Heading-Knob
Push the heading knob in to arm and capture the flight route laterally. This allows the aircraft to turn
left and right according to the programmed flight plan and steer towards the destination on its own in
NAV mode. When there is no flight plan nearby the autopilot will keep flying on the selected heading,
only when you intercept the flight plan will it capture the flight plan.
Pull the heading knob to fly a selected heading in HDG mode. Turn the knob left or right to change the
target heading, the aircraft will turn towards that left or right.
Altitude-Knob
Turn the knob to set a new target altitude that the autopilot is allowed to fly to.
Pushing the altitude knob performs a managed climb (CLB) or descent (DES) towards the selected
altitude when you have a route programmed. It does nothing if there is no route nearby and it only
works if you are already flying along the route in NAV mode. With this mode the autopilot will
automatically level off at altitude constraints if the flight plan requires that.
Pulling the altitude knob tells the autopilot to immediately climb or descent to the selected altitude
without any restrictions in open climb (OP CLB) or open descent (OP DES) modes.
