Programming a STAR in the Fenix`

Post by johnfry1 »

I have flown hundreds of hours, in the FENIX, not using FSIPANEL.

I never saw a T-P WAYPOINT in the MCDU when doing a direct to.

At the start of the flight the Airport code is the first line, followed by a discontinuity followed by the route.

When I do a direct to I get the T-P Waypoint at the top, but it never goes away.

You can't get into NAV mode under these conditions, which prevents it from obviously following the path as programmed.

The flight id is KDCA with DEALE3 Star with transistion LAFLN on runway 01

I flew this offline, with no issues and wanted to practice more.

Also see the FCU starting in MACH speed at flight level 11000 ft upon starting FSIPANEL.

Hope this can be explained as the product is not very useful like this.

I can send a video, but not sure how to upload
Thanks

Hi,

Just tried the same flight and could not go NAV either, at least on the first 3 Waypoints.
Position is correct, something I will report to Fenix as it should take it, no errors

In the meantime, I found a way to go in NAV mode and to fly the arrival, please see the video below:
