arm mode
I have to agree with Hudson. I fly the classic and our company un offically used the arm mode, but it never got in to our S.O.P's. Later on the company forbid using the arm mode as per the FCTM. We have in addition our "own" ordered a/c, planes from all over the place, and I have noticed on maint. test flights that not all planes have the "alpha floor" set the same. Some start adding power when you get five knots slower than whats in the window, and others wait 'till just below a shaker event!!! I think de-selecting the A/T has its place if you are on a non prescision and you are in level flight waiting for the PDP/VDP, if you go missed just press toga and you get the A/T's. I dont use speed mode. It's kind of a grey area, so I stick with the FCTM.
