757/767 A/T with GA engagement
Sequ,
"If the airplane is on the ground but has been below five feet radio altitude for less than two seconds when the GA switch is pushed, the autopilot go-around pitch mode will engage but the autothrottle mode will remain IDLE."
Also, isn't there something about the flaps not up or be on an ILS GS, and have been above 5 feet RA for more than 2 seconds for the GA autothrottle setting to arm?
This out of the Vol 2 for the 757/767. I'm guessing that for the 757/767 the A/T will stay at idle.
>>>I donīt have any experience in other Boeing aircraft, but in the 767 we only disconnect the autothrottle arm switch during Non-Normal Checklists...for normal operation the switch is always armed.
Excellent point about the accidental TOGA activation!!! Never crossed my mind!
