Hi gents,
Boeing CDU users of PM modules know that on page N1 LIMIT, the OAT is always displayed, being taken from MS-FS, so there's apparently no need to input it manually (at least, this is what I didn't ever enter); a manual input is viceversa required of the SEL temp, should you decide to go for a R-TO ...
Now from what I read elsewhere about the true stuff, it looks like you need to enter the OAT, as taken from an ATIS or alike, no matter what.
Do you normally always enter the OAT ?
Then, I also wonder why doesn't the plane feel the OAT on his own, and use it as a default value ?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge about this matter ...
