April 21, 20242 yr With packs on, TO thrust and FLEX TO thrust is 104.4%: Turning the packs off increases TO thrust to 105.1%, this is correct. However, I would have expected FLEX TO thrust to increase as well, but it remained at 104.4%: Turning the FLEX TO TEMP up and down via the dial refreshes it to 105.1% as well:
April 21, 20242 yr FLX TO is a manual setting based on calculations. In a nutshell you are derating the engines by telling the FADEC that the temperature is different than it really is. IRL your dispatch system will advise you as to what flaps and takeoff settings to use given your weight, runway length, runway conditions, winds, temp, altitude etc. If the conditions warrant, you would be given a FLX TO assumed temp to use. I will read the FCOM, but I would not expect this "manual" setting to change automatically with PACKS on or off. I could be wrong, so will check the FCOM when I can.

April 22, 20242 yr Author That stuff is copyrighted, we shouldn't share those here. But search for the A310, you will find a manual with the same FMC as the ini A300.
