Bulva Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) The problem as in the title: [EDIT] If you press any button on the top AP panel (ALT / HDG / NAV ... etc) before then the AP Pitch Trim knob does not turn on the AP. (Of course, AVION 1,2 is armed beforehand) Edited October 4, 2022 by Bulva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkyler Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Thx @Bulva Will fix this. Looks as though (best I can tell from SPZ docs)...is the wheel is only effective when the AP is engaged also. This is somewhat in contrast to the idea of using the pitch wheel to set a pitch target without the AP engaged. (such as before takeoff, which I used to do a lot)...but engaging the AP after takeoff defaults to pitch mode anyhow so maybe this make sense as you just fly to your stable pitch desired and engage. I'll start there pending any other clarifications. At the least, I won't turn on the AP by moving the pitch wheel. -tkyler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
