Hi

I have made couple test flights with Piaggio, i have problems to get plane follow flightplan, after i have made active flightplan via FMC and when i enable autopilot and set heading direction to the first route point, it will not start follow. What i need to do to get plane follow active route?
I have set in CDU nav to FMC, but still no go.

You can use HDG to vector yourself onto the route, but remember to select NAV so the autopilot will track the FMS flight plan (assuming the source is indicating that it is tracking the FMS).

If that does not work, select direct to whatever waypoint you are going to so the GPS will draw a straight line directly to the point, and then select NAV mode.
