Flight director setting @ departure
My company just changed our SOP's concerning F/D setting on the Dash 8 fleet:
T/O with F/D at TOGA pitch
after liftoff fly V2-V2+10
Bleeds on @ 400'
at 1000' @ AAL engage IAS Mode set Vfto and set climbpower
I think it is rather strange to force pilots to use the IAS mode in this phase of T/O.....
What are your companies' SOP's concerning F/D settings?
What do you think about the described procedure above?
