4.5.3.2
Powered Flight
Horizontal flight:
After the autopilot is engaged it can be used e.g. for automatic controlled
horizontal flight. To set the requested parameters perform as follows:
•
Altimeter setting: Set the correct barometric setting using the
correlated knob.
•
Autopilot vertical mode setting: Touch autopilot status box, then
touch ALT (refer to: 4.1.5.3 Vertical Mode)
•
Autopilot horizontal mode setting: Set HDG or GPS, depending of
the chosen mode.
CAUTION
Cross-check attitude, altitude and speed regularly using primary flight
instruments!
CAUTION
STEMME recommends the use of GPS-based navigation modes for cross-
country flights. The GPS-modes are precise enough to control the
aircraft within very small deviations.
NOTICE
The HDG mode, based on the magnetometer information, can cause
slowly oscillating course deviation of up to +/- 10° from selected course.
This deviation can be coupled with a stable permanent fluctuation
around the longitudinal axis.
