August 18, 200916 yr 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 David Pedder

August 18, 200916 yr 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
August 18, 200916 yr Author 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 EllisonThank 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 David Pedder
August 18, 200916 yr You're not using Active Sky by any chance, are you? Sounds like a wake turbulance event to me.Cheers, Chris D I do not have a signature. Why are you reading this?
