Q. How long do you have to leave the THR LVRs at the TOGA detent for the refresh rate of the sensor to log the command?
A. Dunno - a mate told me it was a good way of getting skyward not too quickly
Q. What happens if you are too quick and move the THR LVRs away from the TOGA detent before the command is logged?
A. Ehm.... (You make an a&-e of yourself like the Jetstar crew)
If the big guys (test pilots) haven't done it there is no need to do it!
Thread drift 🚨 alert!
I hope BOEING's lawyers crush this idiotic case quickly. There have been untold numbers of TOGA engagements without incident. I believe EK and ETIHAD removed the pertinent info from their FCOMs - they should be the ones under the microscope not BOEING IMHO.
