minus-squareSpermHowitzer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 days agoThe 737 won’t fly an RA on autopilot. We have to disconnect the autopilot and auto throttle and hand fly it. There’ll be a red box on the PFD that we just keep the pitch outside of, and we’ll be fine.
minus-squareSkunk@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 days agoOk, I just looked at the737-NG PFD RA and it looks different from what I know but I wasn’t aware that you had to hand fly it. As the aircraft was climbing and with the yoke I guess it’s easy to push it a bit too hard and spill some coffee.
