I enjoy the K350 allot and have been flying IRF around Wisconsin and Illinois. I have the heading bug figured out witch is a big help but I have to manually fly my asigned altitude because I can't figure out how to set Alt. Hold on the auto pilot.

Can anyone tell me how to set ALT. Hold on the K350? ???

Not even sure the King Air has an altitude hold.
I rarely fly it, but I believe you have to use the Vertical speed mode in order to maintain a level flight. Once you're at desired altitude flip the VS to zero.

but again, I'm not really good at the King Air  Tongue

Edit: Just tried it, there is indeed an altitude set function. You can find it to the right of the ITT gauges, can't miss it =)

I should really fly them more often  Grin

Try opening up the Radio Stack .... the autopilot is sometimes in amongst the radio equipment.
