not true during T/O phase ! So you don't ALWAYS get both together...
If you read the whole sentence you will see the FMGS is in CLIMB phase, not T/O. I was trying to illustrate to JohnC that the AP/FD and FMGS can appear to think along different lines....
And my "always" means that for any common AP/FD mode you always get both the relevant lateral and vertical modes together.
Unless JohnC has more questions... too much thread drift for me. G'day.
