roberth332 Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I am having a problem that sometimes (happens at least once a flight) when I am approaching a waypoint (generally a STAR but not always) the autopilot switches into heading mode from nav mode. I am currently running 1.0.9 however this has been happening from the beginning I thought I was doing something wrong but I cannot seam to figure out what it is so I am not sure if it is a bug or me doing something incorrectly. Is anyone else having the same problem or can tell me what I am doing wrong? Steps I use to setup autopilot not including entering the flight plan. Flight Director - On Heading mode - On for runway heading Once i'm around 1000 feet I switch to nav mode Set and enable vertical speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP_Pilot Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Sounds like your flight plan has a "Vectors" waypoint. ATC would normally give you vectors to final, then once established on final you should be using "Approach " mode APR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
