Intruder I know your flying the -8, which I am not so you have the hands on advantage. Tell me does the -8 generate Vspeeds for T.O.? I ask this because I spent a few hours last week working on an alternative work around so the -8 instructors could do a demo for the FAA on a 747-8 course. I know that the Instructor cadre at Boeing have few if any good words to say about this FMC. Wonder what give there?
Yes, ours generate Vspeeds. The Aerodata performance upload can modify those Vspeeds, and we are having trouble with the uploads to the FMS, so we usually have to input them manually.
Dunno what problems they are having at Boeing...
