SG - here is ONE of the previous links mentioned which may be of interest?

Still looking for someone who knows the 'cut-in' and 'cut-out' speed margins for this (other than 1.3xVs) - any 'tecchies' or TRE's?

Out of interest, a previous company encouraged its use on s/e approaches to help with the application of g/a power, engaging it (speed deselected) at around 1000', and REMEMBERING TO CLICK the A/T OUT AFTER the G/A so you do not get caught by the remaining engine whistling back at ALT ACQUIRE . Other companies consider this mode to be 'the work of the devil'. Horses for courses, as they say!
