TR3K Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 good evening, i can't activate APP mode when i am in HDG mode, i can only activate APP when i am in NAV mode. is this a real things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty260191 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I has a similar situation the other night and i think i ended up switching to V/L rather than FMS to get it in HDG mode in in FMS with LNAVon it will do it as long as you tune it. I dont think the aircraft auto tunes the ILS freq like the A320's but someone let me know if im wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaanAFCA98 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 The aircraft should auto tune the ILS freq. Make sure you have selected the v/l mode on the mcp. Otherwise it will stay in FMS mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty260191 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 No you can select PREV and it will switch from LNAV to LOC/GS on its own V/L is only needed for intercepting in a heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty260191 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 It can remain in FMD mode but it will allow the APP to take over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vali Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 I had an issue too. I was using HDG, then switched to V/L, LOC1 with green was displayed on the bottom of the PFD (HSI), ILS freq and course was set by me OK, but when I pressed the APP HDG was blinking and LNAV was under HDG, no LOC/GS mode... I landed using the green dots for ILS in the end...but I could not arm the LOC/GS, only LNAV was displayed under HDG even if I pressed V/L.

FeelThere_Vic Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Please post an FLT file right when it happens so we can re-create it. Thank you Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Vic I will do more flights and if it will happen again will post the FLT file. (The flight plane where I had issues was EDDM KIRDI2E KIRDI DCT MEDEL DCT STEIN DCT NARKA Z650 ATSOS ATSOS1F LRCL, ILS rwy 25) At EBILO the E195 lost also the LNAV, it made a wrong turn.

vali Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Yesterday I did some tests by doing patterns at EDDM, with LNAV mode (FMS1) to switch to LOC/GS and also with HDG mode to switch to LOC/GS (using V/L and radio NAV) and both were OK, I need to redo that trouble flight to see if it happens again. If yes, I will come back with the .flt file. I need to be sure that it was also not a mistake on my side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy holidays Vic Hello Vic, Thanks for the kind words, happy holidays too! I did the flight again, this time I've updated also the AIRAC from Navigraph to the actual cycle. Flight plan was: EDDM KIRDI3S KIRDI DCT MEDEL DCT STEIN DCT NARKA Z650 ATSOS ATSOS1E LRCL and then on cruise I switched to ATSOS1F (so from initial planned rwy 07 to the rwy 25, this I did also last time). Some notes: 1. when I planned the flight I noticed that one waypoint was at 1890nm from the previous one , this was automatically so inserted during selection of the arrival. I noticed that, after I deleted that waypoint and when I manually introduced it, was then fine. Look at AXUTA in the screenshot: 2. After AXUTA was corrected, the radial (282 degrees to intercept, D282I) was far away, see the screenshot below (the FL I corrected manually based on charts afterwards): 3. The problem this time was after EBILO at the radial intercept, see the screenshot below, it goes right ignoring LNAV (and also I attached the FLT files, e195_002 are before the waypoint, e195_003 are after turning). https://drive.google.com/open?id=1su317t6SSWfT5ObON1zQbJMu58D3dTeo Perhaps is something wrong with the definition. 4. I switched then to HDG mode, to do the arrival manually, then to V/L and APP and this time this was OK, landed in good conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Thank you. However we really need to see the FLT file to recreate it. It needs to be at the moment when by loading it we can see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Also, is it possible these things are specific to a single airport and maybe only the database has some problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
