I am going through the YouTube tutorials with Captain Jan Vogel and noticed that my FMS is not functioning the same as his. On page 6 of the manual (and @ 4:07 mins on YouTube) Jan's FMS is lit; mine is not. As the video progresses, I enter all the data exactly as Jan does, but the EXEC never lights. Then at 6:36 mins Jan clicks on EXEC (lit) and says that this step will initialize the FMS to track fuel. That does not happen for me.
I did notice at the beginning of the video that Jan had a previous flight loaded (KLAX to KSAN). I am not sure but is that making the difference here?
Appreciate some guidance on how to EXECute my FMS, with light on.
Jan, if you follow these threads, do you interact with newbies? I love your teaching style and the video end-product.
Thanks,
M
