iFly 38M Support Question on AP

Featured Replies

Every time when i fly, mid way my plane turns off lnav and vmav and turns left and goses in a nose dive. The fmc reports when after i stable the aircraft and try to return on AP, " NOT ON INTERCEPT HEADING" Ive done so much flying in the 737, but overall new to the max era. It will miss a turn somewhere then start to go down. I know my fmc is right, had it verify by some people. Any ideas?

1) AP disconnect is probably due to hardware noise in your joystick (either that or overpowered turbulence in MSFS).
2) To re-enable LNAV you need to be on a heading pointing towards your next waypoint. Either that or just do a direct to to the waypoint on the LEGS page

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

It will help to provide some pictures or a detailed explanation.
Note that the LNAV will generally not engage if you are over 90 degrees of intercept angle en route. However, certain FMCs will allow up to 135 degrees without getting that message.
