wotaskd Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Hello, loving this plane, I'm sure it will be the only thing I will fly in 2016 The one thing that I could not figure out though, is why TOWS will not stop going off every time that I start the takeoff roll. This is what I have: Load airplane with ready-to-fly preset at SFO, RWY 28R Load FMC, set ZFW and GW, derated T/O Flaps 5º per TAKEOFF REF page Trim set to 4.7 units per GROUND SERVICES and TAKEOFF REF page (manually set using X-Plane's default trim commands mapped to my joystick buttons) Auto brakes set to RTO Spoilers armed Parking Brake off F/D on (both), A/T armed Line up with runway centerline, move throttles to 40% N1 until they stabilize, press TO/GA button.... then the horn goes off. Tried setting and resetting everything, same problem. Ideas? Edited April 24, 2016 by wotaskd added more details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wotaskd Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Thanks guys! Spoiler it was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Yeah, Glad you found it. The spoilers have caused a good few real world take-off rejects (although at slow speed). We now have an item in of preflight checklist to make sure the spoilers are in the down detent to help prevent this from happening.

TDPlane Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 With me it was the spoilers. Don't arm them ... and you're good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
