control wheel steering
When the autopilot is engaged, press and hold the AP/DISC button on
the control stick to put the autopilot into control wheel steering mode.
While control wheel steering mode is active, the autopilot servos are
temporarily disengaged. This lets you fly the aircraft by hand for short
periods to make an adjustm
ent to the autopilot’s targets without com-
pletely disengaging the autopilot.
When the disconnect switch is released, the autopilot’s targets are ad-
justed as follows:
TRK+ALT mode
•
pitch axis
The ALT bug and therefore the autopilot’s altitude tar-
get is
synchronized with the aircraft’s current altitude.
•
roll axis
The TRK bug and therefore the autopilot’s track target
is synchronized with the current GPS track.
HIS+ALT mode
•
pitch axis
The ALT bug and therefore the autopilot’s altitude tar-
get is synchr
onized with the aircraft’s current altitude.
•
roll axis
No change, the roll axis resumes tracking its HSI
source.
hold to engage
When the autopilot is not already engaged, press and hold the
AP/DISC button on the control stick will place the autopilot into hold to
engage mode. The top bar annunciates REL TO ENG (release to en-
gage) while the AP/DISC button is held.
Then the AP/DISC button is released, the autopilot engages in
TRK+ALT mode. TRK and ALT are synchronized to the aircraft’s cur-
rent GPS ground track and altitude.
