146 Professional

@dosendo not a problem. I have since tried this and confirm it fixed the issue for the cargo door. There is no aft passenger in the cargo variant also the air stair will open without the pressure but won’t retract until the pressure is on too

@plhought Thanks

@huibrecht Also, the TMS takes into account the actual outside temperature. So, if you setup the TMS for a certain temp and the actual atmospheric temp changes, it'll throw it out and compensate for the actual temp. A common problem for us, especially on an early morning flight flight in summer.

@abcdeflijus Thanks for providing everyone with your solution. Key bindings can cause absolute havoc sometimes.

@b3lt3r I dont know why couldn’t figure that out! I was out of Idea’s! But it was that simple! Thank so much for the help!!!

@avionic ah ok didn't know that. That explains it thanks!

@flyforever I believe both methods work - when I climb - I normally do it in IAS mode and will get to the climb rate then engage IAS and finally AP. If I want to change it then use the temp AP release and pitch to what I want then release. On descent 99/100 I use use and will use the method I outlined first - new alt, VS, pitch control and down I go - normally around 2300fpm which holds around 250kts. That sequence does work equally well for climb (for me).

The orange "speed bug" on the airspeed indicator is just a bug on the instrument and only interfaces with the fast/slow speed deviation bug on the ADI. However, on many aircraft - the fast/slow deviation scale on the ADI is actually deactivated. Don't know why. Just something I've noticed with some old 146's out there. It does not interface with the AP or flight director modes to answer your IAS vertical mode question. When IAS mode is selected the pitch attitude of the aicraft is automatically controlled to maintain the airspeed existing at the moment of mode selection. vAPP is a pretty standard SOP selection so it can drive the fast/slow scale on the ADI, which gives the pilot good feedback when flying an approach. As for it's use in other phases of flight - it would be up to the operator but set it as you see fit! Patrick

The typical method to set cruise on the 146 with the TMS was SYNC #1 N1 & TGT modes both on. You then dial in a cruise TGT - and the #1 engine would then go to that set EGT. The other engines will now sync with the #1 N1 - avoiding harmonic irregularities in the cabin - and forgo trying to set the TGT. The TGT between engines would be markedly different in some cases (particularly #1 & 4 vs 2 & 3) so using TGT sync only wasn't typical in cruise. Patrick

Hi Fori, There is some confusion here. Your Pitot heater isn't frozen. The AIR LO TEMP annunciator means the temperature in the wing and tail anti/de-ice air supply ducts is low. This is usually because of insufficient air-flow. In your picture your ENG AIR supply switches are off - the APU air is not sufficient for ice protection. It is usually not required to run the inner-wing de-ice at the same time as the outer wing/tail anti-ice. This is because in the decent through icing conditions the engine air flow is usually not sufficient at lower powers. When flaps are extended beyond flaps 18 then you would utilize the de-ice, along with use of engine air. Speedbrake is handy in this case for keeping engine speeds up sufficient to provide sufficient bleed-air flow. Just many of the plates you have to spin/juggle flying a 146/RJ!

Today I did not get callouts when the localizer and glideslope were captured. Under what circumstances can this happen? LOWI East Approach (LLZ/DME) via RTT NDB at an altitude of 9.500 ft. Karl

@tommchowat Beautiful, thank you so much!

@mhaviate Thank you! I had a fire handle pulled out on the 146 and couldn't get it back in.

@martyn Thanks for explaining. Would it be possible to consider amending the logic to accept the OFP values in effect as a final loadsheet unless they would exceed airframe maxima? Not a showstopper but I do like things tidy (Needless to say eagerly waiting news on the RJ, -300 and 747)

Thanks for the answer. In the meantime, I have actually found my error: AC Pump "Off". Again a problem, which is not a problem at all. Sorry! That with the TMS will then probably be a bug. Good to know that the lower limit is 600c. However, the error described above has also only occurred once so far. I had only wondered.
