## Discrepancy

CAPTAIN SIDE AUTOPILOT FAILS WHEN ENGAGED EN ROUTE.  FD OPERATES NORMALLY BUT AP DSC FLAG AND AP ERROR LIGHT APPEAR ON FCP AND AP CONTROL PANEL INDICATES AP DIS AND RED AP LIGHT AND AMBER FLAG ERRORS.  REMOVED AND REPLACED AP CONTROL PANEL WITH NEW CONTROL PANEL IAW 24-10-04.  OPS CHECK GOOD.
