For use with Microsoft Flight Simulator only. Not to be used in real world aviation.
The KFC225 will send instructions to the control motor for the
elevator trim to maintain this vertical speed as closely as
possible, until the setting is changed, or the function is
discontinued.
The ARM indicator will annunciate while the aircraft is
seeking the selected vertical speed. If that vertical
speed is maintained, the indicator will go dark.
The autopilot will control the elevator trim to maintain the
selected vertical speed, until:
•
The selection is changed to a different value.
•
The VS switch is pressed again, changing back to
Fixed Pitch Function .
• The ALT switch is pressed.
• The AP Master Key is switched OFF.
1.3.3.3 ALT MODE
Press the ALT key to engage ALT Mode. When the KFC225 is in Active Mode , the servo
controls will control the aircraft's pitch axis to maintain a preselected altitude.
Ensure that the AP Master Key is ON for Active Mode .
When the ALT Key is pressed, the KFC225 is in Altitude Hold mode. The altitude preselect will be
automatically set to present altitude. If the ALT button is pressed with an established climb or
descent rate present, there will be approximately a 10% (of VS rate) overshoot, with the airplane
returned positively to the selected altitude. *
If pressed when ALT hold mode is
engaged, ALT Mode will
disengage, defaulting to Pitch
Mode .
* Describes the function of the unit in standard mode. If "Use FS Style Autopilot" is selected in the Control
Center, the unit will not select the present altitude when the ALT button is pressed, nor will it be locked out
if the aircraft is climbing or descending.
Altitude Selection
Use the Preselector Knob for Altitude Preselect, at the desired altitude, in feet.
