Which lever position would you use for cruise or holding?

For cruise or holding, the appropriate lever position is config/lever position 0. This position indicates a neutral or "in the cruise" setting, which allows for optimal engine performance and maintains the aircraft's speed and altitude in stable conditions.

When the lever is in position 0, it typically signifies that the aircraft is not in a configuration for takeoff, landing, or descending, but is instead set to fly efficiently at cruising altitude. This helps to ensure that fuel efficiency is maximized, which is essential during prolonged periods of flight at a specific altitude.

Understanding the different lever positions is crucial for effective aircraft operation, as each position corresponds to specific phase operations in flight. In contrast, the other lever positions are often associated with configurations for different flight phases, such as takeoff, landing, or descent adjustments, which are not suitable for maintaining cruise or holding scenarios.
