Following Flight Director after takeoff in A320
Hi,
I have read that one should not follow the flight director (around 20°) after takeoff during SRS phase. Instead a pitch of approximately 12,5° is recommend until the acceleration height is reached.
Is this correct?
If yes, I'm noticing in the simulator that the speed is not staying at V2+10 knots (SRS speed) but is instead increasing very fast in direction to managed climb speed = e.g. green dot speed.
Due to that when the switch from SRS to climb mode occurs I have usually already reached very high speeds by then. Above slat retraction speed!
When staying with the flight director during SRS phase (pitch around 20°) the speed stays roughly at V2+10knots and the plane starts to accelerate to managed climb speed only after surpassing acceleration height, which I assume is correct.
Can someone please clarify this!
Thank you!
Best regards Andi
