757 CAT3 Autoland Problem.

[Guest Dashik1]

Hi Now I might not be the sharpest pilot out there but you can call me amazed when 50' from touchdown at EGLL form LFPG on RWY 27R the aircraft did a sudden violent roll to the right! I only just managed to recover and land but had to call the Vatsim Emergency Vehicles out as I came to a stop to the right of the runway and stuck in the MUD!Surely in good weather (AS6) this aircraft should be capable of a full CAT3 Autoland online with Vatsim? Or did I screw up?

Hopefully someone else can give you some better help, but that was my experience.

Thanks for the reply, Its not a moan lol just an observation I'll try it again later.To be fair the Vatsim ATC controller did kick a guy for sitting on the runway doing nothing and being unresponsive as I was on short finals so yes, its possibly a glitch from that.In anycase i'm sure its just a minor prob. I'm VERY happy with the aircraft and think its well worth the

Turn OFF Wake T simulation in Active Sky.

[Guest simonm]

I had exactly the same issue!!I did set the decision height for 200ft - thought this could have beenn the problem - did you set decision height?It caught me out as well - I killed all onboard and got offline ASAP due to being very red faced!!!

[Guest Dashik1]

Well the PSS 777 just did the same thing! I flew the same route and came in for a Cat3 Autoland on 27R at EGLL. The whole approach smooth as you like then the callouts start 50,40,30 etc and at the same time the aircraft rolls to the right and the wing strikes the ground and BOOM!I have the V2 patch installed and was flying online (vatsim) with AS6 with the latest update etc.Land 3 was displayed in the EFIS along with Rollout and Flare!Bit peeved TBH! I'll try turning off wake Turbulance in AS6 but there was no other aircraft at or near RWY 27R for about 20 mins before me at 1:10 am monday morning! So surely the turbulance should not affect it?Anyway I'll try it tommorrow night and if it works ok I'll post here!

I just flew the T7 all the way down into LA with no problems.

[Guest Knikolaes]

Try at other airports. It looks like this may be an AFCAD issue with that runway . . . I have had this happen before as well and it always turned out to be AFCAD or scenery related.I'll fly into EGLL on a CAT III first thing when i get off work (8 hours from now). I have ASv6 as well. can you paste here what the conditions were at the time so i can do a precise try at your conditions? The only difference is i will not be on AVSIM as I do all my flying offline with 100% AI and Ultimate traffic installed.I did do successful CAT III's into KDEN with no issues, and amazingly i did a CAT III into KPUB -- gotta love FS -- KPUB isn't even CAT III Capable LOL. in FS, though, an ILS is an ILS :-P

[Jeff Nielsen 1,385]

I'll try at SFO here in a sec also.I've never had the problem again after turning off wake t....other then that I don't what to tell you all.

[Jeff Nielsen 1,385]

Just tried it again and no problems.The only problems I ahve are with the Navdata not getting updated correctly in the FMC. The FMC says it has the correct dates but the procedures and data are outdated. Very weird.

[Guest NormanB]

Jeff,The navadata is the latest airac - ie airways and waypoints. SID & STARs however may be behind but thats down to a lack of updates available.

[Jeff Nielsen 1,385]

Hey Norm,I tried it both ways from the Navdata site with the current cycle which it says is avail for PSS add ons. I first tried just the AIRAC then I tried the AIRAC with a SID/STAR all in one file.In both cases the FMC recognized the correct data set but the actual data seems to be not taking (i.e it still says ROCKI3 instead of ROCKI4 for KDEN). Very weird, I've never seen that before.There's quite a bit of other strange happenings also, but I suspect it's due to the data itself.One of these days, I'll get around to buying and trying out the '57. I've just got around to the T7 now...ROFL. I'm way behind these days, but you know why. :-)

It was a lateral-directional departure from controlled flight, (first stage of a stall or spin). If your airspeed was correctly selected and maintained, one possible contributor might have been a low frame rate, disabling effective aircraft control of the autoflight system, during very short term deviation form desired parameters.I have seen this in the following PSS aircraft, even at VREF + 10 with calm air:a. AB pro (319, 320, 321)b. AB 330c. FS 2004 B777I'd guess they all might be using similar equations of motion/ stall algorithms.

[Guest Dashik1]

Right, Off to try again, I did a quick experiment earlier with, as was suggested earlier in the thread, the AS6 Wake Turbulence switched OFF. 757 approach to rwy06 Edinburgh EGPH. This appeared to sort the problem so I will try again with the 777 and if I get time I will also use the 757.Jsut so you know I am otherwise Very happy with the PSS aircraft and consider them good value for money.The landing problem is the only problem I've had.
