MD11 tutorial

Featured Replies

I have worked my way through the mD11 tutorial and it seems togo well except at the end.It starts to descend at the correct position and continues to the sid.It then gets the glide slope and the localliser and is indicated on the FMA.However dual land is not indicated but the aircraft follows the glide slopecorrectly.When it is very near to landing a loud voice repeats -AUTOPILOT -AUTOPILOT but I land with a struggle! What went wrong?I have done this twice being very careful to follow the guide.One other point, in each case I saved the filght at cruise and continued to destination from that point. When I did re-load fromthat point everything seemed(?) to be ok.Any ideas on this?Thanks,David Pedder

Do you have weather conditions,possibly crosswinds exceeding the autoland specs?If so try it with a fair weather theme.Ron

Maybe the gpws is disconnecting the autopilot - any other alarms?Flying too fast on the approach perhaps? Not pressing Apprland button?Maybe altering trim? Pressing the autopiolot disengage only once?John Ellison

Thank you for both replies.I have flown it exactly(as far as I know) according to the tutorial instructionswith no changes to weather etc.I will fly it again and take careful note of any other alarms.David Pedder

A 2D screenshot would be help us diagnose the problem if it happens again.Paul

You're not using Active Sky by any chance, are you? Sounds like a wake turbulance event to me.Cheers, Chris D
