During climb out the plane started a descent. After recovering I could not get the plane to climb again. Have no idea what caused the emergency but is there anyway to go backwards in the program to restablish the climb?
You can check on the PROG page of the MCDU which cruise level is set, and adjust it if necessary. If the managed climb wonât engage, you could also climb âmanuallyâ with the V/S mode.

Do you have any additional details on what happened? Which A320 (base, FlyByWire, Fenix). Was the autopilot engaged and what were the active modes? Did the autopilot disengage? As @dxtr mentioned, V/S will work, assuming you can get the autopilot back in the loop. Also you could âpullâ the altitude knob to do OP CLB (Open Climb), as it will pitch to maintain your profile climb speed. Hope these tips help but you might get additional feedback with more information.
I was in the FBW Development version, in climb mode when the autopilot kicked out, the plane went into a dive and throttled back. I tried to go to manual speed by canceling autothrust and and pulling the speed knob but nothing would recover it. I checked the program was in DES mode and could not get it back to cruise of climb. In real life there must be a way to restart a climb or select any mode. However, it seem in the FBW whenever the you start down, youâre stuck in DES mode. BTW, I may have iced up but I didnât think I had icing turned on. Anyway, I flew the route again and had a perfect landing in kbna. Thanks for your replies and interest.
Thanks, this worked for me, it switched to cruise mode, but that is fine too.
Thanks for the tip, I could re engage CLB after entering the CRZ level in the PROG page, not sure why some times itâs auto filled with SimBrief Data and some times not.
