Wiley;
, slip of the finger there? The flex temp is, by definition, always higher than the IOAT. Isn't it?
Thanks, yes I thought so too. Now I'm trying to make sense of the following from the FCOM:
When the thrust lever is in the FLX-MCT detent :
–
On the ground :
The engine runs at the flex takeoff thrust rating if the MCDU has selected a flex takeoff temperature that is higher than the current total air temperature (TAT). Otherwise the engine produces maximum continuous thrust (MCT).
