March 5, 201313 yr Hi Bryan, fellas, something I've not encountered before, probably because I have always initialised LNAV after TO, but I have noticed when I order HDG select in the NGX, after gear up, for some reason it does not initialise. I effectively have to press the HDG select button manually. Any help appreciated, cheers...

March 5, 201313 yr Did you set wing level or hdg select at take off option? Page 55 at NGX introduction document: •After Takeoff – Wings level/HeadingSelect: This option allows you to decide if the airplane will maintain a wings-level attitude, or turn to follow the heading bug immediately after takeoff. Most airlines use the Wings-Level option. Page 4.20.11 in FCOM Vol.2 of NGX manual: Automatic Flight Takeoff and Climb Takeoff is a flight director only function of the TO/GA mode. Flight director pitch and roll commands are displayed and the autothrottle maintains takeoff N1 thrust limit as selected from the FMC. The autopilot may be engaged after takeoff. [Option - Flight director commands wings level on takeoff] Both F/Ds must be ON to engage the takeoff mode prior to starting the takeoff. The F/D takeoff mode is engaged by pushing the TO/GA switch on either thrust lever. The FMAs display FD as the A/P status, TO/GA as the pitch mode, and blank for the roll mode. [Option - Flight director commands HDG SEL on takeoff] Both F/Ds must be ON to engage the takeoff mode prior to starting the takeoff. The F/D takeoff mode is engaged by pushing the TO/GA switch on either thrust lever. The FMAs display FD as the A/P status, TO/GA as the pitch mode, and HDG SEL as the roll mode.

March 5, 201313 yr are you making sure that it is set for AP mode and not manual mode?

March 18, 201313 yr Could it be you aren't on an intercept heading?<br /><br /><br />Remy Mermelstein<br />777-300 FS Pilot Quote "The Skies the limit" Remy Mermelstein 777-300 FS Pilot, Deltava P3Dv4.1, ASP4, UTLive, ReShade + URP + PTA, All settings max'd, i7 Core Extreme @ 5.2gHz, GTX 1080, CyberpowerPC Gaming Laptop, 500GB SSDx2, 32GB DDR4 RAM.
