A bystander here - question re: automatics and climbing for bus drivers...
Hi guys,
A procedural question if I may for any bus drivers (I'm working on the basis of the 32x but it is probably similar for the bigger jets too).
After takeoff, CLB is automatically engaged. Is this correct? Do you also have to *manually* engage the AP to engage NAV mode, or does it automatically engage at a certain altitude?
Then, in the climb phase, does the PF have to manually keep the AoA to whatever angle is proscribed, or is that then automatic as part of ALT or CLB (ie, at thrust reduction and accel altitudes is the pitch then automatic)? If the pitch has to be manually kept, surely that would disengage the any APs that are active?
Many thanks for your time.
