changing a transition while on approach not possible?

[felipeturbay]

Hi everyone, during approach, I attempted to change the assigned transition after entering the landing runway and STAR, but the system wouldn't select the new transition. I had to change to a different runway to reset the flight plan. Is this expected behavior for the A350, or is it a bug?

I suppose tou have to select the runway either case. If you change only star then it was not working, but you can do it with selecting the same runway again before selecting the star

Really not working...as you mentioned, even selecting new runway, new STAR, input positively, but system will direct you to the AIRPORT, but no approach...there must be a BUG on the A350.
(you will be very busy as a single pilot...but, if you try a few times, it works and you can get it done, even if you establish yourself on a hold while you work out the FMS).
SOLUTION for now:
1- Delete all waypoints (FMS) left on the flight plan directing you to the airport
2- See your MAP (tablet, Simbrief, littlemaps, etc.) for the waypoints leading to the approach you are interested (assigned by ATC)
3- Add new waypoints all the way to your IAF and IF
4- Input the ILS (frequency) you were assigned in the NAV AID on the FMS and also input the ILS course
5- once on the IAF, activate your approach by selecting LS in both sides (Pilot and co-pilot) and press APPR on the MCP
Happy approach, and do not forget to ACT in accordance with the established Missed Approach procedures in case you have a missed approach.
