Title: Can't enable autopilot
Post by vgbaron on Jun 18^th, 2018 at 1:15am

Took off on a flight and when I went to put the MCP in command mode, the buttons had no effect. The click spots were working but the a/p did not activate. I had no errors or warning. Everything else was functioning as expected just no autopilot.
I suspect it might be something I forgot but can't seem to see what.
Is there something I missed or could it just be an aircraft initialization issue.
This is using HF3.

Thanx,
Vic

I don't have the plane yet but I'm guessing you didn't program the FMC. The autopilot won't know what to do if you don't so it doesn't engage.

I had programmed the flight but it's possible I made a mistake.
I'll try the flight again. Never had the problem with this a/c before but I was rushing a bit.

Thanx,
Vic
