LNAV Overshoot

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

I wondered if anyone else was seeing the same issue as me. It seems on almost every turn, the LNAV path is being overshot, and I end up between 0.3-0.5 L/R of the path. Some of the turns were less than 10º and it still happened.

 

Now my route isn't very straight, and I know it's a big aircraft so I have some lenience but I wanted to know if it's just something I've done or something in the 772.

 

 

Flight plan: EGLL SID MID UN615 XAMAB UL612 OGULO UQ223 MILPA UM730 KOGAS UQ225 VEVAR UM623 PELOS UM731 OSMAR UM733 TANIT UM731 TUC UA411 MON UG727 ELJEM UM738 SFX DCT DTTJ

Every single turn?

 

If it's just tight turns in the terminal environment, LNAV isn't perfect, and manual speed intervention is necessary even in the real plane.

 

At altitude, you're going to have a little deviation on the turns.  A screenshot would be very helpful.

I can go one better than that:

I think she is performing quite well, enroute RNP is 2.0 and you have 0.2 error with a 60kt crosswind that is probably varying.

Like I said, it was more a "wonder" if this was expected, not a complaint/bug report against  the aircraft.  ^_^

Awesome.  If only people asked for support like you...

 

Looks normal to me!

Well, working in IT Support in the real-world and beta testing in FSX hopefully gives me a better idea of what's needed  B)  :lol:

My favorite IT support joke is the guy that calls asking where the ANY key is on the keyboard.

:lol:  We get the occasional (and, unfortunately, sometimes serious) calls asking this. Best I saw was a Dell tablet asking me to press F1 to continue  :lol:
