IAS speed on EADI

[sidneyschwartz]

Not sure if this is a bug or not. When descending using IAS mode, the selected speed shown on the EADI is constantly blinking, even though the autopilot maintains the speed correctly. Is that right?

That doesn't sound right.  It should only blink when you change autopilot modes. If you can provide the EXACT steps to recreate this we will look into it.

1. Cruising at 20,000, get cleared to descend.

2. Set target altitude to 12,000.

3. Click IAS button on autopilot. Speed bugs moves to current speed and IAS indicator on EADI appears and begins blinking.

4. Reduce throttle. Autopilot reduces pitch to maintain target speed. IAS indicator continues to blink until target altitude reached, goes back to green ALTS display.

Noticed on this last flight that the problem does not occur when climbing using IAS mode.

On current flight problem is occurring when climbing using IAS mode. Set target altitude, activate IAS mode on autopilot, set speed bug.
