5.6 autopilot Operation
The G600 is able to interface to certain autopilot systems to provide heading,
course, and navigation information in much the same was as a typical HSI.
Please refer to your particular autopilot manual for specific information and
operation instructions.
5.6.1
Heading
You are able to control your selected autopilot heading with the GDU 620 by
using the heading bug.
1) Press the
HDG
key on the PFD and turn the
PFD
knob to set the desired
heading. When the knob is turned, the Selected Heading box will appear and
remain for three seconds after the knob stops moving.
2) Engage your autopilot in heading hold mode.
3) Continue to control your selected autopilot heading by adjusting the heading
bug.

5.6.2
Altitude Capture (Optional Interface)
The altitude selector function is a separately purchased option which works
with the autopilot. At the set altitude, the autopilot will go from a Vertical Speed
Mode (a climb or descent) to an Altitude Capture mode where it will hold the
selected altitude.
1) Select the desired altitude on the GDU 620 by pressing the
ALT
key and rotating
the
PFD
knob so the Altitude bug is at the desired altitude.
2) Engage the autopilot in altitude capture mode and select the desired vertical
speed (if able) on the autopilot controller.
