"Not at all au fait with the 37NG, but taking a read across from the 47 400, and relying on memory ( ),the Thrust Switch is inhibited on take-off until reaching 400', so a press on the ground shouldn't do anything."

You are, of course, correct, CJ (re the 744). Unfortunately, the 7437NG brings lots of surprises. Having worked on 767's and 747-400's for many years, I thought I knew a little about Boeings ...until, that is, I came across the 737NG.

E.g. FD's which don't appear when you select the FD ON (on the ground), electromagnetically held A/T switch and Wing Anti-Ice switch... and non-electromagnetically held Autobrake switch. Everything topsy turvey, so no assumptions can be made here .. but looking forward to quizzing you on the 744 when the Precision Manual Development Group starts beta testing their MSFS 744 add-on.

Cheers.

P.S. Nice to see you back on the Tech forum
