ALT ARM indication triggers ALT mode with FD off

Post by Emi »

Hi,

I've found a small issue with the KA285 announciator and KAS297 Altitude Selector in regards to the ALT ARM within the FD OFF.
According to the manual "ALT ARM is disengaged by [...] selecting FLT DIR to OFF."
However this does not happen to me and ALT ARM can be active with the FLT DIR being OFF.
Further, when this is the case and the target altitude is reached the ALT indication lights up on the KA285 while the FD is still OFF.
Pressing the FD button to enable the FD's will then kill the ALT indication.

Not quite sure if I'm doing something wrong here, but as far as I understand the manuals ALT ARM should not be active anymore when the FLT DIR is OFF and therefore also no ALT can engage with the FLT DIR OFF (and in any case there should be no ALT indication without a visible FLT DIR, right?).
Best regards
Emanuel
