Flch

I'd like to talk about FLCH please.

For starters, what are its vertical speed limits? Is it a mode that works only with constant rate of descent? When do you choose between V/S and FLCH?

Also what thrust setting does it use? How does it choose a thrust setting?

Why do pilots transition from VNAV to FLCH at the lower levels? What exactly are the benefits?
