Topic: FMGS/Navigation/Autopilot-problems

Dear all,

I have been flying Jardesign A320 for almost a year. I have learned a lot how to use, navigate and control the aircraft.

I am confronted with more and more problems, which I can not answer.

It starts with a simple flight: IFR from EDDK to EDDF, FL120.
The route is as follows: EDDK - SID - COL - T911 - ROLIS - STAR - EDDF.
I select RWY32R and for SID: COL2B.

I follow the procedure as from the checklist.

FMGS programming:
INIT page
- from / to: EDDK / EDDF
- flt nbr: XXXXX
- cost index: 25
- crz fl: 120 -> FL120
next page:
zfwcg / zfw: click
block: click

PERF page
- drt to - flx to: 67
- flaps / ths: 2 / dn1.3
- v1: 136
- Fri: 141
- v2: 154

F-PLN
click on EDDK, departure, 32R, COL2B, NO TRANS, TMPY F_PLN
message: 'NEW CRZ FL', why? I just have not finished the flight plan yet.
click on INSERT

According to COL2B, the route is: DK034 - CA700 - DK039 - DK035 - DK037 - COL.
Note: 'DK037' is white highlighted. Why? The route is still running from RWY32R?

Click on COL, AIRWAYS and I put in T911 for VIA and ROLIS for TO. Then click on TMPY and INSERT

Click on EDDF for the STAR:
I select ILS25RZ, ROL25N, NOVIA, NO TRANS, TMPY F-PLN and TMPY INSERT.
Message: 'NEW CRZ FL' for the 2nd time. Why? Any idea?

Now COL is white highlighted.

I go to INIT page to change the FL to FL120

The route of ROL25N: ROLIS - ETARU - DF403 -DF411 - DF416 - DF426 - DF422 - NIBAP - RW25R.

I follow the Engine Start checklist up to the Take-Off.

The flight plan looks like this:

EDDK       0000       / * 302
32R         0003       / * 302
DK034     0004       /1969
CA700     0004       /2025
DK039     0004       /2495
DK035     0005       /2991
DK037     0007       /FL083
(T / C)     0009       /*FL120
COL         0009       /FL120
ROLIS      0013        /FL120
ETARU     0015         /FL120
DF403     0018        /FL120
DF411     0021        /FL120
(T / D)     0023        /FL120
(RED250) 0023        /FL104
DF416     0024        /FL101
(LIM)       0024        /FL100
DF426     0025        /FL090
DF422     0028        /4721
(DECEL)   0029        /3398
NIBAP      0030        /3335
(SPD220) 0031       /2750
RWR25R   0033       /*364
EDDF        0038       /*364

After take-off, the autopilot switched on at 900ft, the aircraft turns right towards COL (?). COL is still white highlighted. Why does not the aircraft follow the route according to SID COL2B (DK034 - CA700 - DK039 - DK035 - DK037 - COL)?

After COL, the autopilot follows the described route up to DF416. The aircraft turns to the right, tries to reach (LIM), but it does already passed, then turns to left and maintain a course of 160. The aircraft will never reach the next waypoint DF426 and never land on EDDF.

This scenario is reproducible. What am I doing wrong?

Looking forward to the quick response. Thanks in advance.
