Future feature request (minor)

[MarkW 1,493]

I was testing out Fly Tampa's CYYZ today and it was snowing so I left flaps up and headed over to the de-icing pad.  I guess the timer for " flight attendants take your seats" expired so this announcement was made by the FO.  I wonder if the logic can be changed so that the timer only starts after the flaps are set in this case you will still have time for the announcent after the deice but it probably needs to be slightly shorter.

Hi Mark,

 

Did you do it this way:

 

 

COLD WEATHER:

VOICE CONTROL ONLY:

During the Before Taxi Flow, instead of calling for the Takeoff Flaps, speak: LEAVE THE FLAPS UP FOR TAXI

When near the runway, call for the desired takeoff flap prior to calling for the Before Takeoff Checklist, example: FLAPS 5

Yes, I spoke leave flaps up for taxi and then requested flaps 5 after de-ice completed but the request for FA to take seats came during the middle of the de-ice with flaps up.
