I'm curious to know how GA's are handled on this aircraft, particularly the transition from climb-out to acceleration on the flap-speed schedule?
I understand that at the end of a flight, with little fuel on board, a 747 will be fairly over-powered. One "click" of the TOGA switches is the norm to give a climb-out of 2000fpm, correct? Now, how do you go about accelerating?
Surely, if you choose FLCH, you're going to end up with a very fast rate of climb, followed by a rapid pitching over to halt at your missed approach altitude? On the other hand, will selecting V/S give you short sharp accelerations as you advance the speed bug to each limit on the flap schedule?
I hope this makes sense?
