vmilner Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Hello. I have just purchased the SR22 Entegra, and I see something unusual with the DFC autopilot. Pressing the Straight-and-Level button levels the wings, but brings the pitch up to about 5 degrees, so the plane is climbing. Is there a calibration of some sort that I need to carry out on the DFC? Thanks! Edited September 30, 2022 by vmilner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Hi, The S&L button on the DFC should command ±2° pitch when pushed (it is not a vertical speed nor altitude hold mode). I haven't seen it go to 5° before. Are you able to record a video of this behavior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmilner Posted October 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Hi Coop, Checking again today I now see +2.5deg up, which I is tolerable. Sorry, I just started using the SR22 (and loving it!), so I must have messed something up yesterday, because I swear I saw more than 5deg up and climb rates >500 fpm after pressing S&L. Maybe I was at full throttle, which would at least explain the high climb rate... Anyway, it seems Ok now. Thank you very much for a quick response.
