What is this, how do you determine it, what is the entry format??

Very confusing and I cannot seem to get the CDU to accept one.

The manual ‘767 Captain’ FLIGHT MANUAL Part V – Flight Management System 49 (cs767_manual5.pdf) pages 48 & 49 has this to say on it:

1. Flap/Acceleration Height (FLAP/ACCEL HT)

Enter a valid takeoff flap setting.

Entry of a value after takeoff speeds are entered removes the speeds and displays the scratchpad message
TAKEOFF SPEEDS DELETED.

ACCEL HT displays the acceleration height in feet above the origin airport. VNAV commands acceleration at
this altitude or at first flap retraction.

Default value is from the AMI.

Valid flight crew entries are from 400 to 9999 feet above the origin airport elevation.


I usually use 15/1000. So in other words, I just enter 15 (15 degrees flaps) and leave 1000 feet as it is and it works fine.
