FCOM, VOL 2; 4.10.4?
How could you select climb thrust after takeoff or go-around?
• Push the Thrust (THR) Switch
FCOM, VOL 2; 4.10.4

• The ILS front course.
FCOM, VOL 2; 4.10.10

- Select TO/GA
- Disengage autopilot and position both F/D switches off.FCOM, VOL 2; 4.10.16
With the Approach (APP) Switch pushed, at what intercept track angle does the AFDS capture the Localizer?
• 120 degrees of the localizer course.
FCOM, VOL 2; 4.10.16
At what altitude are the autopilot systems powered by separate sources with three autopilots engaged?
• Below 1,500 feet radio altitude.
FCOM, VOL 2; 4.10.16
Can the glideslope be captured prior to Localizer intercept?

the intercept track angle is within 80 degrees of the localizer course.
FCOM, VOL 2; 4.10.12; 4.20.16

• 2,000 feet per minute of climb.
FCOM, VOL 2; 4.10.21; 4.20.14

• THR REF, at full go-around thrust.
FCOM, VOL 2; 4.10.21; 4.20.14
What AFDS status annunciation displays above the attitude display on the PFD when the autopilot is engaged?
• CMD
FCOM, VOL 2; 4.20.3
When does VNAV activate?
• VNAV activates at 400 feet above runway elevation.
FCOM, VOL 2; 4.10.8
