MCP gauge freeze!

Featured Replies

Hi In a flight between ESMS and ESSA today I encountered a total MCP freeze. None of the lights or buttons reacted to my commands. But I could see in the ND/PFD that the right A/P mode was armed. After closing the main panel window and opening it again, with SHIFT+2 twice, everything was fine and dandy!Anyone else? Maybe already discussed (though I haven't seen it)?

Hi Anthony>Use our panel switcher to go to zoom panel, ie don't use shift 3Hmmm, I would love to. But as I run on dual screens with the Overhead, Throttle and FMC undocked I have run into some small problems with your panle switcher. When switching between Main, Zoom, Captain's view or Landing panel the undocked Overhead panel on my second monitor closes. And when using the panel switcher to actually close the Overhead panel, whatever Main panel I have in my primary monitor disappears.Is this something you can do something about? Or am I alone about running on dual monitors?Thanks in advance

Hi Girls and GuysActually that was what I did until I discovered the handy window reset (Have to remember to write that in my POM). Asking my FO to reset any circuit breakers for the MCP while I took care of the flight. :DHepp
