Pre Flight Checks Cessna Skylanr A/C

[MACHAVIA]

Hello All,

Can any one advise?_ - Assume no actual Pre Flight Checks (Walk Round) can be accomplished on the above A/C unlike the A2A C172 which appears to have that function ?

Can any one advise ref the Auto Pilot on the C182 which has two buttons I have not seen on other variants on A/Pilot control panels on other Cessna Variats, they are "ARM" & "STATIC" what /when do you enable arm ?

Thank You as always for kind assistance

Hi

you should have the same functions regarding walk around on the C182 as on the 172 and I believe the Bendix stack is exactly the same in these to.
Do you have the C172?

Hi
Yes I have the hangar facility where I can check the engine etc,I am talking about the pre flight check is checking flaps / elevators checking flap drives etc etc, if it's there I do not see it in any menus, can you tell me how to get to that virtual walk around the aircraft menu / function.

Thanks
Charlie

As has previously been stated you should have the walkaround facility also.I suggest you read the manual.

Charlie,

By default, shift + 8 will take you to the pre-flight inspection menu (the engine must be shut down beforehand). The function works exactly the same as in the A2A C172.

There's a link to the KAP 140 autopilot manual in this thread. Not sure where you're seeing that "static" button though. Do you mean "arm" and "baro"? These buttons aren't modelled in the default MS C172SP, but their functions are described in the manual linked above. A quick PDF guide to operating the KAP 140 is available here too, if it helps.

Cheers,
Nick
