August 7, 201411 yr Commercial Member Well it was set at V2 153 per the FMC? What amount of flaps was that V2 calculated with? Were you following the speed/flap profile on the PFD? Kyle Rodgers
August 7, 201411 yr Author Flaps 1 V2 153 I was following the FD, maintaing V2 + 20 Engaged LNAV at 400 Engaged CMD A at 1500 thrust reduction height Engaged VNAV at 3000 Vernon Howells

Are you doing NADP-1? Why are you in LVL CHG? Or is that a reversion? Is this a Flaps 1 takeoff? Matt Cee
August 11, 201411 yr Author i should say a flahing A its happening at 1500 thrust reduction height? i was flaps 1 62.1 t it just goes into LVL CHG after i select CMD A i don't select VNAV till flaps are up. I was following the FD, maintaing V2 + 20Engaged LNAV at 400Engaged CMD A at 1500 thrust reduction heightEngaged VNAV at 3000 soon as i bug up speed to 230 it stops flashing? oh sorry yes NAD 1 Vernon Howells
August 11, 201411 yr How about you try it with VNAV from the start. The speed tape is bothering me, too. It doesn't seem right - like you're too heavy. Matt Cee
August 11, 201411 yr Author soon as i roll the speed bug up, it goes away ! well i'm trying to follow a policy engage VNAV above 3000 agl .... Vernon Howells
August 17, 201411 yr Author Still get that flashing A on takeoff without VNAV engaged. The flashing A comes on about 1500 feet thrust reduction height! Vernon Howells
August 17, 201411 yr Author Found this http://www.flyaoamedia.com/aoa/nicks-737ngx-takeoff/ At 16 min its at takeoff roll, watch for the IAS window he gets the flashing A Vernon Howells
August 18, 201411 yr I didn't watch the whole thing, but something about his bugged speed and/or AP settings seems off. In fact, his A/T isn't armed during takeoff. I don't own the 737-series AOA lessons so I'm not sure why. But if you look closely, his speed bug is slightly inside the "stall warning/stall imminent" zone on the speed tape. That's why he's getting the flashing "A" on the MCP. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that if that's happening, then it's a configuration issue on your end. Now, that may be done on purpose (Although I don't know why someone would do that) or it may just be an error/oversight. Dave Wegner - Don't be afraid of common sense or the search function.
August 18, 201411 yr Author But i'm following everything i'm suppose too, topcat and pfpx! Is it cause i'm not maintaing V2 + 20 ? And i'm under speed or maybe wrong flap config? I don't think anyone will know for sure as no one has ever flown the NG in real life! I could take it to the pilots forum called pprune but prob get laughed at lol Vernon Howells

August 18, 201411 yr Author Right i see, i didn't know! Its a weird one with what i'm experiencing, unless TOPCAT is totally messing up the performance calculations. Vernon Howells
August 18, 201411 yr Commercial Member Its a weird one with what i'm experiencing, unless TOPCAT is totally messing up the performance calculations. How? Kyle Rodgers
August 18, 201411 yr Author Not sure! I'm hearing its possible that i'm too heavy but i'm within my limits. Also i should try flaps 5 but why? Its what TOPCAT is calculating. Vernon Howells
