It posted...5 times...

 

As for the question, are you sure it's not a BUFFET message and not a BUFFER message?

HI, nothing seemed to happen when i posted, hence five times, if it was BUFFET ALARM, then what.  Does it mean that food is on the table.

Haha - that would be nice.  No.  That means you're approaching a stall.  You're probably operating at an altitude that is too high for the weight, and/or at a speed that is too slow.

 

Buffet - in this case - is referring to aerodynamic turbulence:

Hi, thats probably it, getting it during take off.  I thought it might had to do with that sometimes the auto pilot or LNAV does not connect after take off.

tks for using the time to help.

Hi, just like to add that I was incidently on the ASNext forum and there was somebody that meant he had for high turbulance during flight, The answer was to tick off the ` enhanced high turbulance` setting,  so that might help me and maybe sombody else.

tks rohen
