Here is an odd scenario and im not sure why this is happening1.I build a flight plan and enter it into the rc4 interface. I also enter it into the fms of the plane im flying. Usually pmdg or leveldI fly exactly the course determined, and that is built via fsbuild 2 or fs-navigator.I fly exactly on course and the rc4 controller continually tells me im not on course or off the airway. Doesn't the planned course and pref routing take precedence over everything else. I do understand that once can be vectored but once on course I get this message.? how do i correct that. Also;is there some way to speed up atc and the read back.is there some way to have the first office readback automatically. I forgot where that setting is.peterPeter K P.EngCF-MMZToronto Ontario CanadaPMDG 747,737and 747FLevel D 767PSS Airbus pro A340-300In reality, a Mooney 201 Pilot

Hi Peter,<>Look at the first line in the RC interface. That tells you the waypoint RC is expecting. If you've passed it then you need to request Direct Next. Press 9 and choose from the menu. If you're missing waypoints you need to examine your flying style. Are you time accelerating or hand flying? That could cause a waypoint miss.<>On the Voices screen ensure all sliders are to the left. That ensures maximum speed. Ctrl+Shift+K is the default for the F/O readback.Cheers,

"I fly exactly on course and the rc4 controller continually tells me im not on course or off the airway. Doesn't the planned course and pref routing take precedence over everything else. I do understand that once can be vectored but once on course I get this message."If by this you mean after departure vectors you get this message, and you have not updated your FMC, then you are returning to your original planned path which is not correct.When you get "resume own navigation" it means to go direct to the next checkpoint from your present position. As Ray explained this is in the top line of the RC window. First, stay to the last heading as RC instructed. On your FMC (Boeing) LEGS page 1 LSKL the waypoint RC told you to go to. This can include the top one as well. The name will appear in the scratch pad. Now LSKL the page top (next) waypoint and either the existing top one with a new heading or the name in the pad with the new heading will appear at the top as the next waypoint. Click on EXE and the path will now change to a direct-to which you can follow with LNAV.Do this technique any time it is needed to go direct from your present position direct to any waypoint in the legs page. This technique is also known as advancing the LEGS list or "popping" the LEGS stack. The technique of selecting the first waypoint twice to do a direct-to is called a "double-punch" by some pilots.I agree that the term resume own navigation can be confusing and in future versions that may be rephrased.Please note that if you do drift off course and RC commands a correction heading, use the MCP to select the heading and when RC again states resume own navigation follow the preceding procedure. If you need to skip an RC waypoint as described and then synchronize the the LEGS waypoints use this technique as well.
