MCP Problem

[bravolima]

Hello Arnaldo,

what you explain is absolutely right. Given the situation you are bound on a SID, then you should check the SID in your FMS during cockpit preparation and stay with in the limits after take off. Easy said, I find myself often 500 or 1000ft higher than the FMC values in my simflights, but below the initial altitute given by ATC. Needless to say, it is not a good idea to activate VNAV at this early stage of departure.
By the way the departure and the climb-pathes on bigger airports are often variant and not always strictly according to the issued SID, then it is good to know what tools you have to modify your departure climb. Often you can hear on ATC " go dircet to XXXXX and climb FLXXX"....

.... ?

Given ICAO noise abatement procedures in force, are you allowed to speed up to 210 KIAS, instead of maintaning V2 + 20, up to 3000 ft AFE ?
I was taught to do the "bug up" and clean the aircraft only after that limit (3000 ft AFE) ...
