Title: "AUTOPILOT" EICAS message on landing Post by CaptLE on Jun 6th, 2019 at 7:39pm
Hi,
When performing an ILS approach and disconnecting to fly the landing manually, if the touchdown zone is missed, the EICAS message "AUTOPILOT" and an aural beeper is triggered. I assume this is because the aircraft has passed the end of the glideslope. The G/S annunciator on the FMA is crossed with an amber horizontal line, as per the manual on Part 2, Page 95: "An amber horizontal line is drawn through the appropriate autopilot pitch or roll mode annunciation when a flight mode fault is detected." I have watched several videos of 757 landings with the ILS G/S signal visible on the PFD, but have not heard the beeper or seen the EICAS message. Please inform if this is considered a true 'flight mode fault' or should G/S remain annunciated normally throughout the landing, thus not requiring this EICAS message or beeper? Thanks |
