Maybe your speed is quite slow. It happened the same thing to my 757 too. But there are no problems with my aircraft now Smiley( except my GPWS warning. but not a big deal ). Grin

I would make sure that you check-mark the box beside Disable turbulence and thermal effects on aircraft found in ALT > Options > Settings > Display > Weather . This might be the cause of the problems with the autopilot.

Hello All,
Ok, so I can work everything else on the 757, I have no problems anywhere except...

I can't get the autoland to engage.

The APP light just follows the localiser and we fly over at whatever altitude we intercepted it at, it doesn't respond to the GS.

I've tried this at several airports in many different circs but can't solve it.

Any ideas please?

Paul

Use SHIFT+7 to bring up the CDU. Then press the RAD NAV button. Look at the entry level with LSK 4L (Line Select Key 4 Left), and you should see something like 110.10/335PARK. The 110.10/335 is the ILS frequency and RWY heading. This should activate when you are between 20 and 10 nm from the airport, but sometimes it doesn't. All you need to do is click on LSK 4L (copy the ILS/HDG into the scratchpad), then click it a second time to "paste" the ILS/HDG back into there. It is then appears like this: 110.10/335M, which means it is ready to capture the ILS/HDG.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick reply!

The ILS activates, i.e. the glideslope bar and HSI all come to life correctly, as does the DME.

I can then fly the approach manually, as I normally do when the GS kicks in.

I just can't get the autopilot to fly the approach.

Thanks,

Paul

Are you sure you don't have GPS engaged.You need to be in NAV mode.
for the G/S to capture

Stall after A/P engagement (757-2)

Hi,

It is turning right and then left and starting to stall after every takeoff (when I push the CMD A).

Read some topic about this then I controlled the CG and flapsettings. And I guess settings are true. (3,6 trim - 5 Flap setting) (And Thrust Mode is To/GA)

I am really not finding out the problem...

Thanks for your help,

Burak

I have had the 757 captain for FSX for awhile now, and the aircraft works fine. All but the autopilot. I do everything correct and it still won't engage. I have read about this and looked through the KB and nothing has worked. Anyone have some ideas?

Last night I completed a flight from La Guardia, NY, to Cleveland, OH, (KLGA to KCLE), flying the US Air 757, and did an auto landing on RWY 24L, which was successful.  I had to go around on the first try because I had selected the wrong ILS frequency on the NAV radio, but the second attempt worked.  I set up the IRS, which took quite awhile to respond correctly.  Whether this is necessary I am not sure.  There is good documentation in the CS-757 manual, Part 2, on using the IRS to allow the normal operational mode of the NAV mode, which may be helpful.  There are also two tutorial flights for the 757.  The CS-757 is a great aircraft, and I hope you can get the autopilot issue resolved.
