TOD to APP
Sorry, if thread spread, am avidly reading all your posts to check if this has been answered -
actually, I have a Question.
don`t care if openeing myself up to criticism but:
I know I should know this, but suddenly have forgotten it - notwithstanding Alzheimers, or even spelling . . If at TOD I shall avoid all FMA and PFD checks for this scenario - (God this is so simple)
you are just before TOD say, and everything not mentioned here has been done . .
You set up a lower FL say FL170 and push and down you go,
If, if you select speed 280 say, then the descent is still managed but the speed is not.
A/P is still engaged.
A/Th is still in, (at work will get back to you )- anyway, will not the a/c manage the descent, except that your in Selected Spd and the descent will be managed as the aircraft tries to maintain the profile using pwr + att .
