TCS function...

Hi gents,

A couple of months passed and I am already finishing my route training and enjoying the Ejet quite a lot, despite some of her minor shortcomings.

Well, one thing still buggers me, related to the use of the TCS button: with the AP engaged its usage and effects are straightforward, but I am still trying to figure what it does with the AP disengaged. I noticed that it synchronises the FPV with the FD symbol, but that seems to be it, no other effect.

On my previous type, i.e., when pressing the TCS button and lets say flying with FLCH, this synchronised the FD bars with the current pitch and moved the speed bug to the current speed. I was expecting the same behaviour on the Ejet, but not. And the manuals and my TRIs had no clue either.

Am I missing something?

Best regards,
BF
