FBW A320 fms departing/arriving runways missing

Featured Replies

Hello,

I am not able to select my departing and arriving runways in the fms because they aren't listed. Any suggestions why?

Thanks!!

Edited by Richard Jacks

There are a lot of runways in the world. It would be helpful to know which airport!

In addition to sd_flyer's question, are you looking on the flight plan page, clicking on the departure or arrival airport, then on Departures or Arrivals?  Airbus FMCs are different from Boeings.

yes, some of the runways are there, but not all of them and of course, I was assigned to the departing and arriving runways that were not. This happened at KDA KMIA and KMCO, probably something I am doing wrong.

I did fly KMIC several times and seems all runways were there. Which runways are missing KMIA? Did you scroll all way down in MCDU?

when you say scroll, you mean "next page"?

Here is an example. You can only see top 3 runways in the list. You have to scroll down using up arrow to see the rest. That is how MCDU work in airbus, it's different from Boeing FMC where you use "pages"

Here is what happens when I use arrows (up/down). You see more choices of runways and approach types

Don't feel bad, we all been there. Once you learn MCDU functionality and operation everything fall in place!

Yes, I still never know whether I need the up/down arrows or the right/left arrows (and some pages are only available at certain times, like on the ground).

I had good practice with FF and Toliss 319/320/321! I used to feel as  total word not allowed with Airbus MCDU LOL
