Hi all. Today when I was cruising first at FL370 step climb came up as usual on nd and plan reached FL390. During step climb cruise mode changed to climb mode but after reaching new FL390 climb mode on Eicas display has not been changed to cruise. Why? Am I missing something?

 

Regarding (D-TO or Flex ) takeoff considering as an option. How can we assume that 45 or 60 OAT Is entered. Is it in Fcom manual about what temperatures to be selected. How can we do that?

Thank you'll.

Yep.

Note the option for CRZ or CLB...

You can figure this information out by using the performance charts.  There is a thread in this subforum that shows you how to do this.  Search "takeoff performance" in this subforum.

Regarding Anti ice procedures Kyle ? We should keep them on or in auto. At crz altitudes does pilots keep in on position. At what temp they start to think k its time to turn anti ice? Is it SAT or TAT to be considered during flight. I know that OAT Is considered when on ground(i m assuming).

Thanks man.

Why would you force them to the on position? (See below)

Temp is only half of the equation.  One of the big things simmers forget is that ice is the result of cold and moisture (not just cold).

 

It could be -100C outside, but if there's no moisture, then you're not going to get ice.  Same goes with your cruise altitude.  Sure, it's -40, but unless there's water, there's no chance you're going to get ice.  Moreover, if the water is already frozen, it's not going to spontaneously unfreeze and then freeze, which is why you get a window of about 10C TAT to -40C SAT and visible moisture for icing conditions.

You are right. It helps if you put takeoff performance in quotes.

You'll get ice at -100°C. Not on the outside of the aircraft though. and it won't be water that's freezing

Fuel.

 

But you're right, if your aircraft isn't in moisture (Clouds, fog, mist, rain, sleet, snow, etc) then the water that isn't there can't freeze. (well it can, but it isn't there, so doesn't exist.)

 

A solid piece of ice doesn't stick to the metal, it hits it like pellets and bounces off.

 

+10°C might seem warm, but as air pressure changes, the freezing/boiling point of water changes too. Wings produce at least some of their lift by changing air pressure. The air moving over the wing (and under too) changes speed. These effects cause the temperature to go down effectivley so at a worst case, a foggy day that is 9°C may actually produce ice on wing surfaces or engine intakes.

 

At -50°C water is actually solid, and will not stick to a metal surface as there is no adhesion factor.
