B757 takeoff and approach profiles
Ladies and Gentlemen,
B757 pilots, please put me out of my misery… I fly the B737, and i’m looking at the operating procedures on other aircraft out of interest, and I have some questions about the B757. Don’t ask, I just want to know!
For an EFATO, at acceleration height, why do you use VS 0-200fpm? Why can’t you just increase the speed on the MCP to the flaps up maneovering speed? If its an issue with the TO mode, couldn’t you use FLCH?
On an normal low drag ILS which we often fly in the UK, what flap/speed profile do you use, e.g. before and after glideslope capture? Do you ever use Flap 15 and flap 20 on the glideslope with the gear up?
For a single engine ILS, what flap/speed profile do you use?
Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback!
