Shibby Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Would someone mind explaining how to use the TOGA button on the Jetstream 32? This is my first go at a non-GA plane and I'm loving it!! Quote
Cooley Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Here is the help from the manual (p.47)... The button on the Power Levers is not modeled, so you will have to assign a button on your joystick. TOGA BUTTON.Activates T.O.G.A. mode (remember you have to switch on Autopilot servos in front panel.)But always is a good ide if you asign the function to a button of your joystick. The function islocated same as Reverse mode button function, but in Autopilot middle menu,take_off_go_around.Remember that TOGA mode won’t exit until a new horizontal AND vertical mode are set orarmed. The TOGA feature controls the Flight Director to command a pitch up 10 degrees for a go-around/missed approach. Quote

Does it do anything on take off? Quote

Shibby Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Posted February 16, 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeoff/Go-around_switch This is where I'm confused, I didn't think the Jetstream had autothrottle. Quote

Does it do anything on take off?For takeoff, some pilots like to press TOGA to set the flight director command bars for the initial aircraft pitch attitude. In the J32 it's not that sophisticated. You can see in Cameron's wiki reference the TOGA function can integrate a lot more in Airbus & Boeing Quote
