84
Q

What is the min and mac pitch in the TO or GA modes?

89
Q

What is SPDe? What mode uses SPDe?

A
  • Speed on elevator, thrust is fixed and pitch is adjusted to maintain airspeed (VS changes)

90
Q

What is SPDt? What mode uses it?

A
  • Speed on thrust, thrust is adjusted to maintain selected speed
  • FPA, VS, GS, ALT, ASEL
91
Q

What is the only vertical mode that allows and altitude change without first selecting a different altitude in the ALT SEL window?

A

GS mode

92
Q

When does the speed indication switch from IAS to MACH?

A

FL290

93
Q

What are the six AT modes?

A

SPDe, SPDt, TO, GA, HOLD

94
Q

If the thrust levers are not in the TOGA position on takeoff what EICAS message will you receive?

A

ENG TLA NOT TOGA (Amber)

95
Q

Normally the engine thrust rating changes from T/O to CLB at 400’ on takeoff as long as the vertical mode has been activated and the gear is up. What happens if no change in vertical mode is detected?

A

Then it switches at 3000’

96
Q

What does the LIM annunciation mean?

A

The vertical speed and target speed are not compatible with the thrust rating available (can’t do it)

97
Q

How can you tell the auto throttles are armed?

A

On the FMA there will be a white TO in the bottom left corner

98
Q

To activate the auto throttles (AT) on the ground, the AT must be operational, the TO mode must be armed and both thrust levers need to be above what?

A

50 deg TLA

Q

If the flight crew overrides (OVRD) the auto throttles, will the auto throttles disengage?

A

No, unless the crew moves the thrust levers beyond TOGA

102
Q
