Eric02 16 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hi! I just purchased the CRJ today, and I took it for a test flight. When I got in the air and tried to turn the autopilot on, it didn't and just the sound of the autopilot disengaging was played. Does anyone know of how I might be able to fix this, or maybe I'm not doing something? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacklaws 1 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I had this problem when I first got the CRJ. Solved the problem by turning on the Yaw dampers after I got round to reading the manual. If you can not enable autopilot, check the displays and there will be a warning message to tell you that the yaw dampers are not switched on, that should confirm the above to what the problem may be.

Eric02 16 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hi! I does say yaw damper on one of the screens, but the dampers are on. I have attached a picture of the yaw damper panel, could you please tell me if I have it set wrong, because I have tried to press the buttons, but nothing happens? Thanks! 2018-1-27_7-17-17-293.BMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacklaws 1 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Without going into the program itself, off top of my head there is a yellow caution warning on one of the displays if it is not turned on. Turn the yaw dampers on and the message goes away. Its not on the PFD, I think its on the EICAS dispaly on the central instrument panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
