Since the 800/900 upgrade, I find that the FMC doesn't switch form CRZ to DECENT mode on the panel.The decent is commanded at TOD, and flies the path fine, but the display continues to display CRZ.Is this something I mihgt be doing wrong?Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

Huh? Are you talking on the EICAS? There is no such thing as DESCENT on there.....Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J.

Gav a screen shot or two would be valuable pls.Rgds,Brad

Sheesh! You're right.Why was I under the impression CRZ changed to DEC on the EICAS? Kinda makes sense that it WOULD though, doesn't it?Gavinhttp://www.interprom.com/gavhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpgSpellink doesn't count!!

This happens on my setup also. I don't let it bother me. It does go from CLB to CRZ but not to DES. That is all I found though and believe me I fly this product almost 100% of the time I fly now. All the other appropriate functions happen as expected for me so I will live with it for now. Ken

Ken Maybe you missed the meaning of my post, there is no DESCENT on there as there is none on the real NG, trust me ;-)Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J.

Nope, I got it, I was just letting him know its not on my system either and I don't let it bother me. It is a little strange though. Thanks, Ken
