EHM-1838 Andrew:
Hello Murray
I have tried three planes and had the same results with each.BAE 146,FOKKER 100 and EMBRAER 170.But now i ve learnt that the problem is climbing not descent i don't mind because its my fault,not some bug in PP and hopefully i can get my climb out speeds sorted out.
cheers Andy

Bruno!

Thanks for the explanation. I agree. After seeing ACARS I have to confirm: after takeoff my climbing was to fast!( pulling the stick to much back on me ).  All clear now. I am sinking into the secrets of ProPilot more and more. It is excellent tool, and it's just fine if you now exactly how it works.

But haven't got the answer about pressing button B passing FL 180 up or downway. How many feet is the tolerance?

Peter

EHM-0948 Bruno:
The tolerance is 500ft (up and down).

What I do is I always configure the A/P to level at FL179. Then, after that I start climbing again and when i reach 18000ft I start pressing much times on the "B" key until it gets 29.92 milibars.

Regards

Thanks for the information and splendid and most simple idea. Gee, that's very smart and I'll use it immediately. Hope you don't mind. LOL.

EHM-1001 Robert:
Funny thing is when you are flying with VNAV on a payware plane. I seen more times that if you have not program waypoint restrictions correctly, it can fly with 6000fpm even, to compensate the route...so, take care and always be prepared to turn off the autopilot.
