canuck,
thanks for that, much clearer now!
Since we're at it, does V/S on the 767 work like that all the time or just during an engine failure?
What if you are descending in FLCH and then select V/S with a shallow rate of descent, would the A/T remain at idle having you loose your airspeed unless you level off or intervene manually on the thrust levers?
But I guess we're drifting off topic.....
