April 27, 20197 yr When doing an autoflight ( PMDG-737 ) I get message RESET MCP ALTITUDE. I do this but prior to landing ( about 10 nm before the rwy ) I get the same message again ! Question: what should I do ? What is the reason for getting this second message. ? Usually I just ignore the message and the landing is ok. But to me it does not feel right ! Thank you Paul 12 Herbert Werni
April 28, 20197 yr That message comes up if the calculated VNAV descent is approached and MCP hasn't been reset to a lower altitude. The aircraft is calculating an idle thrust glide at ECON speed from cruise into a slow down at 10,000ft and another approaching the Centre fix for the approach selected. A continuous descent approach. Anytime you are reaching a constraint and a lower level is not selected on the MCP, the message appears to prompt you. Hope that helps. Mark Harris. Aged 54.
