Syd: Here's some feedback, just FYI:
Basically, the aircraft handles nicely, the ALT-A autopilot toggle
being a nice feature. Some things I've observed:
Display/Features:
1) The panel really needs a heading bug control knob; using the
menu
is too unwieldy.
2) NAV 2 CDI with a course knob would also be useful. The only
NAV 2
info presently available is via the RMI-type (needle) display on the
primary instrument.
3) The "blank" instrument to the right of the primary display
shows
what appears to be random, "strange" stuff during the course of the
flight.
4) Changing the COM/NAV freqs via the panel affects the "in use"
frequency, rather than the "standby" frequency.
Nav Tracking/Autopilot:
1) Flight Director steering bar only works in "Heading" mode.
2) Autopilot only tracks in NAV mode, not in Approach mode.
3) Autopilot won't capture/track the GS, even with VNAV mode
selected.
Note: VNAV historically assigned to GPS functions only. Approach mode
should activate it automatically whenever a Localizer frequency is
dialed in.
