March 11, 200620 yr Hello,During a short flight between SBGR and SBGL, two big Brazilian airports in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, I noticed that PMDG 737NG did not follow a hold track introduced in the FMC and, worse, lost the approach track completely.The flight plan was followed perfectly until the beginning of the SBGL approach, where it has a hold on waypoint CAX.However, few miles before the hold entry point, the 737NG made a sudden curve to the right, the contrary side of the hold, and followed a straight-line, moving away from the approach track. The FMC did not command any more the airplane. I repeated many times this flight, and the problem occurred in all of them.

March 12, 200620 yr Randy,Thanks for your reply.My PMDG files are totaly updated.There is someting else causing the glitch, but I can't figure what it is.Valter
March 13, 200620 yr Hi, you can also try to enter the holding manually with HDG. If you are on Track activate LNAV. This Procedure works well for me in situations where the 737 wont enter the holding correctly. Jan-Paul
