Question to F. McKay

[scelma]

Hi,
I'm unable to power on the AP and lower the flaps when I use the v6 panel. When I use the "Fairchild F-27 / FH-227 built 12 Oct 2005" one everything's fine. Is it something to do with my setup or is there a bug somewhere? Zip file downloaded on 8/5/11 and named "fokkf276".

Hello Mate and welcome to the forum

I've not heard of this problem before but I don't have this panel loaded to check it for you. Hang in there and I'm sure one of the troops if not Fraser himself will be here to answer your query

I've only had a brief session with the V6 so far,but I was able to set the flaps for take off ok and to retract them.I can't recall having an A/P problem.I'll check again later when at home but I expect someone will have responded by then EricT

Hi,

That file name sounds like the Fokker version rather than Fairchild?

Make sure that the electrical panel is properly set as per the manual. The flaps are powered by the main bus, which if isolated will prevent their operation.

Additionally the inverter, main or spare, must be running to power the autopilot.

Cheers
Fraser

Thanks everybody for your help. It was my mistake only; switching the emergency supply on with one inverter on!
