VASFMC don't climb to Flight Level 370 !

[emshomar]

Hello !
This is not the first time i flown with VasFMC. In the new A380 VC i managed the MCDU to climb to FL370 with Cost Index 900. After it climbed over 10.000 FT it slowly stoped to climb ! :shock:
After that I looked again to the FMC and found no problem :!:
I was so distracted that I have not seen the mountain before me and I crashed into it

Any suggestion or help ?

Keep your eyes wide open. The windscreen is transparent

Lol, guess hiring a copilot will solve your problem

As far as I remember, VAS doesn't include VNAV. I wonder how you got up to 10000ft without using ALT hold in the first place!

Like all other flights with VasFMC I just turned the ALT knob to 37000

Check youre not overweight and use OP CLB

Then it should climb. I flew yesterday and it worked OK. Did you RClick on the knob and select a VS?

No ? :?

You have to select a vertical speed by hand. I think I got the same problem above 10000ft; RClick on the VS knob, select a Vertical speed manually and it'll climb there.

Thank you ! And have a nice day !

[emshomar]

HHmm...
I tested it again and the same problem ! In the PFD I have OP Climb, but it don't climb ! With Vertical Speed it works. When I am trying to climb I loose Speed !
In the older version it worked fine without loosing speed !

[esg]

Have you set the speed for the climb phase in the MCDU?

[emshomar]

Have you set the speed for the climb phase in the MCDU?

Yes ! I telling you I made flights like that in the older version of PA380 (without VC) and it worked fine !

[Alexis]

The climb problem is there only with VAS.VAS FMC doesn't support vertical navigation. That means that, no matter what you do in the MCDU, it is not programmed to automatically change FLs. You'll have to set the altitude and Vertical Speed by hand, because VAS hasn't modeled the VNAV feature yet.
