Autopilot Follow me marks

Post by DCAPilot »

I'm confused. The COTS manual says that the autopilot follow-me marks should be line up as in set elevator follow-up index to match elevator alignment index by turning elevator knob. Okay let's use elevator. I turn the knob and a small white bar on the right side of the Sperry AI moves up or down. So where is the elevator alignment index mark? Is that the fixed white bar on the right of the Sperry AI? I assume the small white bar on the top for the ailerons is to be aligned with the triangle at the top of the sperry AI.

Are there LVARs for the aileron and elevator alignment indexes?

Thanks.

Okay. Are there any LVARS for the alignment indexes. I found the followme mark LVARS

I'm doing a panel in Air Manager - mainly because some of the instruments are hard to read in the sim - mainly to provide information but for some of the items I've added controls so they can be controlled from the sim or from Air Manager.
