GBNLL 17 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hi all, I've done 2 flights in the A330 Today and the auto checklists are not going into after start mode after GSX has pushed back my aircraft. I had to switch it into taxi state the first time to actually start my flight. Start push and Start did not have asterisks (To show they have been completed) next to them on the MCDU so I guess It didn't recognise something?

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted December 13, 2019 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 13, 2019 Did you have a successful engine start (AVAIL) message on the ECAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Secondator 643 Posted December 13, 2019 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 13, 2019 Also, did you by any chance complete the pushback before starting the engines (GSX cold weather procedure)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBNLL 17 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Yeah, so I need to wait for GSX to complete everything first sorry I'm just too eager to get going haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Secondator 643 Posted December 13, 2019 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 13, 2019 No in fact you should start the engines during the pushback before GSX instructs you to set the parking brakes? So this is what you have been doing? How about the question from Otto? And are you using simStarter by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBNLL 17 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Right Ive just started a flight again same issue. I start the engines whilst GSX was pushing me back, GSX completes the push I set parking brake all engines shown AVAIL I then went to disconnect GSX and nothing comes up for the after start checklist. I'm sitting on the ground now and my MCDU is displaying START PUSH in Orange yet I've done it already on GSX. And no I'm not I don't even know what simStarter is.

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted December 13, 2019 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 13, 2019 Have you updated to the latest version of GSX? 3 minutes ago, GBNLL said: I then went to disconnect GSX What do you mean by this? you should not disconnect GSX manually and I think this is the reason for getting the orange Start push message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBNLL 17 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Once you have completed pushback on GSX and you've had 2 good engine starts confirmed by the A330 checklist then it is ok to tell GSX its ok to disconnect on their CTRL + F12 window Is what I mean and that's what I did.

Richard Portier 5 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hi, Same issue here...can be bypassed by releasing the brakes and putting them back on, It will trigger the After Start. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
