NOTE
AT engine and airspeed protections are inhibited below 400 ft AGL.
NOTE
With AT engaged during takeoff or go-around, the THROTTLE position must be
guarded by keeping the pilot's hand on the THROTTLE.
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
Subsection 5.8. Engine Operation
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. Its value corresponds to the Maximum Climb power – refer to
Subsection 5.8. Engine Operation
