Autopilot - Unable to assign navigation source to PFD1

[honeycool75]

Hi,

 

FMS configured with a flightplan, engaged autopilot + Nav but the autopilot isn't flying to the waypoint e.g. "DERBB" from my screenshot. It seems that I'm having difficulties trying to assign the correct navigation source. Also, I always get the green "ROLL" instead of "LNV1" at the top.  Can anyone show me the correct steps to assign navigation source to PFD1? An illustration would be great.

 

Thanks.

You should use heading mode to fly onto the desired track, in the post above the CDI shows you’re flying away from it, so LNV won’t capture, it’ll stay armed (white). Or try use the direct to function from your current position, and possibly reengage.

Yes "HDG" will bring the plane back to the track but that won't auto navigate the entire flightplan unfortunately. Would you be able to describe how I could make LNV to become green again, e.g. which button or menu to click? I managed to do that once before but can't remember how it was done. I have read somewhere that the source preset to "FMS" should work but still without joy.

Thanks.

You’re in FMS navigation, and LNV is armed (white), you’re all set. Look at the CDI or the PPOS map on the MFD, and fly using heading select onto the magenta line and FMS navigation will take over.

Thanks so much Pils and rjb4000, problem solved!
