PERV VNAV Unavailable

Good morning,

 

I dont know if I missed a step here, but I am getting a constant PERV VNAV Unavailable message on my MCDU. It appears to be flying correctly and i tore through the manuals while enroute to see what was what and I was unable to see what I missed. Based on this message, is there an obvious step I missed? Thank you.

**Side note if there is a RTFM comment out there, could you at least be so kind to tell me which PDF file to look at? Thank you**

Terminal Reality Fly 1 and 2. Sierra Pro Pilot, Looking Glass/Eidos/Electronic Arts Flight Unlimited I, II and III, Laminar Research X-Plane 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, FS Aerofly 2, Lockheed Martin Perpar3D 2.X, 3.X, 4.X and 5.X and Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020). Not to mention numerous combat simulators and games related to flight that I have played with over the years.

Like the real plane, you need a Route and at a minimum the PERF INIT page must be filled out.  After that, go to the TAKEOFF prompt 6R and it will tell you what your missing.

Copy that. I thought I had everything put in, but I will try your method for my next flight and see what transpires. I am almost positive its operator error on my part.

The FMC is not required to fly it.  However, it must be initialized prior to using the VNAV functions.

Same issue here...There is no altitude in the FMS after following the procedure ... (Pos Init, Route, Fp >>> Exe, Perf Init Cruise Altitude, Take Off, Sid, Runway and so on ...).

The only altitudes that appear are those linked with Sid, Star, Runway Approaches, after that nothing about speed/altitude, just "---/------"

Seems something is wrong ?

Thank you and Regards,

Be advised with crz FL<100 the FMS could have problems computing the predictions and give the aforementioned message.

Please ensure you select minimum CRZ FL 100 for now. We’ll look into the issue.

Thank you for the advise but I flew 3 or 4 times with CRZ FL=330 or 340...I hope you succeed in solving this issue

If you got that message above FL100 you probably omitted one of the required fields in the PERF INIT page.

Works !

1/I updated Navigraph

2/I was wrong about the Fuel/Sched field...For To Fuel from the loadsheet=12918, I had entered the wrong number 129.0/x in the Fuel/Sched field !:blink:

So, I guess the issue is more this rather than updated Navigraph...:laugh:

Thanks for drawing my attention to Perf Init page.

Regards,
