Subject: 540 doesn't sequence during SID
Posted: 19 Nov 2015 at 2:15pm
I depart Teterboro on the SID or I depart Memphis on the SID it does prompt me for a button push to sequence the next waypoint. I know when I shot the ILS at KPHF here last weekend on the miss it prompted me to push the LSK upon reaching some minimum altitude to fly the published missed approach.

That is incorrect it takes it in via 5VDC input from an altimeter. I don't think all altimeters have this connection, so a different altimeter maybe needed. I think the ADC from Insight has an input for baro so that could be a possibility as well.

I can recall one incidence where I wasn't give the sequence and it was due some database issue. I don't recall which runway, but doing the ELVIS2.EONEE out of Memphis didn't prompt. It turned out to be a problem only with that specific runway. At no point did I feel screwed when it didn't prompt, I had briefed the SID and activated the next sequence in the SID with two button pushes instead of one.
