It might have something to do with One Eng INOP profile ,say if you miss it on T/O : no action below 400 (only Positive CLB / Gear UP) fly the acft , 400 HDG or LNAV (memo items and APU on if aplicable), 1000ft
VS 200, Bug UP ,Retract Flaps on Schedule,Cln ACFT and MCSPD ,MCT ADJUST,FLCH, NNC QRH, Norm CHKLIST.The selection of VS 200 allows the ACT to ACCELERATE to MCSPD safely.If you disconnect A/p then your flying Manually so you have to monitor carefully SPD and ATT.Normal procedure calls for 400 LNAV or HDG, 1000 VNAV or FLCH (in some ACFT you need to select CLB THR before selecting any pitch mode on the MCP).Be always ahead of FLT director he´s not 100% reliable.I remember once in JFK we los all AUTOFLT capability
no AUTO THR ,no A/P,no FLT DIRECTOR it was actually frozen in HDG and VS at 2000´it was comanding 28 degrees of pitch
wich obviously we didn´t follow.
Fly Safe guys/girls!!
