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?

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?

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..

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.

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.

Did you check your failures setting in X-plane? Maybe you have random failures on (its on by default!)

Just tried to verify your issue and it works for me.
