I'm flying the Tutorial 2 trip from EHAM to LOWI and all was going well until turning to 230 at AB.

Then I had a problem following the instructions in the Tutorial.

 

On page 118, it says:-

 

"...Press DEP ARR and select the LOWI ARRIVALS page. Select Runway 08, which clears out the LOC/DME EAST procedure. We’re doing this because we don’t want the missed approach procedure for runway 26 to be in the FMC in the event of a go-around. This isn’t entirely realistic, but the Navigraph navdata does not contain a procedure for the circle to land’s missed approach.

 

"Press LSK 3L to copy RW08 and then press LSK 1L to enter a direct to. Then enter the extended runway centerline course, 079 into the LSK 6R DIR INTC field. etc."

 

Here is what the FMC shows me when I select the LOWI ARRIVALS page:-

 

 

- which is OK. But when I take the next step, "Select Runway 08", instead of being able to "Press LSK 3L to copy RW08 and then press LSK 1L to enter a direct to." I get this page:-

 

 

- which gives me a list of STARs on the left side. So there is nowhere at LSK3L to copy RW08 and enter a 'Direct To'.

 

Do you think I've made an mistake somewhere previously that causes this error to occur? Perhaps I should go back to the saved flight,"Before top of descent" and try it again. :(

Try checking out the "pinned" topic at the top of this forum.

Thanks Michael!

 

Why didn't I see that?!
