Navigation (NAV) Mode from ROL Mode (All Angle Intercept) 

 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 

In  the  navigation  (NAV)  mode,  the  autopilot  intercepts 
and tracks VOR/RNAV and GPS courses. 
To  arm  NAV  mode  (with  the  KAP  140  currently  in  the 
ROL mode): 
 

 

 
Maneuver  the  aircraft  to  the  desired  intercept  angle 
prior to selecting ROL mode. 
 
1. Select the desired frequency for VOR or RNAV. For 
GPS, verify the desired waypoint or destination. 
 
2. OBS Knob - SELECT desired course. 
 
3.  NAV  Mode  Selector  Button  -  PRESS.  Note  NAV 
ARM annunciated

. 

 

  

 

The  autopilot  will  flash 

HDG

  for  5  seconds  to  remind 

the  pilot  to  reset  the  HDG  bug  to  the  OBS  course. 
Check  the  heading  displayed  on  the  DG  against  the 
magnetic compass and reset if necessary. 
 
4.  Heading  Selector  Knob  -  ROTATE  BUG  to  agree 
with OBS course.  
 

 

If  CDI  needle  is  to  the  left,  desired  intercept  course 
should be 30º or greater to the left of selected (Heading 
Bug)  course;  and  30º  or  greater  to  the  right  is  CDI 
needle is to the right. Intercept angles greater than 45° 
can result in course overshoot when close to the  VOR 
station or LOC/GPS signal. Therefore, intercept angles 
greater than 45° are not recommended.
