Autopilot Operation
SkyView Pilot’s User Guide - Revision M
8-15
OFF
is the default setting and disables Control Wheel Steering. Setting Control Wheel
Steering to OFF does not disable the disengage or engage functions of the button.
HOLD HEADING/ALTITUDE
configures the autopilot to hold the current heading and/or
altitude when you release the button to end Control Wheel Steering mode.
LAST HEADING/ALTITUDE
configures the autopilot to return the aircraft to the heading
and/or altitude the autopilot was set to before you entered Control Wheel Steering
mode.
Note that if, Control Wheel Steering mode is active and the airspeed changes such that it is
outside the maximum and minimum limits configured for the pitch axis during installation,
releasing the Disengage/CWS Button will not re-engage the autopilot. The autopilot can only be
re-engaged when airspeed is within the acceptable range.
How to Change Autopilot Target Heading, Track, or Altitude
The SkyView Autopilot uses heading (or track), vertical speed, and altitude bugs as targets
during operation. If these bugs are adjusted when the autopilot is engaged, the Top Bar
immediately displays the new values and the autopilot immediately reacts and changes course
or altitude. If these bugs are adjusted when the autopilot is disengaged, new target values are
set and displayed in the Top Bar and the autopilot will change course and/or altitude when
engaged.
Reference the respective sections in the PFD Operation Chapter for instructions on how to
adjust these bugs.
