Pilot error but the QRH saved my....you know

Featured Replies

Really dumb move on my part. Setup a normal flight and everything seemed ok but when I went to takeoff I noticed I only had FD on the PFD. Should have rejected the takeoff but in a typical virtual pilot stroke of genius I took off anyway. I could not for the life of me engage the A/P and noticed as well that the co-pilot PFD and map display were blank or showing no display just yellow ATT (no idea why I did not see that on the ground). I tried moving the right side to ATT but it did not help at all.

 

After fiddling around with trying to climb out and get the fcom and qrh up and keep things steady while looking away (I could have really used a FO on this flight), I eventually got the to correct page of the QRH and found out that if one side is not aligned in the air, you need to put the IRS on ATT and key words "fly level and at constant speed for 30 seconds". After I did this everything aligned, the A/P came on and I was on my way.

 

I guess next time I notice something is not right on the ground I better stop and figure it out. Lesson learned.
