sparkie66 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Posted November 16, 2017 Pull to manually set speed, instead of by mcp Quote
birdy.dma Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Posted November 16, 2017 Not sure, the plane continue flying at the MCP speed. Quote
Litjan Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 Hi guys, sparkie66 is right - pulling out this knob makes the orange speed cursor decouple from the value on the MCP and you can set it manually. This is useful in case the MCP fails in the real plane. For what it is worth, I never had to use this feature in 10 years of flying the real aircraft. The autopilot will continue to reference the MCP speed - it has no way of knowing where the "orange bug" is - it has no eyes . Cheers, Jan 1 Quote
birdy.dma Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Posted November 17, 2017 Thank you Sir, Hope my MCP is as reliable as your. Quote
