Class 3: Dash 8 Q-400 problems

<< < (2/2)

EHM-2198 Didimo:
More findings. Did my 2nd long flight (EHM3057) on this one. Still exhibits some erratic behaviour with the default panel when selecting CRS with AP.

Mostly I see that sometimes it veers off somewhere. Anyway I finally got it to do the GPS flight plan sequencing on autopilot:

1. Have flight plan/waypoints
2. be airborne
3. set top of climb and enable ALT button on autopilot panel
4. Enable Autopilot
5. Set NAV/GPS switch to GPS
6. Enable CRS button on autopilot pael

At first it tries to fight itself and you see some turning in an unexpected direction but then it settles off on course (the other way). After this while keeping the plane on this configuration you can still change the CRS and/or HDG settings on the AutoPilot panel but it will not affect the AP sequencing the waypoints until you disable the NAV/GPS.

Did a few improvements on the plane and now I love it :)
