Airbus Voice Control or Airbus Button Control... which do you prefer?

Was the next Flight Level already dialed into the autopilot altitude window?

Please include the CVR log.

 

As far as I recall, yes the FO set the next level but wouldn't set the V/S.

 

The CVR log doesn't show much:-

 

Current Task: Creating the Critical Section Object... SUCCEEDED!
Windows 7  Service Pack 1
[unknown Flight Simulator]
Current Task: Creating the ISpRecognizer object... SUCCEEDED!
Microsoft Speech Recognizer 8.0 for Windows (English - US)

Hi Iain,

 

My mistake.  That's not the CVR log. :blink:

 

The real CVR log will be re-implemented in the next update.

 

 

As for the V/S:  Are you positive the correct speech phrase was used as per the manual?

 

Also note, the Airbus VS selector is a bit complex.  You still need to meet the conditions to be able to manually select a VS.  Try manually if you can't set it via voice to ensure you're meeting the conditions.

Hi Bryan, when the FO ignored me I intervened and was able to set it manually. However, I'm prepared to accept that at the moment I gave the command I may not have had the conditions absolutely correct. This is what I meant about the Airbus seeming to be more complex to fly.

 

I'll spend some time getting more familiar with the Airbus and if it happens again I'll let you know.
