March 30, 20251 yr The FP is loaded fine in all respects. Now I know in a Boeing plane you have to enable LNAV and VNAV, in a MD-11 you have to enable Profile and Nav. What of the A350?

March 30, 20251 yr There are numerous you tube videos to get you up and running. A330 driver has some great videos loading flight plan and setting up navigation.

March 30, 20251 yr Push the HDG SEL knob. Hands control over to the magic to follow the flight path. Should display "---" after you do that. David Porrett

Yes I know and have seem some, particularly A330 driver's, however that is not seen anywhere by me so far...regardless, if you know the answer why not just say so?
March 30, 20251 yr Do you know how to fly an Airbus? Not trying to be condescending but since the same theory works between the a320 and the a350, it helps to figure out if this is a "Here is how the Airbus way is" as opposed to an "ok, here is where the a350 is different." As David said, at cruise your glareshield look like this timestamp in the below video, Managed Speed, Managed heading at ----. FD on, AP on. If it's not let us know and we can help backtrack from there. Also, on the MCDU when you first load the flight plan it creates a temporary flight plan. You need to go to the Flight Plan page and insert it again there. I also found British AV Geeks "Cold and Dark" video helpful. The a350 has a different way of getting setup than I am used to even on the a320. Edited March 30, 20251 yr by BrammyH Forgot video link.

Because he’s trying to help you. Flying the airbus is completely different to flying a Boeing as you mention lnav and lnav. please watch some videos

In Basic terms, The heading knob, When pushed, you are in Managed Mode (LNAV), When Pulled, you are in Selected Mode, (Heading Select Mode). Same for the Altitude knob. When pushed, you are in Managed Mode (VNAV). When Pulled, you are in Select Mode, where you are kind of in a IAS mode, or you can go to V/S (vertical speed mode). Speed knob works the same, Speed knob is pushed, Managed mode, speed is controlled by the MCDU (FMS), when pulled, you select the speed. It obviously is more complicated then that, but that is the basics.
