Hi. Ive just started to learn the Majestic Dash 8 and think it is a fantastic piece of software, however on a flight yesterday I kept having a few problems. 1. I was on a flight From Manchester (egcc) to Amsterdam (eham) Using the FMC to fly the Flight, At Random times the Autopilot kept Disconnecting and put the Aircraft in to a turning Descent (not a dangerous descent in the sense it was within the descent range) this occoured about 3 times throughout the Flight without any changes by myself to the Flight Controls. 2. At about 25 Miles out I disconnected the Autopilot to hand fly the aircraft into land at Amsterdam, as soon as I Disconnected the Autopilot the Aircraft went into a 90 Degree nose Down Dive and I was unable to recover the Aircraft either by reconnecting the AP or by manual controls. As I'm still new to the Aircraft, I'm pretty certain that this is likely to be caused by me not setting it up correctly, can anyone help with trying to identify possible causes to this. Thank You

Hi. I use EFASS from Froome to plan my routes and im just wondering which route I input to successfully complete the flight. There is 2 sections with route waypoint and airway data: ATC ROUTE and ROUTE DATA, ATC ROUTE includes the waypoints up to the top of descent only, and ROUTE DATA includes the same route plus the waypoints after the Top Of Descent. any tips or help would be appreciated. Thanks
