I've just got back into the ini A350 after giving it a wide berth because of all the initial bugs. Planned a EGLL to VHHH flight which was superb up until approach (I really enjoyed the preparation, taxi, take off and cruise).

Then on initial approach I was in CLB NAV mode with AP and AT all set then as I selected flaps 1 at the correct speed, the flight modes changed to HDG SEL and VS. I pushed the HDG SEL and ALT knobs and it returned to CLB NAV. The same thing happened when selected flaps 2, then again on flaps 3 and again on flaps full. It even happened when I was in APP mode on the LOC and GS with both autopilots engaged.

Any ideas? I'm in MSFS2024 with the latest SU installed.

Thanks

Hi,

I haven’t encountered this myself or heard of anyone else experiencing these issues. Was the approach mode activated in the MCDU?

Thanks!

It appears it was a key binding issue. Everytime I selected flaps, it also selected the HDG SEL.

Thanks for the reply...totally my fault!
