So when exactly does Boeing say the ARM mode SHOULD be part of ANY SOP??
Not sure it's stated anywhere - but happy to be corrected.
If correct then the use of ARM is only restricted by your imagination - or lateral thought, a thing too often lacking in todays society IMHO:
- Push TOGA in a go-around and (if in ARM) 1st stage power is applied - therefore avoiding the very incident I mentioned of applying insufficient thrust at a time of high workload;
- leave in ARM on a dark and stormy 600' low vis circling approach and (after politely pointing out to the individual they are getting too slow) if uncorrected will apply power to avoid stickshaker and/or stall.
Using features that increase safety to....increase safety, interesting concept. When will such lunacy end??
And please - anyone - do not try and misquote Mr Boeings words against him - use of ARM not NORMALLY recommended as KISS principle for new jet operators; everything manual or everything auto.
With proper training and understanding - fill your boots (as I've done for over 26 years.)
Finally same question applies - why would Boeing bother with a function that is never, ever to be used??
