Fab10 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The A310 MCP has a speed intervention feature, whereas the A300 appears to not have this. Whilst I cannot recall my differences training between the A300 & 310 in XP (too long ago!), I believed that the A300-600R featured the avionics and systems of the A310 with all improvements and updates. Is there a way to speed intervene whilst in Profile mode? Thank-you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabby Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Yes and no. When you intervene with the speed though other changes occur too. From the FCOM 3 SPD/MACH SELECTOR KNOB TURN Sets the speed/Mach target value. PUSH Allows a speed or Mach to be preset. The PRE SET light illuminates. (Second push deactivates pre-set function, and the PRE SET light goes off.) PULL (while PROFILE mode is engaged) Causes a manual reversion to selected modes: – If in level flight, PROFILE mode disengages and SPD mode (A/THR) and ALT mode (AP/FD) engage. – If in climb or descent, PROFILE mode disengages and LVL/CH engages. In both cases, the speed/Mach window synchronizes on the present aircraft speed/Mach. 2 Mark "Crabby" Crabtree AAL311 | PHL I7-9700KF | 2070 Super | Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo | MFG Crosswind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ual763 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 You can also always go into TACT mode to change speed but have FMC (PROF) still manage the altitude profile. 2 Robert Schumacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab10 Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Yes, thanks, I knew that one, but still a good reminder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene Feijen Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 In PROFILE mode is it shown somewhere what expected (indicated airspeed en vertical speed) speeds are? 13900K@5.6GHZ | RTX4090 | 32GB | DDR5 | Honeycomb A B | Virpil Stick Collective | TPR pedals | Saitek Panels | X Touch Mini | Varjo Aero | Wacom Tablet | 34" Monitor | JBL LX44 speakers | SPAD.next | Navigraph | Skydemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene Feijen Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Or are they by definition the speeds depicted with flightlevel in the flightplan pages. And then: why cant I manually change the restriced speeds/altitude? Quote Vertical revisions to the flightplan can be made at any point along the route of flight Quote It says in the A310 FMS Pilot's Guide. Or is it only possible in a A310 and not A300? 13900K@5.6GHZ | RTX4090 | 32GB | DDR5 | Honeycomb A B | Virpil Stick Collective | TPR pedals | Saitek Panels | X Touch Mini | Varjo Aero | Wacom Tablet | 34" Monitor | JBL LX44 speakers | SPAD.next | Navigraph | Skydemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab10 Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 TACT mode is a temporary selection which remains active until the next phase of flight. PROFILE follows the cues as shown in the MCDU. PROFILE mode ALT & IAS/M can be changed by selecting the RLSK and entering new values (A300 & A310). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
