WallyWalt Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Since SU15 I have a strange issue. On climb the aircraft levels off at the altitude selected in the MCP. In descent it doesn´t level off at the right altitude but continues to descent towards ground. It happend in three of three flights I made with the A310 since SU15, but I can´t tell if it´s a generell problem with the autopilot (i.e. also happening with V/S and level change) or just a issue with profile.

richboy2307 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Hi @WallyWalt, Can you share a screenshot of your PFD + FCU when you are noticing the issue? Also is this happening regardless of which procedure (STAR/Approach) or only on a specific one? Thanks!

Hopefully this weekend. When I am remembering correctly, it was two times an RNAV/RNP Approach and the third time an ILS, but I wouldn´t bet my life on it. I´ll come back on this soon 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @richboy2307, I could narrow it down: The issue occurs when decending in Profile mode and then manually selecting a speed. The MCP than switches to level change but apparently doesn´t arm the before selected altitude. It doesn´t happen when selecting a altitude and descending down to it with either lvl chg or profile from the beginning. If I am not mistaken, before SU15 it was possible to manually select a speed and still decent in profile mode? But either way the plane shouldn´t descent below the selected altitude. As the screenshot shows, I have slected 7000 feet but the plane kept descending below 7000 ft (at 6700 ft with 1800 ft/m descent rate). The flight mode annunciator shows SPD and NAV but not the ALT in blue, which it does when descending with level change from the beginning. Hope this helps figuring out the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the write-up. I've shared with the team for further investigation.
