QUOTE (cowpatz @ Jun 26 2014,12:48 PM) The FLCH mode and resultant Autothrottles in HOLD is a trap to the unwary on nearly all Boeing glass aircraft. It is disappointing to see Boeing not improve on this known aspect on the 777 or even the 787. It should have a 'wake up' function (whereby the thrust is applied if speed drops below a determined value) as it does when in other modes. A simple software change I would have thought. Normally when flying an ILS the AT is in speed mode (If the AT is in HOLD mode it will change to SPD when capturing the glideslope). Even though the...

Item on the news last night , surprising for its cost appeared to be very little on board the aircraft.

Of course we are not party to Emirates' business case, so it's pure speculation what drives their fleet choice. Interestingly, they appear to be looking at expanding the A380 fleet, as well as adding B777-X The biggest winner, ironically is the A330. With the B787 programme slippage, it cleaned up that market sector. In fact, it is probably the A350's biggest enemy...

Thanks Les, It's my bane, I never got married other to a library and the love and lust for most everything that go bang and crash, today you get Utube and doco TV I still believe in the books for example, I have six specialized on the B-17 Flying Fortress, never believe what you read in one book or recent publications or buy a couple to cross reference information and details then you those doco's top ... another good thing is go and meet the people at aeronautical society meetings and have a good chin wag. By the way Les nice book /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :)...
