Ok  having  some  trouble  with  this  one,  i  got  my Navigraph linked  to my efb  no issues  there at all.   efb  keeps  saying  no flight plan,  mcdu  and  fenix  app  says  the  correct id  for  sim brief,  tried  starting  the  app first  and  than  sim  first no joy. My guess is  that iam  setting the  info wrong  in  sim brief itself.  I  Suspect  that iam  making  the  wrong  aircraft selection  since  i  simply  choosing  any  320  in the  aircraft selection

Im just about to delv into that...in the meantime, discovered this air-frame setting they suggest we use for simbrief...may be of help?

Are you using the pilot ID for sim brief? The reason i ask is i discovered awhile ago i'd actually had two Simbrief accounts before Navigraph took over, and i had a similar issue until i discovered i was inputing the wrong info.

iam  using  the  navigrapth id  since  iam  linked  tham  both

If you load the plan with engines running then it will load as SEC FLIGHT PLAN.

 

Aamir explained this on a different thread a few hours ago: apparently it’s true to life (although unfortunately it contradicts the step-by-step instructions he posted on here on Wednesday).

thanks  for  that  that  seemed  to work   although  its  still showing  my  navigraph id  in   sim  brief  so hopefully  won't  have  any  more  issues  now.  Time  to go spent  enough  looking  around  for this  issue 🙂

Yep. When I coincidentally ran into Airbus‘ Chief Training Pilot today I touched this topic and he mentioned that it belongs to Airbus‘ philosophy that once the engines are running you are not supposed to change any primary flightplan because you did the flight briefing already and - well - the engines are running already following the various preflight checks. Why would you want to make changes to your flightplan now. So the Airbus prevents these changes. Instead, secondary flightplan are either used for alternative arrivals/deviations in case of adverse weather or to have the next flight after the turnaround available 

That's great info. Thanks for passing it along Dad.

We should set up a section where we could ask some of the real pilots who hang out here questions through a third-party anonymously.

Nobody would know which pilot is answering, so they wouldn't be able to besmirch them,  or question their training and experience. Well, they're going to do that anyway but at least the rest of us wouldn't know who they were insulting.

Stumbled across this thread and I finally got an explanation as to why my simbrief flight plan didn't seem to get loaded in the FMGC even though I thought I was following the YT tutorials to the letter.  So thank you for this.
