lancer...

The 767 FD pitches up to maintain the speed you had at GA engagement (better go and pull out the Boeing manual and check that in case some loser asks )...Vref30 + 5-10kts would be common...and as lancer suggests AT would set thrust to maintain 2000'/min (it reduces to that after we finish shoving to the wall )....then accelerate to Vref30+40, flaps from 20 to 5 if immediate return to land or Vref30+80/flaps 0 for extended swanning around.

I have no idea what the 330 does but would be surprised if it was not similar in effect even though the Froggies want to talk about 'green dot' speed or some such terminolgy seemingly just intended to be different from Boeing.

Tis ALL good fun....not as exciting on average as bush flying...haven't landed with my knees knocking (except in a sim) in over a decade but still beats the crap out of working for a living
