..c100 driver..et all..

It's been a few months since I practised "Windshear Escape" in the sim, however...

In a normal G/A, on the first push of TO/GA buttons, the FMA will say "THR". On the second push, the FMA will revert to "THR REF". I believe at this second push, the 2000 fpm ROC logic disappears.

In a "Windshear" G/A (where the aircraft has recognized AND given the warning of "WINDSHEAR, WINDSHEAR" ), I seem to recall that the FMA will be "THR REF" on the first push of the TO/GA button. The 2000 fpm logic is not applied. ??? The end result is, practically, the same. I think we're "splitting hairs" here.

..I have tried to find this in the FCOM, but I could not. And my memory does occasionally fail me...like it did this year on Valentines Day.

Cheers
