How to ... AUTOPILOT. The only thread. (Read 230166 times)

	Yeah, everything was set up correctly in the VNAV page. I flew again today and didn't even engage the auto throttle. I just handled the throttle manually. I engaged VNAV and LNAV and the plane climbed beautifully. However, once I reached the cruise altitude, I disengaged the VNAV and engaged the SPD hold button with .80 programmed in the display. Once again, the engines dropped to 50% and then slowly climbed to about 80%. My mach setting kept dropping with no change in throttle. Once the mach hit about .60 and I saw that the AP wasn't going to do anything, I disengaged the SPD, re-engaged the VNAV and handled the cruising speed myself. Very frustrating. I never had this issue with the FS9 version. Any ideas on a button missed or setting that was programmed incorrectly?

	When I fly, I use VNAV all the time. In VNAV mode, the engines are controlled by the FMC. So when at altitude, leave VNAV on and try changing the speed setting in the CDU. If you turn of VNAV, you control ALTITUDE, VERTICAL SPEED and SPEED. I'll go for a flight and see how it goes. I'll get back to you with how it went. Mark

	I have just done a flight in the 757-200 from YMML to YSSY. I used LNAV for the climb, and it was a normal climb of between 2000 and 4000+ fpm. Once I reached my cruise altitude of FL380, I switch to SPD and set it for M.80. It worked fine. First it increased the throttle to reach M.80, and then the thottles move back forth a little bit until it had adjusted to hold M.80. Then I entered .800 in the FMC (VNAV CRZ) and the result was the same as for using SPD without VNAV. So the result is that it is working normally for me. I'm not really sure why yours doesn't. Mark

	Ok. I'll try the climb with LNAV only and see what happens. Thanks for taking a "test flight" on my behalf.

	Hello, I seem to be having a little trouble witht the autoland. When I am on the ILS at minimums, I have LAND3 indicator on and FLARE and ROLLOUT on the attitude indicator screen. However, the plane does not flare and just smashes down on the runway at 800 feet per second. Any help?

	Although the 757 doesn't flare, mine doesn't hit the ground at 800fpm either. It's more like 500fpm. I just pull back on the joystick/yoke a bit just before landing to make it even less than that and I get a much smoother landing. Mark

	I also have autopilot problems with both 757 and 767. The AP simply dont work. It worked before, and when I got the 707 I used it for a while. But now I come back to use the 757 nothing works. Is there a known conflict between the 707 and the AP in the 757 and 767?? I did exactly as I usually do. Inserted the flight-plan, align IRS, TO runway, weights and balance, fuel, trim and so on. Now all of a sudden its no reaction. I engage the CMD and LNAV VNAV. They lite up like they are on but no engaging at all. Some times after TO, a few mins into the flight it suddenly goes ballistic, like the 757 all of a sudden think it is an extra300, trying aerobatic maneuvering. I tried to look for answer, here and in the manual. But nothing. I also reinstalled both planes three times. Uninstalling, removing the extra folders and installing again.

	I have the 707, 757 and 767 and the autopilot on the 757 and 767 are still working just like they should. I have done a few flights recently in all three planes, and they all work great. No A/P problems at all. So I would have to say there is no conflict. Mark

	Hi! The thing is I think my plane is on booze In altitude hold mode it keeps swinging up and down (some 100ft). So maybe someone knows how to stop it from drinking?

	Well depending on your weather engine its going to go a bit up and down, altho very slowly. Its perfectly normal. Say you fly around and the air pressure is at a certain level, then all of a sudden your weather engine updates and you get a totally different air pressure, the plane will have to climb / descent to reach the correct altitude again for that particular pressure
