birdy.dma Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Left FD is off. Right FD is up. I should be able to fly with the AP on VOR-LOC with the NAV2 frequency. Do i miss something, or is it non implemented? Claude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Autopilot A or B? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy.dma Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Autopilot A. If i understand well, if i switch the AP from A to B, i could use NAV2. With both FD on, or only the right one? The tutorial flight 2 page 7 is unclear for me. Is FCC A (the master) = AP A? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Think about it. If Autopilot A was receiving signals from TWO radios (two different VOR signals) at the same time, then which one should it choose to follow when you hit the VOR-LOC button?

birdy.dma Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Thank you, Of course. I have read somewhere (may be smartcockpit) that the transfer was done with FD. Both FD on = left side. One FD on = NAV of this side.. Edited May 3, 2016 by birdy.dma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy.dma Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I am on ground, start engine running, NAV1 don't receive any frequency, NAV2 does. See pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litjan Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Well, this has nothing to do with the FCC master - that only determines which of the two radios is being "slaved" to the autopilot. For example if FCC A is master, the autopilot will only track VOR´s or ILS´s that are tuned on NAV 1. However, the EHSI´s still display their respective radio signals, so you could show an ILS set on NAV 2 on EHSI 2 - the autopilot (or FD) simply wouldn´t track it. And autopilot trumps FD - so if FD 1 is master (FCC A) , but then you engage autopilot B, FCC B becomes master. Jan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy.dma Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Thank you for your time Jan. My bad, i am unclear. The pictures above are not related to the AP. I should have open an other thread. I am at LFMN, NAV1 and 2 on 109.20 (CGS). Only NAV 2 catch CGS. Probably not normal. Claude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you have random failures on (its on by default!) Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tried to verify your issue and it works for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
