Quiet climb. 

Also the pmdg forum requires users to sign each post with their first and last name.

Intro Manual. One of the very last pages.

As Koen mentioned, please ensure that you include your first and last name in your posts.

Wow... first Q Climb question weeks after RTM.  I was certain there were going to be dozens of Q Climb not working threads.  I guess the overheated brakes have stolen the spotlight, oh yeah and the bugs.

We don’t need no stinkin’ Q-CLB! 😛

Actually, I’ll have to give it a go.  There is so much great “stuff” to play with on this masterpiece!

This feature is not documented in the FCOM or QRF.  The single bullet in the list on that page is only somewhat useful in terms of instruction of use.  How do we know how to operate this mode?

Thanks! 😀

Basically, Q-CLB is a reduced thrust climb that is a VNAV pitch mode. I read somewhere that the thrust is reduced to allow a 2% climb. The key to using it is to ensure you have armed VNAV before selecting Q-CLB.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Dan,

The document I searched in - 747-8_FCOM.pdf - does not have that section.
