effective (or effective at all) in this state and if the heat increases further,
you run the risk of fire and blowing tires.
You can cool the brakes this by bringing up the CDU and going to
MENU/FS ACTIONS/GROUND MAINTENANCE, hit NEXT PAGE, then
select COOL BRAKES at LSK 1L.
My [insert passenger/VA program here] is flagging me for
excessive V/S:
A common misconception is that passengers are sensitive to vertical
speed when they are not. The only difference that the passengers would
note would be that their ears were popping more frequently. The
departure profile is flown in a pitch-for-speed mode, where you set the
throttles on the particular throttle limit and hold speed through aircraft
pitch. At lighter weights, these pitch angles may be considerable. In order
to reign in some of the thrust for lower pitch and vertical speed, derates
may be used.
I cannot get TO/GA to activate:
Make sure that you have BOTH flight directors active. If the flight directors
are off the A/T (autothrottle) will command the throttles to the current N1
setting.
I couldn’t get LNAV to arm/engage:
LNAV has some specific parameters that must be met for it to
arm/engage. These are:
• To arm LNAV while on the ground: The first waypoint in your
flight plan must be within 5 degrees of the departure runway
course.
• To arm LNAV in flight: Requires a valid interception point for
active leg, interception angle less than 90 degrees OR within 3
miles cross tracks error OR within 3 miles from active. LNAV will
stay armed until interception.
The bank limiter isn’t working as I expected in LNAV:
LNAV uses its own auto-bank limit when turning to follow the LNAV
course. It will use a maximum of 25 degrees unless in approach mode or
in holding.
