Thanks Northeast Canuck,

OK so as I understand it the F/D will command a 300ft/min climb and the speed the aircraft had at the time the V/S button was pressed (so in the range of V2/V2+15).
If the auto throttle was on at that time wouldn't it try to maintain the MCP speed then?So in fact around V2 to V2+15?If this was the case isn't there a chance for the auto throttle to even command a thrust reduction?
Or maybe the A/T disengages during an engine failure?
Or is there something I am not seeing?
I thought that selecting V/S 300ft/min and 190kts would take care of the speed too but apparently the speed is only dealt with after FLCH selection.

a confused non 767 rated guy.....
