If you don’t know JEN is Glenrose it can be confusing.
According to the email I was right as to the cause. Rockwell has a “part” (chip) replacement produced in the plant across the boarder by Mexico that as soon as disseminated and installed will fix this mess. Mx told me ELP had the part. I don’t know the install procedure or time or if this is even completely true but it sounds about right.
Don’t we always hit TOGA at the end of the runway, when. Given the clear for takeoff?? When are others doing it ?
Why does this issue keep us out of RVSM? We have a working transponder.. alt alerter, autopilot.. ADCs... ?
And why are some doing all this “green needles!” The FMS is working except the instance mentioned above. Seems everyone’s doing it all in green..
I hope this is fixed by the time I’m back from vacation. Lol.
