June 12, 20223 yr For some reason, for the last 3 flights I have flown, I set the AP & ATHR but the airspeed bug stays at 220 knots even above 10k feet. I can manually change to a higher speed but I revert to the A/C's control it reverts to 220 knots. Why would that be? Thanks, Dave Edited June 12, 20223 yr by lehbird
June 12, 20223 yr Bob's suggestion apperas spot on, although I can't say for sure that's the cause... GEAR DOWN SPEEDS • VLE – 280 / 0.67 • VLO Extension – 250 / 0.60• VLO Retraction – 220 / 0.54 from one of the nice documents linked yesterday at another thrread: Airbus A320 checklists, normal procedures and limitations - Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) - The AVSIM Community Indeed VLO ( retract ) in the 320 is 220knot, so, it might be the case that your landing gear isn't retracted or, if you enabled some sort of fauilure, might be partially extended... Will test it myself ASAP.

June 12, 20223 yr Have you retracted your gear as jcomm mentioned? Sometimes it just extracts by it's own due to key bindings. Otherwise post some screeshots and check if speed is managed or not.

It was actually Bobsk8 who suggested it, and appears to be a plausible cause, but the OP has stated the gear was up, and cruising @ FL330 speed decays to 230 knot. 😕 Would like to know what MACH is being computed for that level / IAS?

June 12, 20223 yr Commercial Member an indicated airspeed of 230kts is quite plausible, depending on cost index. Are you looking at the speed on the PFD? (make sure you set a cost index in the MCDU too incidentally). Check your TAS and GS on the navigation display top corner. Remember IAS is not ground speed. - Jane Whittaker

June 12, 20223 yr 5 minutes ago, lehbird said: ok; lets see if this works.... Speed looks normal, your transponder is in standby, and you don't have altimeter setting adjusted on the right side. You are also in heading mode.. Edited June 12, 20223 yr by Bobsk8
June 12, 20223 yr A few more quirks to add to those pointed out by Bobsk8 above ... .) APU still ON ( shouldn't, specially @ FL330... ) .) FDs OFF - no active modes announced in your PFD, so autothrust really not working to "help you" - reverted to SPEED mode 🙂 - Open the speed window and check what value is being shown there... .) etc...

June 12, 20223 yr I would recommend you watching some Youtube videos and learn how to set the aircraft up for a proper flight. Edited June 12, 20223 yr by Bobsk8
