DIR TO and HOLDING on FMC

Featured Replies

Hi!Status: FS2002, PIC767 with update for FS2002.I have read the manual carefully.I have two problems.1) Flying with FMC on FPL works OK, I'm getting a solid blue track.When I want to use DIR TO functionit don't give me a direct coarse to the selectedwaypoint. It only highlights the whole FMC-FPL with a dotted white line witch I'm already following. When I push "execute" the FMC continue on the FPL.In other words I don't get a direct coarse in DIR mode.2)When trying to exit a HOLDING the FMC don't continueon the FPL it just keep on turning even though I have armed the exit and pushed the excute button.Hope you have some hints for me!have a good flight! / orjan-ESSB

Both problems sound related to me. Are you in LNAV mode? If your in HDG SEL or HDG HOLD, the flight director is not going to command the turn programmed in the FMC.If you are in LNAV, do you have the autopilot engaged? Obviously, if you're hand flying, you need to make the turns yourself.And one more question: solid BLUE track? Sounds like an inactive route. On Boeings, you follow the MAGENTA route....Jon (KSEA)
