Hi Sascha,

I use a CS 757 version 4.x (FSX) but I think both controls are similars. So, I would like to know:

Do you usually select TO/GA mode at Thrust Mode Select Panel, located at right side of EICAS Display, before take-off?

CS B-757's maximum EPR's limits are:

TAKE OFF/GO AROUND (TO/GA) > 1.79
CLIMB (CLB) > 1.66
CLIMB (CLB 1) > 1.60
CLIMB 2 (CLB 2) > 1.53
CONTINUOUS (CON) > 1.66
CRUISE (CRZ) > 1.66

Maximum allowable EPR is computed as a function of altitude, temperature, speed, and service bleeds.

The selected mode is showed at EICAS display, for example, CLB.

Fuel consumption during taxi depends of distance between the gate and runway threshold. If you are parked near the runway threshold your consumption will be low. Otherwise will be higher.

Best regards,

Pinatubo.
