SWTOC

SWTOC: Switch on/off Top of Climb (ToC) guidance logic

Switch on or off the top of climb guidance logic (climb as early as allowed by altitude constraints in flight plan and as fast as allowed by performance) As this logic is normally used by the FMS of an airliner it is ON by default, but can be switched ON or OFF with the SWTOC command. When switched off, the aircraft will start climbing with a vertical speed aiming to arrive at the next altitude constraint further down the flight plan. (Intermediate waypoints without altitude constraints are irrelevant and not considered in the VNAV logic for altitude.)

Usage:

Arguments:

Name	Type	Required	Description
