Hi JAR,
I have 2 more bugs in the A330, at least I think so :-)
1) FMC VIA always inserted (old bug still there):
When programming an arrival route (STAR) the FMC asks for a VIA to insert. Regardless to the answer,
the VIA is inserted in the flight plan. Even if you say "no via" the via is inserted.
Easy reproducable in "EDLP", the VIA PAD1 is directly on the airport making the route not usable. Even if you select "no via" the VIA is inserted and you have to delete it afterwards by hand.
2) FMC managed mode sinkrate goes to infinity
Usually in autopilot mode you can select a vertical rate from -3000 to 3000 ft/min.
In managed mode, this can be much more.....
a) Program a route, say EDDH to EDDL. Set SID/STAR, FL300.
b) Takeoff, do the flight until "TOD"
c) just wait some time, say 2-5 Minutes. keep current height, FL300
d) Set new height, say 10000 ft.
What happens: the FMC calculates a vertical rate to reach the height from the current waypoint. This calculation does not respect the limit.
Yesterday i did a flight which leads to >7500ft/min sinkrate :-) Sure, overspeed included :-)
By the way, sinkrates >8000 ft/min are not shown in the PFD..
best regards,
