FMC act strangely, blocking my TO procedure


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,

I've tried the A300 freighter from something like 10-12 flights now (and I have to say that is a really impressive works guys, good job).

But two times, there was a behavior that I didn't understand : somehow, IRS never aligned (ATT in red on the PFD screen) however I press "align IRS" on the FMC. Then I can't do a "next page" on the INIT menu, I have a "not allowed" response. However I was on this very page just before in order to enter block fuel ,etc..

And after starting both engines, I wanted to start the 2 Pitch trim levers to be able to set the TO trim wheel, but they come down (refuse to be on). A little detail that could be important : The ADI cage can't be release : pull the lever do nothing (both engines on).

I think there is something at the start of this strange cascade of event but I can't figure if it's me, or if it's a random bug.

I'm always following the very same procedure, so I'm leaning for a bug, but I'm not a perfect simmer, after all, it could be me.

Anyway, is some people have the same things happened ?

What probably happened is that you put one of the IRS rotaries into ATT mode by accident, which would explain all these.
INIT B cant be accessed anymore if engine is started.
Pitch trim levers wont stay up if IRS is not aligned.

Thanks for all your responses, I'm going to try that right now 😉

Could it be true if this was a very short turn, like I scrolled 2 notches by mistake then turn back on NAV ?

Well, being particularly vigilant about the knob result in a no-surprise behaviour, on this flight at least : I'll continue to double check this every time !
