SETTING UP THE S-TEC 55X AUTOPILOT
Avidyne recommends setting up your autopilot target bugs before
takeoff.
The keyboard has a dedicated knob along the bottom edge for
Altitude and another for Heading. When integrated with a S-TEC
55X autopilot, the knob on the autopilot control head becomes
your dedicated Vertical Speed control.
Note: This is a change from previous Entegra systems.
Setting up the Autopilot
Designed primarily for speed, the keyboard knobs for Heading
and Altitude have several useful behaviors. Rotating the knobs
results in coarse control of that bug. For example, coarse control
for Altitude means that each click of the Altitude knob changes
the Altitude bug incrementally by 500’ (or 100 meters). Coarse
control of Heading means that each click of the Heading knob
changes the Heading bug incrementally by 10 degrees. In each
case, pushing the knob and rotating it activates fine control (100’
increments for altitude and 1 degree increments for heading).
