April 15, 20179 yr I've just purchased and installed the 777. Everything works just fine with the exception of when I land and turn off the A/P a "Horn" starts to blow and I can't seem to turn it off. This happens also when I'm on approach and take over manually or autoland and disconnect the the A/P. So obviously I'm missing something. Robert Catherall

Whatever you used to turn the autopilot off will also turn the "Horn" off if pressed again. So it is one press to turn the A/P off and a second press of the same button to turn off the warning. See page 87 and 88 of the Introduction Manual for more on the subject. Michael Cubine
April 16, 20179 yr Commercial Member Robert, I remember this issue from when the 777 was released. It was in the documentation, and the fix is available via the CDU Setup. Since it's been several years, I had to Google "PMDG Autopilot Horn" to find the answer - immediate answer too rather than waiting for a response to a post. My very best wishes.

April 16, 20179 yr Author Thank you for directing me the PMDG Instruction Manual. I found the information on Page 44 as follows: "I turned off the autopilot, but I can’t silence the alarm: You need to press the autopilot disconnect button on your joystick (or the Z key) twice in order to silence the alarm. Make the first press, wait a second or two and then press it again. If you double-press too fast, it won’t silence. Always use the disconnect button, don’t use the disconnect “bar” on the MCP – you’ll have the siren constantly going off if you do." Thank you again for your assistance. Bob Robert Catherall
