TUTORIAL #2
27FEB15 RTM DO NOT DUPLICATE For Simulator Use Only
Use the HGS’s takeoff guidance symbology - the dashed line is
your TOGA pitch target. If you rotate too quickly you’ll see a small
solid line with two open circles on the ends (not shown in the
screenshot, but you can see it in the FCOM Vol. 2’s list of HGS
symbols) – this is the tailstrike limit. Under no circumstances
should you rotate past this line on a normal takeoff.
Upon observing a positive rate of climb, move the LANDING
GEAR handle to UP.
Follow the flight director guidance cue on the HGS to maintain
V2+20.
This is a small circle or “donut” – you want to maneuver the
aircraft so that this circle is inside the flight path vector’s larger
circle.
At 400 feet, press CMD A to engage the autopilot.
Remember the “sanity checks” on the FMC position using the actual
ground based VOR and NDB navaids that we set up during preflight?
