Hi everyone,

 

What healthy and Wealthy discussion ! 

 

Let's take a brake watching this outstanding Bird Taxing and Parking with AES doing a nice job and finishing with another VoxATC AI Traffic landing on same Threshold , by the way LPMA 05.

 

 

 

Congratulations Everyone who has collaborate with this Post......I think that anyone who visit it will learn a lot.

 

Thanks for all !

 

And my Grateful thanks to Bruce Artwick who began  a wonderful virtual flight world and a Huge Market !

 

 

See you soon guys !

No problem and welcome.

To be honest, the manuals are written in a way that one could easily misinterpret things.

Has happend to me a lot too, and the only way you find out is in discussions like these.

Excellent comment !

 

Nice to meet you here !

All you will have then is TOGA TOGA.
So TOGA for both roll and pitch.

Right after lift off:
Lateral:
This means the FD will guide you straight out.
Your actual flight track is actually determained at lift off and then this becomes your target Track. So normally, pretty much rwy track guidance, unless you were drifting all over the runway due to improper handling of an engine failure or crosswind condition.

Vertical:
And the FD will also guide you up to a pitch altitude that maintains the speed close to what you had set in the speed window before take off (This speed is called V2).
Close, because after liftoff the system first determains if all engines are still working or not. And then it checks at what speed you are currently flying.
Then it resets the speed in the window to a value between V2 and V2+25kt. No more.

For details, see the page that Thomas refered to (4.20.11 of FCOMv2.)


Upon reaching the altitude that was set in the altitude window before take off, the airplane will level off.
So you then get TOGA (stays engaged laterally unless you change it) and ALT.
But you do not get acceleration (for flap retraction) in 1000ft (for example).
And you will never get Lnav guidance unless selected manually.

AP engaged or FD only does not matter. They both do the same thing.

 

Rob,

 

Thank you very much!
