I have a copy of an illustration of the Flight System that suggests that the auto part of the takeoff was CWS and SAS only. The accompanying text reads:
" The Avionic Flight Control System (AFCS) provides manual or automatic modes of control throughout the total flight envelope from take-off to landing."
" The Avionic Flight Control System (AFCS) provides manual or automatic modes of control throughout the total flight envelope from take-off to landing."
TriStar...so very far ahead of its time...younger folks would be simply amazed.
Or....not

TriStar, the first with dual/dual automatic approach/land capability...and still considered in a class of its own.
IE: the GOLD standard...of which others try...and just now, equal.
Thirty years later.
