Hi Steve,

I am not really sure what you mean with the red button autopilot error? Does the autopilot disconnect?

Your route on the FMS looks good, but your descent path has two restrictions in it (230B and 100B) that our Vnav logic does not handle well (yet). So it might be possible that you run up against that.

Unfortunately there is only one thing I can recommend in that case, and that is to fly the descent in an autopilot mode that is more under the pilot´s control, like FL CHG or V/S.

Cheers, Jan

Thanks litjan, what I mean by autopilot error is there are three little boxes on pilot view and one light up saying autopilot . I push the button to get rid of the error , but it doesn’t seem to disconnect the autopilot. 

Inwill try and do a manual descent , and thanks for letting me know, i thought it was my programming the FMC
