3/6/2023 0 Comments Kap 45 operater modI fly real weather and time, and I usually don’t get to fly until the sun is going down out here, so I do a lot of sight seeing in the dark.īefore I took off, I dialed in my altitude in the KAP-140 mod. Tonight I flew from PHSF on the Island of Hawai’i to NPS, which is the old Naval Air Facility at Ford Island in Pearl Harbor on O’ahu. Ok - took me longer than I thought it would to get a little simulator time. I thought maybe I had done something in the wrong order, so I changed my altitude that was set on the Logitech panel, switched the selector knob on the left to “VS”, punched the “VS” button on the Logitech panel, then used the right knob to dial in my descent rate. It kept climbing right past where I wanted to be. Tonight was strange though - as I neared my cruise altitude of 10,000’, the AP didn’t switch over to “ALT” mode and capture the altitude. I don’t seem to have an issue after takeoff when I’m climbing out - (before takeoff I dial in my altitude into the Logitech Multipanel) I make sure the Garmin GNS530 has the CDI switched to GPS, I switch on the AP through the Logitech Multipanel, then I poke the “NAV” button, then the “VS” button, switch the selector knob on the left to “VS,” dial in the vertical speed I want, and watch. I was able to kinda fumble my way through with the default AP, but I have a feeling I’m now lacking knowledge with the KAP-140 mod. It is quite possible that I am doing something wrong procedurally. I’ve got the Honeycomb Bravo and the LogitechG Multipanel (Auto Pilot.) I like the Logitech panel, because in aircraft that have the KAP-140 it seems to work better than the Honeycomb Bravo’s AP.
