Error while practicing touch-n-go

[Andrey Novikov]

I was practicing touch-n-goes without AP engaged but with simple pattern route (3 points) entered in FMC. On the second go-around I've got this error (4963.421s).

Did you by chance pass the past waypoint?

Sorry, what do you mean?

When the crash happened, did you pass the last waypoint in your flight plan? 

[Andrey Novikov]

I do not remember as I was not following the route precisely but I think yes. Any way this was the second round.

There is a problem with "unusual" flight plans in the FMS like that - and specifically one when you pass the last waypoint entered. This should get fixed with the next update (1.1)

Note that it is absolutely optional to enter a flight-plan into the FMS, and especially for practicing touch and go´s I would even call it unusual. It´s like turning on your car navigation system to drive from you carport onto the yard .

Cheers, Jan

I've created a route to have a visual clue on the display. I know I can use fixes page for that but I considered having a full pattern drown on the display more informative.

Yes, it is helpful, I agree. In the future (after patch 1.1) it should work, too. Thanks, Jan
