  1. I think I see where my user error was with the MCDU but you you are correct, even if I enter the incorrect information into the MCDU, it should say NOT ALLOWED and not crash the MCDU. I'm use to other FMC/MCDU to where I simply enter a speed/altitude and just select the RIGHT LSK next to that point. My error on the A310 was entering 250/130 and hitting the RIGHT LSK and when the direct entry didn't work I selected the LEFT LSK next to ONDRE when I should have hit the RIGHT LSK first. I'm glad this will be addressed in a future update.

  2. Sure, I can duplicate it each time. I was flying from KDTW to KATL in the Delta A310. I was about to start my arrival into Atlanta on the ONDRE1.HAINZ arrival. I was programing the MCDU to cross ONDRE at 250/130. Being a FMC guy I used the RIGHT LSK on ONDRE to ENTER 250/130 but nothing changed. Then I used the LEFT LSK on ONDRE and the next window open. I see VIA GOTO [   ]/[       ]. I enter 250/130 in the keypad and select the LSK. Noting populated in the [   ]/[       ] window and this is when everything stops working. I can repeat this every time. I did it two more times just to confirm but I did not take off from KDTW. I simply loaded the plane ready for takeoff, imported my flight plan, added my SID and STAR and then went directly to ONDRE to add my crossing restriction  as if I was in flight. As soon as I did all the buttons stopped working. The flight controls still worked but the instruments were reading funny and buttons stopped responding. When this happens in flight and I push the yoke down to descend, again only the flight controls work, the long needle will move but the small needle on the altitude guage stays frozen. Hope this helps.
