If the displayed runway or runway/intersection pair matches a runway or
runway/intersection pair in FMC uplink memory, the associated TAKEOFF REF
UPLINK is annunciated for flight crew ACCEPT/REJECT.

Change of Performance Data After V Speed Entry
V speeds should be entered on the TAKEOFF REF page as a final step of FMC
preflight. If V speeds are entered and then performance data (for example, OAT
or takeoff thrust) is subsequently changed, the FMC automatically removes the
previously entered V speeds and the NO VSPD flag shows on the airspeed
indication.

of the following items are changed after V speeds have been entered:
• gross weight
• zero fuel weight
• plan fuel.
[Option - Without company data link or FMC computed takeoff speeds]
The FMC allows the flight crew to re-display the previously entered V speeds.
[Option - With company data link or FMC computed takeoff speeds]

access to these subsystems. The active system is indicated by <ACT> displayed
next to the system title. A subsystem that requires use of the CDU displays a
request message <REQ> next to the subsystem title. The FMC system or a
requesting subsystem is accessed by using the line select key next to the title. The
FMC can be reselected by selecting the FMC prompt on the MENU page or
selecting any mode key (INIT/REF, RTE, etc.). A subsystem can be temporarily
placed on hold <HLD> by selecting the subsystem XXXXXX HOLD> line select
key returning the CDU display to the currently active FMC page (XXXXXX
represents the system name). While the subsystem is on hold the MCDU CALL
light is illuminated. To reselect the subsystem on hold, push the subsystem line
select key again. When a subsystem is placed on hold a XXXXXX LOGOFF
prompt appears to allow for release of the subsystem being held. No more than one
subsystem can be selected at a time. If an attempt is made to select more than one
subsystem, a FIRST LOGOFF XXXXXX prompt is displayed as a reminder to

FMC Takeoff and Climb
Section 41
Introduction
The FMC takeoff phase begins with the selection of takeoff/go-around (TO/GA).
Preparation for this phase begins in the preflight phase and includes entry of the
TAKEOFF REF page data.
The takeoff phase automatically changes to the climb phase when climb thrust is
selected. The climb phase continues to the top of climb point, where the cruise
phase begins.
During these phases, the following pages are normally used:
• TAKEOFF REF page - to make last minute changes to the departure
runway
• DEPARTURES page - to make last minute changes to the SID
• CLIMB page - to modify climb parameters and monitor airplane climb
performance
• RTE LEGS page - to modify the route and monitor route progress
• PROGRESS page - to monitor the overall progress of the flight
• N1 LIMIT page - to select alternate climb thrust limits
• DEP/ARR INDEX page - to select an approach during a turn-back.
Takeoff Phase
When last minute changes are made to the departure runway and SID, the
TAKEOFF REF and DEPARTURES pages must be modified to agree. The
modifications are performed the same as during preflight.
With correct takeoff parameters, the FMC commands the selected takeoff thrust
when the TO/GA switch is pushed. During the takeoff roll, the autothrottle
commands the thrust and the FMC commands acceleration to between V2+15 and
V2+25 knots.
LNAV can be selected prior to takeoff. Prior to 50 feet radio altitude, roll
command is wings level. At 50 feet radio altitude, if within engagement criteria,
LNAV engages and provides roll commands to fly the route leg. VNAV may be
engaged to control the climb profile.
Note: For LNAV to be engaged on the ground, the departure runway must be
selected and the course, to the first waypoint, must be within 5 degrees of
the runway heading.
