Hi Captains.I was flying

Are you talking about some form of RNAV approach? It could be that you were a little slow for the turns, so the aircraft turns tighter than the LNAV path indicated on the ND. I am clutching at straws a little to be honest, as I am trying to visualize what you mean...If you repeat it, grab a screenshot of the situation (or two) and post them...ThanksAndrew

RNAV, well, I dont even know,sorry. :( If you tell me what that is, maybe I can answer. It was an ILS aproach, but neither of the GS or the LOC had locked when it happened.I was actually pretty slow for the turns, i was established on VAPP speed right before it happenedI had planned for a approach and VORlanding right before, but I neede to canceled that. Maybe it has something to do with that?I should do the same landing one more time, but not the route... :(

If you have 2 90 degree turns in the route, I can see where the plane would just fly between them. Remember that unless it's an overfly waypoint, you'll start your turn a little before reaching the fix to minimize the overshoot on the new route leg. If they are close together (as in the terminal environment), the plane didn't just skip the points, it just started a normal turn, and the points were close enough to be sequenced- that's why it looks like they were ignored.Paul
