Landing aids: the green flight path vector (a small aircraft symbol) shows where you are really going. On final, put it on the dashed -3 line and on the runway's aiming bar, and keep the magenta ILS diamonds centred. With APP armed, fly the path vector into the small guidance circle. Outside views show a PAPI and ILS box on approach.
Take-off: TOGA until about 1,500 ft, then pull the levers back to the CLB detent. The autothrottle never commands more than CLB. After a landing the report offers a 20 second replay from the tower and chase cameras.
