easydavid14 0 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hello, As soon as I entered a RWY+STAR the FMC had no TOD and on the APPR page it is displaying a weird VAPP and VLS speeds? Also from the moment TOC was reached "decelerate" was displayed on the PFD? Any ideas? Regards Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCT2003 2553 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I believe this indicates that you had already passed your TOD. Can you provide the complete route and aircraft weights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Complete route was: DEP: EGAA RWY 25 SID: NONE ROUTE: BLACA STAR: TWEED2B ARR: EGPH RWY 24 Weights: ZFW - 53.9 TOW - 57.6 LDW - 56.4 FUEL - 4257 I reached TOC FL170 and instantly it displayed DECELERATE despite not being near TOD as the star profile has FL170 by a waypoint i was still 30nm from.

DaveCT2003 2553 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 yeah, that pretty much confirms you'd already passed the computed TOD. That entire route is only something like 112 miles, so I'm quite sure the above explains this. Try a longer route with separation between the TOC and TOD and I'm sure you'll be all set. Best wishes.

Hello, Its not to do with passed TOD as it has yet again happened tonight on a 300nm + route, as soon as reaching TOC and entering STAR/RWY with 290 to destination FL310 its displayed DECELERATE again wiht no TOD in FMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCT2003 2553 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I remain confident that having the TOC and TOD too close to one another, or already having passed the TOD was the cause of the first issue. Regarding your second issue, since I don't know the route, what I can tell you is that DECELERATE can occur before the TOD. It depends on the crossing restrictions after the TOD. If you'll provide the complete route I'll do my best to check this. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
