Fenix A320 Autopilot Question

Featured Replies

I’ve got flight plan in FMC and everything set up for takeoff. I take off and cannot engage the autopilot. Is there a trick I’m missing. I’ve watched YouTube video’s and it appears so easy but mine will NOT engage. Any suggestions? Thanks guys

If your detents are not correct on throttles which may need to be adjusted in your sensitivity settings that could cause the AP not to engage - most likely thats the issue - that can be a pain to find right settings - make sure you bring the throttles back to CL when it tells you - then try AP

What your referring to is the calibrations settings in the FMC, correct.

This might help. It does apply to TCA, but it tells you how to calibrate

Hi John - I was referring to the sensitivity settings in sim not aircraft - but you are correct forgot Fenix has added FMC settings - I am waiting on new Honeycomb throttles and not able to do anything proper now - - just make sure your in CL before you hit the AP - did you get it working ?

Maybe this helps you - you did not mention what throttles you are using
