September 28, 201411 yr Hi, My FSX is not working, and I just had forgotten this on Airbus: If we disconnect A/P but not the A/THR, the plane will manage speed in speed mode. But will it still manage the FMS speeds or will it only manage our last speed? Thanks Airbus A330-203
September 29, 201411 yr Pretty sure speed mode only manages speed in the MCP window. You'd have to be using VNAV to manage FMC speed. Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.

But will it still manage the FMS speeds or will it only manage our last speed? Thanks The word 'Managed' means the FMGS is taking care of things. A/P & A/THR are separate, disconnecting the A/P with A/THR engaged will not change whatever mode A/THR was in prior to disconnect. You must select either Managed or Selected Speed. If you switch off the flight directors the A/THR will revert to Selected Speed. Rob Prest
September 29, 201411 yr Author 1) Thanks, so it follow the FMGS till the end even if disconnect the A/P, right? 2) How are the FMGS and A/P communicating? With signals? So the FMGS is sending signals to the A/P and if we push the knob, it will keep locking each and every signal? 3) Are the GPS IRS/INS signals sent to the FMGS? Thanks a lot FLEX Airbus A330-203

Thanks a lot FLEX Sorry but I am not getting into all of that with you again. You have shown all of us here that you are not ready to learn the more complex aspects of the aircraft. The topic was 'A simple question on A/THR'. I've given you the answer. Rob Prest
September 29, 201411 yr Author Ok. But there is still a realtion between my questions and A/THR- A/P... Airbus A330-203
September 30, 201411 yr You have shown all of us here that you are not ready to learn the more complex aspects of the aircraft. Exactly. Like wanting to SCUBA dive with out learning to swim first. Regards,
October 2, 201411 yr I suggest these books -- http://www.utem.com/shop/ Likewise, you can try and simulate and experiment your situations with the Jeehell FMGS. Soarbywire - Avionics Engineering
