Auto Pilot Quirk

Post by Fabio7371 »

I noticed that if I set an altitude of FL030 and click the ALT button to get VS and click UP 4 times to get VS of 400 fpm, at the point that I carefully click ARM the fpm indicator goes down to 200 or 100. I have to repeat the procedure several times before it actually sticks at 400 fpm when I hit ARM.

Is this normal or is it just my c182?

Hi Fabio - thanks for the post and welcome to the forums.

We will look into the behaviour you've noted with the KAP 140 simulation.

Kind regards,
Nick

I should mention that a work around is not to fight it. if it drops to 100 or 200 on the VS before you ARM, accept it and then just UP or DOWN to your desired VS using the UP/ DN buttons. :)
