Version 2.0 A question and a request...

[Egbert Drenth 250]

Hi,

 

I have installed and used V2 and have a question:

• Since the Climb checklist below the line is now called with only 'Below the line',
  what is the command for setting the props at 850 afterwards?
  To 'Props 850' the FO doesn't respond and 'Set Props 850' results in the FO setting the props anti-ice?!?

Request:

• Is it possible to change the phrase needed after passing acceleration altitude?
  Currently it is: "Flaps zero, I A S x x x, Climb checklist to the line"
  I have to say it at least 2 or 3 times before the FO responds. Since the workload is pretty heavy just after take off, it would be vey convenient to shorten it to:
  "Flaps zero, climb checklist to the line"
  I can set the IAS myself or instruct the FO just shortly after.

Since the Climb checklist below the line is now called with only 'Below the line',

 

That's not correct.

 

"Below Line" is simply an option if you don't want the FO to reposition the Prop Levers to 850 or 900 (since they may already be in that position).

 

The typical command is: "Set Props 850 Below the Line"... "Set Prop 900 Below the Line".

 

 

Are you sure "Set Props 850" was detected properly as per the Green Bar?

 

 

I'll consider the request for a future update.

 

Cheers,
