[SOLVED] Unable to Activate Flight Plan in Level-D767-300 FMC

[cadman]

Mike,

I'm an avid LDS-763 pilot. I have not had too many issues with the 763 and FPS. I agree with Crash. I always start up
Dark_APU_Running.

Here is my preflight:

1. Setup your flight plan (I use FSBUILD)
2. Create a flight.
3. Load the flight into FS9 (If flying online this is not needed)
4. Start the flight
5. Call us the Cold and Dark or Dark APU Running panel for the LDS.
6. Open the Cabin door.
7. Start your normal preflight powerup.
8. Call us FSP and start loading passengers. (I use 10-20 min load time)
9. Turn on the pleasing music for the loading passengers.
10. Continue your preflight. Align FMC.
11. program FMC with flight Data (I will call up the saved company flight plan from FSBuild once the FMC is aligned)
12. Contact ATC for IFR clearance.
13. Finish Preflight checklist.
14. Pax loaded (Check door closed)
15. contact tower for push back and taxi.
16. Contact pushback crew for push back and engine start.
17 During push back start engines.
18. Taxi and continue checklist until complete.
19. take off.

Thats a ruff list of what I do and I've never had a problem with the FMC routes and FPS.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
