N1 TGT in in range checklist

[JumboAg]

What is the required action for pilot flying when N1 TGT is displayed on the In Range checklist?  totoritko's demo flight didn't go through the approach side checklists so I'm winging it to some extent.

Set the thrust limit to TO.

Thank you, I recalled having this done on my first flight, but for some reason, forgot that I did since then and so just had to manually confirm the checklist. Now I know what I had forgotten.

This checklist item has a quirk btw. When I select TO limit, the checklist system notices that I did and marks the checklist item green, but does not advance to the next item. It still needs a manual "next item" trigger. That seems to be a bug?!

The next item is the APU packs transition. The virtual FO waits for the APU to be started and warmed up before initiating the packs transition (note AVAIL/COMPLETE, hence it doesn't immediately advance).

Well, this is a very special 2-part item them, one that doesn't get the left column readout before the right column criteria is met? Sounds very strange. Anyway, will check next flight what's going on, thanks for the hint.

It's not a matter of "reading out" he will. If you have your hints on, it'll show a . in the top bar. Basically, once you hit that, the FO waits for the APU to fully warm up and then he'll proceed. It generally takes 2 minutes and you do not have to manually mark anything complete.

When the blue period shows at the top of the screen, I have been waiting for the APU Avail light to show on the overhead panel and then manually advancing the checklist.  Are you saying that I should just wait approx. 2 minutes after the blue period is displayed and the checklist will advance automatically?

Correct, FO waits 2 minutes then does the apu transition checks, once done he turns on the apu gen and moves onwards.

Probably well known, but connected to the subject of this topic: In range checklist is executed when descending through FL100/10 000ft.

10 minutes to landing is a good rule of thumb, though it can be completed at any point below FL150 (for APU start).

Thanks, now got it. Hopefully getting to fly the CL650 this weekend finally again and will confirm.
