Climb
Above 1 000 ft AGL :
For climb with the AT engaged, it is recommended to use the
FLC
FD vertical mode.
When
FLC
is active, AT engagement activates the
CLIMB
AT mode that sets and
maintains engine power in accordance with the climb performance tables - refer to
section 5.10 Climb performance.
Then, the target airspeed is tracked via FD pitch orders. In MAN mode, the target
airspeed is the manually selected airspeed. In FMS mode, the target airspeed is
retrieved from the FMS climb schedule.
Torque target display
In MAN or FMS mode, the Maximum Climb Torque index is displayed on the torque
gauge when the inertial separator is OFF. Its value corresponds to the Maximum
Climb power - refer to chapter 5.8 Engine operation.

Cruise

NOTE
●
During the acceleration between the climb and the cruise airspeed, the AT may
increase engine power, slightly before engine aerodynamic cooling becomes
fully effective. As a result, the NG and/or ITT parameters may temporarily enter
the cautionary range of the SEI and trigger the AT engine protection (engine
power reduction associated with the
NG HI
and/or
ITT HI
CAS messages).
This may occur until cruise airspeed is stabilized.
