VNV Issue on TBM 900

Hi everyone

I am having an issue with the VNAV function on the TBM 900. I mocked a flight from Steveo1 from Opa Loka to Miami with a decent to 8000 ft over DEKKA. I entered the 8000 Feet for that waypoint and it showed up in Magenta on the PFD by the Alt and I also set the preselect to 8000 as well. I armed the VNV and VPTH showed up in white on the PFD as well. It let me know the 1 minute until TOP of decent BUT when the Vertical guidance hits center it does not capture it and goes right through. Am I not entering something for this plane or is something wrong. I have watched You Tube videos on the set up and I seem to be doing everything properly.

 

Thanks

Ken

It needs to be armed within 5 minutes of TOD.  Longer then 5 it won't activate.

This has been my experience.

Thanks Groundmagnet I will give that a try and see if it fixes the issue. If this is the case I wonder if they could fix this in one of their bug issues and get that updated and who a person could contact on the forum.

As far as I'm aware, this is how it works on the real thing.
