Disconnect on approach

[jcallum 6]

I was disconnected from the crj app on appraoch. Copilot put the gear down ok but going to flaps 20 or 30 I got the disconnect. I have my flaps bound to my TQ6 throttle quadrant so could this be the problem? What is the solution?

I'm sorry, can you please elaborate on "I was disconnected".

What disconnected?

Well I got a message in the FS2Crew window that I had been disconnected from the app which was the CRJ app.

I think you closed the panel.

Don't think so. Could it be that the copilot and I were both adjusting the flaps at the same time?

I had a complete flight this morning and everything worked fine. The CRJ flow takes a little time to get used to but I am getting the hang of it now. Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure.  If you can ever reproduce it, let me know.

Haven't disconnected since that one time. Fingers crossed. CRJ is working great. The only thing I haven't been able to trigger is the flap retraction after takeoff. After 1000' agl I say "climb sequence" but he doesn't do it. Will keep trying.

You need to accelerate a little bit, to met the speed+flaps conditions, because the FO retracts the flaps depending on the speed you have, then you will hear it will pass thru flaps8,1,up in moments, but if you keep same speed it won't do much.

Ok. Thanks. Will try that.
