How about a non-political, info-seeking thread?

737 operators, how does your airline use VNAV during takeoff?

Do you wait until 3,000AGL? Do you arm VNAV on the ground? What is your SOP?

Thanks,
IC
VNAV is a maneuver that is part of a global socialist agenda attempting to control so-called "noise." If the people under the t/o flight path don't like noise they can move somewhere else. That's the free market.
 
At my airline...

Prior to takeoff, go to CLIMB page and set speed to 210kts or 220kts (depending on weight), as well as changeover altitude (Field elev + 3,000). Then reset your climb speed to 250KTS. (You can only input speeds in the climb page after you've entered a ZFW on the INIT REF page.)

After t/o, at 1,000AGL, we call "VNAV, Flaps 1"

Out of 10,000' the PF asks the PM to select ECON CLIMB on the CLIMB page to accelerate.

Crunk...I'm flying w one of our check airmen and this is exactly how he does it. It's pretty sweet.

Good ideas. Thanks guys.

Add this question:

Does your airline use VNAV on a V1 cut or do you switch to LVL CHG?
