Dear fellow simmers, A couple of months ago an Airbus returned to Amsterdam after shutting down one engine during low visibility conditions (RVR 200-400 meters). I wondered if this also possible with the 737NGX, since it requires a single engine autoland. According to the manual this is possible on fail operational airplanes. The FCOM states (4.20.20 / Automatic Flight – System Description – Single Engine Landing): The FCTM contains a table (5.27 / Approach and Missed Approach - Fail Passive vs. Fail Operational Autoflight System – Approach and Go-Around – One Engine Inoperative) that states in the FAIL OPERATIONAL column and GENERAL row: However, I am unable to engage the A/T and I do not understand why. I am using the APU as a second electrical source, but I am unable to engage the A/T both before and after LAND3 is annunciated and FLARE and ROLLOUT are armed. After setting the A/T switch on the MCP to ARM it immediately releases to OFF. When I restart the engine I am able to engage the A/T. Are single engine autolands simulated in the NGX? And if so, has anybody been able to complete a single engine autoland with the A/T engaged? Kind regards, Joni Radelaar

Hello all. I am looking for a high performance single engine aircraft to do some touring with. I am admittedly biased towards high quality, system depth, etc. and would prefer native GTN750 support. I have both of A2A's higher performance aircraft, the 182 and the Commanche, but the Piper AP is not really to my liking. It works, and may be what I have to default back too, but I wanted to get the opinions of others on here. Believe it or not, I was looking at the Carenado A-36, but getting the GTN into the panel seems to be a project no one has tackled yet. So feel free to share your thoughts. Thanks for reading.
