Controls and Displays
FMS.30.70
AVAILABLE FOR ACTIVATION thrust limits are displayed in small font with
an asterisk. Pilot selection results in this thrust limit immediately becoming the
new, ACTIVE thrust limit.
ARMED thrust limits are displayed in large font without an asterisk (MCT, CLB,
CRZ, G/A) and are programmed to automatically become the ACTIVE thrust
limit as flight conditions (aircraft state or phase of flight) require. A pilot manually
selecting any ARMED thrust limit changes the functioning THRUST LIMIT
mode to MANUAL and the selected thrust limit immediately becomes the
ACTIVE thrust limit.
AVAILABLE FOR ARMING thrust limits are displayed in small font without an
asterisk (CLB1, CLB2). Pilot selection results in this thrust limit immediately
becoming the new, ARMED thrust limit. Selecting this thrust limit does not
change the functioning THRUST LIMIT mode but immediately becomes the
corresponding ARMED thrust limit.
An item on the THRUST LIMITS page which is pin selectable but is independent
of the aircraft engine type is:
a. Dual Derate: This option provides two fixed-percentage derates each
for takeoff and climb. When enabled, two takeoff and two climb
fixed-percentage derates are available for selection. The derate
percentage values are fixed, and cannot be altered by the pilot.
