No urgency, just curiosity, thanks )

Looking through some notes, I see the 744 A/P doesn't seem to use the Air/Ground System as a trigger for mode changes, at least not directly. The Rad Alt provides an in-air/on-ground signal to the FCCs at 5'. The Air/Ground System only enables testing. However, the FMC may be controlling mode changes at this point.
