Nice KLM Cargo 744ERF AUTOLAND Video @ Quito

[G-CIVA]

Confirms KLM airframes have not received the NG FMS update too ...

If GE engines are installed, when in REV, it looks like the EICAS does show a throttle cursor.

In the video it looks to me like REV#2 might be deactivated under an MEL restriction & as only REVs#1/4 are taken out of the IDLE REV position; to me it looks like the Throttle Cursor on ENG Indications 1 & 4 disappear as the engines move from IDLE REV to partial & then into FULL REV.

The ENG Indication on ENG 3 still appears to have a Throttle Cursor since it remains at IDLE REV as does the ENG Indication on ENG 2. The Green REV indication does not appear above ENG#2 indications.

Here is another GE ERF ... Throttle Cursor indications look very clear ... then appear to disappear with selection of Partial/FULL REV:

PW Freighter ... Throttle Cursor indications look very clear ... appear to disappear immediately with selection of IDLE REV:

Thoughts?

edit: There should be a decent SilkWayWest programme coming out in the near future - lets hope it features a RR powered airframe & we get some decent footage of Reverse Thrust in action.

I hope that I am wrong, but I believe that it will be B747-8F only....

To me, it looks like #4 too has a cursor.

We're doing a bunch of 767 charters to SEQM this month...maybe I should finagle a ride there
