Isn’t there some sort of reset settings button when you start a new flight? Like is there any setting set by the previous crew that should be left as is by the new crew?
- lmilcin 5y agoNope. The crew is responsible for verifying anything and everything important for the flight safety. A button like that would be pretty dangerous. Just imagine somebody pressed this in an emergency... In general flying a plane is already complex. You need to be able to understand what is going to happen to the plane when you press a button. Something that resets a lot of other settings would have extremely complex consequences.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoMost of the switches are physical selectors and dials that aren't motorized so it would be impossible to reset those. And a partial reset would probably be even more confusing.
- p_l 5y agoThe flight computer isn't controlled by physical dials, and that's where you do pre-flight calculations (including the V1 and V2 speeds for given takeoff mass)
