LAX RWY 25R CHANGE PROCEDURE​
Condition: FMS loaded for 24L, and on intial contact with ground at C9/C8/C7/BOX you are assigned 25R:
  1. Take 5 seconds to switch RWY in FMS,
  2. Take 5 more seconds to load and display TO data for 25R (Assuming FO sent for both, and noted RWY differences before hand).
  3. Read "XXXX no change.. set/set" a few times.
-END OF PROCEDURE-
​
*NOTE: Under normal conditions this procedure should take about 500ft to accomplish, or about 30 seconds. If more work is necessary, the CA should taxi slower. If still not ready after switching over to tower, you are #1 for takeoff AND told to taxi full length or are expecting a F intersection departure, inform ATC you'll need a minute at the end or need to pull over.

Yep and this is how it goes, I've only had to ask for a minute once. Box is pretty close to 25R especially when you're #1... But I still prefer if 25R is always loaded because as said before you have a long time to change it if you get north complex. Just seems like the better way to start out but the joy of being an FO is not every CA agrees with you... But with lax you never know how they're going to decide to balance and especially out of the box I feel like they really don't want to send you north if B and C are backed up regardless of your departure. You're going the wrong way... It's all good tho. The takeoff change check was definitely put in place due to people taking off with the wrong departure etc, and it shouldn't happen now.
 
C'mon only is pilots could spend so much time arguing about a simple thing.. I digress
The t/o change check is simple to get done quickly if you've done it a couple times before. If I can get it done between the Eagles Nest and 25R I think most of you can also. And like everyone said, if there's an issue slow down and take an extra minute.

On another note I think engine failure procedure should be briefed with that as well.
 
I think today was the rollout of the new DLNet page,so that could explain it not working. I'll have to try in a second.

Still getting email via the Outlook app and DLNet is working,albeit it seems a lot more clumsy than it was before.
