So I just downloaded the A32nx yesterday night, and i tried to set it up on a flight from KPHL to KLAX, I uploaded the simbrief data and everything, I added the flightplan into the mcdu, but the one thing thats stopped me, is I don’t know how to get the autopilot to fly the flightplan, ive tried searching for tutorials but there were no results related to my problem, i would really appreciate if someone could give me an answer, preferably in less than 10 minutes,since i am roughly 150 miles off course, and I have to leave to go somewhere, and im not really in the mood to pause the flight. Thank you.
Can you send a picture of your Autopilot panel?
The heading switch should be in NAV mode.
Also, can you screenshot your MFD?
Hurry up, HamMan2118. Only 5 min left until the catastrophe
Hi there,
I moved your topic to Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. That is the subcategory for flying help.
I also added a few words to your title to allow others to understand the issue before clicking into the topic.
I‘d be happy to help but I‘m a 737 boy. Good luck!
HamMan2118 is on his way…
Send us your exact position! We send a fighter to escort you immediately.
Here‘s s link to a good tutorial that might help you with your next flight. A32nx Autopilot | Airbus Flight Control Unit | How to - YouTube
Right click the HDG knob-your plane isn’t following the track
It may not align itself as it’s a bit far away, I suggest watching the video Heiko linked
Yeah, you have to be in the managed mode. Then it looks more like this:
In this mode the plane follows the flight plan.
Unrelated to the good advice you’re getting in here, I also noticed your throttles are in TOGA. You should have them in CLB at this point.
You may need to calibrate your throttle position in the FlyPad if you are using external controller axes. The online FBW documentation shows you how.
ty i did this RIGHT before leaving, ty for the help
