I'm not sure what is happening... but when i turn the AP master switch on the plane radicly increases altitude like the world is blowing up!!! Cool Roll Eyes when i set the altitude in the AP it dosnt do as i say.... nor does it take the correct heading or speed... Huh now maybe im just crazy or not really sure how to use AP (which i dont, never do unless i'm doing somthing else at the same time) at all!!! Undecided is anyone else having this problem or am i just paranoid??!!?? Cheesy

Hi,

I'm starting to learn the whole navigation stuff also and I had the same problem with the AP. On your vertical speed indicator check the mark at point 1 in the picture. it has to be on 0 elevation. You do that with the adjusting knob at point 2 in the picture. Click on the left portion of it to bring the marker down.

Let me know if this was your problem.

After the AP is activated, make sure the Altidude Hold, Speed hold, Heading Hold, etc. are activated also.
