After several phone calls the aircraft was on its way back to the autopilot shop.
Roll steering autopilot.
It even anticipates the turn based on your ground speed and distance to the waypoint.
Of course not all autopilots are coupled to all sources.
A roll steering autopilot deviates from the standard version because it uses the necessary roll authority at the appropriate time.
Modes allow you to select this coupling.
A simple autopilot system is reactive so that turns begin after passing a waypoint with oscillations about the new course until errors damp out which may never happen in strong crosswinds.
Century s gps roll steering module makes flying with your gps and autopilot easier than ever.
Affordable gps roll steering for general aviation the gpss interfaces with the composite roll steering commands output by gps navigators to fly a complete pre programmed flight plan hands off.
Gps roll steering lets you program a complete flight plan into your gps.
Since the s tec is a rate sensing ap anyway its well qualified to fly using the rate of turn created by the gps without need for gyro input.
There are roll or lateral or horizontal modes and pitch or vertical modes.
So let s apply some autopilot basics to help us better understand what happened before proceeding to my originally intended subject gpss or roll steering autopilots use servos to translate electrical energy into mechanical outputs to fly the airplane.
System 50x and 40x.
