Deputy Sheriffs Secondator 643 Posted April 7, 2021 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted April 7, 2021 Did you try to make a direct to a suitable waypoint after activating the secondary flight plan? More often than not when activating the secondary flight plan you are not already on the first active leg there so some cleanup is needed for the FMC to understand where you want to go and how to catch the route.

I tried to DIR to a couple of the Waypoints in the "NEW" Flight plan , But it just started to hunt and keep turning left ... But I am sure you guys will get it right , BTW This is a great plane flies great , Reminds me of my young days doing my ATPL ..

Chaxterium 119 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Did you activate the secondary flight plan so it became the active flight plan? You can't go direct to waypoints on the secondary flight plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if you just make the waypoint the active direct-to waypoint instead of using the DIR-TO button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried every waypoint in the new plan , kept looking for the previous waypoints "I think" It was hunting , Sure its a Bug but I am patient , this is the best CRJ in any platform ..
