Default 747-8 autopilot


Recommended Posts

Flying the 747 from Frankfurt (EDDF) to Gatwick (EGKK), everything is fine. Following ATC instructions with altitude settings. (FMC seems unable to follow altitude settings in the Simbrief flightplan). Tracking my flight on Navigraph Charts on a second computer. 

Everything going like clockwork until ATC says "Go Around". Have to transition via WILLOW, but autopilot appears to have a mind of its own now and will NOT follow the heading that I set, it wants to follow its own course whatever that is.

How do I shut down the FMC flight plan so that I can direct the autopilot to where I now need it to go?

Switch from NAV to HDG mode on the autopilot panel and dial in your required heading with the selector knob.
