rddaos Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I have programmed the FMS, put the corvalis on autopilot, cycled the HSI to GPS, pressed the "direct to" key on the FMS ready pad, pressed the "N" (navigation) button on the PFD, set the bearing input to GPS, and yet the autopilot is merely tracking my current heading. I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the AP to ignore the heading bug on the HSI and instead direct the aircraft per the FMS. Please see the attached files and THANKS!

JGregory Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 rddaos,You need to use the HDG function of the AP or fly the plane manually to intercept your course. The GPS/FMS will not capture if the bearing is significantly greater that the current course.Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
