V-Speed
The V-Speed page is selected with the VSPEED line select key on the OPS
page. Pressing this key prompts left line select key options to change, while the
AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS information remains displayed.
⎯
T/O TEMP
The T/O Temp line select key displays the temperature information from the
left and right OAT probes within 1°C, that is used by the FADEC to calculate
the takeoff power settings.
This line select key also provides for manual pilot override of the
temperature. Pressing the T/O Temp line select key places a cursor in the
bottom portion of the line select window. Rotating the inner portion of the
concentric knob clockwise or counterclockwise increases or decreases the
temperature in 1°C increments between -40°C and 50°C. When a manual
temperature is entered white MAN text appears next to the temperature.
Pressing the T/O Temp line select key a second time resets the temperature
to the ACS calculated values.
⎯
VR
The VR line select key window appears on ground only and displays the ACS
calculated rotation speed setting or allows for manual entry of rotation speed
by the pilot. When the VR line select key is pressed a cursor appears and
the ACS calculated value for rotation based on the current aircraft weight and
flap settings appears in the window. This speed is also automatically bugged
on the airspeed tape on the PFDs.
Rotating inner portion of the concentric knob clockwise or counterclockwise
manually increases the rotation speed value in one knot increments and
automatically changes the bugged airspeed to the selected value.
When a rotation speed is manually selected, amber MAN text appears in the
VR line select window and a REMOVE TARGET line select key option
appears. Pressing the REMOVE TARGET line select key removes the VR
bug on the PFDs and replaces the VR value with three white dashes in the
line select key window.
⎯
VREF
The VREF line select key window appears in flight only and displays the ACS
calculated reference speed setting or allows for manual entry of reference
speed by the pilot. When the VREF line select key is pressed a cursor
appears and the ACS calculated value for rotation based on the current
aircraft weight and flap settings appears in the window. This speed is also
automatically bugged on the airspeed tape on the PFDs.
Rotating inner portion of the concentric knob clockwise or counterclockwise
manually increases the reference speed value in one knot increments and
automatically changes the bugged airspeed to the selected value.
When a reference speed is manually selected, amber MAN text appears in
the VR line select window and a REMOVE TARGET line select key option
appears. Pressing the REMOVE TARGET line select key removes the VREF
bug on the PFDs and replaces the VREF value with three white dashes in
the line select key window.
