December 4, 20223 yr Anyone else notice that about 10nm prior to descent in P DES the aircraft accelerates to M0.82 or so from .79 before TOD? In real life it does not do that.
December 5, 20223 yr Heya! Do you have a specific route this happens on, or always? We had a report like this before, but I was never able to replicate it 😕 When are you arming P DES?
December 5, 20223 yr Author Its consistent. I arm P.DES between 20-30nm prior to T/D, although ive done it earlier just to see if it makes a difference. I believe it is related to any STAR that has a 280KT constraint. It seems the aircraft will speed up to that prior to T/D when in actuality it should descend at the selected mach number and hold at the speed constraint once it reaches it in the descent.
