I’m wondering why no one replied to this thread. Let me answer: cause this knowledge is theoretical and not needed for operational use. Day to day operation I never wonder if I am within the degrees specified in the FCOM vol.2 chapter automation page Xxx.
If I one day wonder why a/c did not intercept the LNAV and I have time in FL430. Then I will open the book and look for the answer. This is why we always have to be aware what is written in the FMA. If your FMA is not writing LNAV armed or engaged..... guess what.... it is not and probably you didn’t fill the engagement criteria’s. So be it.... move closer to your magenta line and try again....
how many ways is there to disengage a 737 autopilot?? 7 but who counts?
Those people not agreeing with me and think that this knowledge is necessary, please tell me how many fan blades are on your specific aircraft or how many degrees it takes before the bleed system overheats.... these things are not operational necessary...
Sorry for bitching and bear with me. We are pilots, not astronauts... not talking about manual skills or the other popular subjects nowadays with “package pilots” I’m sure u know what I mean.
