MTOP

[Perry333]

I have pretty much everything figured out except I can't seem to get FO to set MTOP. I have it set in brief and and say it in the after start check list. Also if I click on it in the panel in resets back to NTOP. I don't use it all the time ,just when I'm at shorter runway. Thanks for help.

I asked the Dash 8 developer about this.

MTOP is used for emergencies.

 

His response:

MTOP has a cancellation timer. The logic is:

MTOP will cancel if PLs <60 and not in AF test mode  >5 seconds

 This is to prevent using MTOP in any other conditions except for emergency

Thanks Byork, I had a similar question a while back, I didn’t word it quite as succinctly as Perry, never really did get a good response, thought it was a glitch.  This clears it up, I appreciate it!

Thanks Byork for getting back to me. Sorry I took awhile to get back ,but have been really busy lately. I guess there is always something to learn! Thanks again,Perry.
