080B050A in CLB: Automatic flip?

[Hardy Heinlin]

Hi Al and all,

just saw Al's training video here at 7:40:

So ...

... when entering 080B050A in a CLB leg, the PSX FMC should flip it to 050A080B
... when entering 050A080B in a DES leg, the PSX FMC should flip it to 080B050A

Correct?

(Internally, either order works; the flip would just be a display effect.)

Could anyone try this on a real Honeywell FMC? Just a random example on a CLB leg and a DES leg, without pressing EXEC.

Tried this out on real hardware (legacy), it flips the entries exactly as you described.

One of my students alerted me to this post.

I did not even have to post or prove it.

Now I am going to have to be careful what I say.

Thanks Hardy...

Hi Al,

so you probably don't get notifications from the forum software.

While you're here, just in case you missed it; I've also added that WAI valve malfunction that you requested :-)
