NOTE
AT engine and airspeed protections are inhibited below 400 ft AGL.
NOTE
With AT engaged during takeoff or go-around, the THROTTLE position must be
guarded by keeping the pilot's hand on the THROTTLE.
Climb
Above 1,000 ft AGL:
For climb with the
AT engaged, it is recommended to use the
FLC FD vertical
mode.
When FLC is active, AT engagement activates the CLIMB AT mode that sets and
maintains engine power in accordance with the climb performance tables ā refer to
Subsection 5.8. Engine Operation.
Then, the target airspeed
is tracked via FD pitch orders. In MAN mode, the target
airspeed is the manually selected airspeed. In FMS mode, the target airspeed is
retrieved from the FMS climb schedule.
Torque Target Display
In MAN or FMS mode, the Maximum Climb Torque index is displayed on the
torque gauge. Its value corresponds to the Maximum Climb power ā refer to
Subsection 5.8. Engine Operation.
