Fullwings,

The 787 doesn't have a TAC SWITCH. The TAC is intregral to the FBW system and can't be switched off, so that's why common training would involve leaving the TAC ON in the 777.

This might be a problem for a mixed-fleet qualification, as experience has shown the TAC would probably trip off (re-settably) in a sudden thrust loss on the 777.
