Aussie, What am I doing wrong?

...

I click Align in all 3 columns and wait till the light in each goes out, then I switch to NAV in all 3. Then the 3 Align start flashing, is that normal. When in flight while I'm straigt and level and at cruising speed I try to switch on Alt/Hold and Heading/Hold and they don't work, the plane usually goes into a bank and then dive?


Your IRS isn't aligned. The flashing "ALIGN" lamps indicate a fault.

Try this:

1) APU = ON ; Engines = OFF
2) Set IRS from "OFF" to "ALIGN" (all 3 columns). Wait for it to set.
3) Go to CDU/FMC. Choose "POS INIT". Copy your last known LAT/LONG to the scratch pad by hitting the button on the TOP RIGHT and then paste that in where it says something like "SET IRS POS"
4) Now - switch IRS from "ALIGN" to "NAV"

You should no longer get the flashing ALIGN lights. Now it should be set!
