, V2 is set to V2+ 10 but on the air Canada world air routes DVD CYVR-YSSY( my home airport) it is set to V2 on the MCP. I take it the flight director will fly V2+10 on takeoff?

Varies from airline to airline, majority set V2 though.

 

Pitch command target speed is V2 + 15. If current airspeed remains above target speed for 5 seconds, target airspeed is reset to current airspeed (limited to a maximum of V2 + 25).

Thanks for the reply. I thought it was company specific.

If you were watching mine, the procedure was a little off.  I didn't realize the automagic applied the additive correction in the background for you.

Correct procedure is V2 in the window. FD commands V2+15 to V2+25 range.

If you don't mind me jumping in here to ask about the 737NG (while we're on the subject of correct MCP set-up), I've seen both V2 and V2+10 used.

 

Is there one correct method for the 737 too, or is it company specific? 

 

Thanks

737 FCOM says to set V2 as FD will automatically command MCP speed +20kt.

OK thanks. I had been using V2 until I read Mike Ray's Training Syllabus, which called for an MCP setting of V2 +20.

 

I'll go back to V2.
