CENTURY 2000
OPERATING TECHNIQUES
In the pages that follow, we have included techniques for:
VOR Navigation
VOR Approaches
Localizer Approaches
Glideslope Arming & Coupling
Localizer Back Course
Note: The Century 2000 autopilot is capable of tracking lateral information
from a loran or GPS. Several factors in procedure and operation are important
to remember. Adjust the course width (CDI sensitivity) of the loran or GPS to
insure it is not too wide or too narrow (represented as nautical miles per dot). A
course width too wide would cause the autopilot to S-turn back and forth along
the desired track. Too narrow would cause the autopilot to be overly sensitive
to CDI movement. When tracking a desired waypoint, the bearing information
will be displayed on the loran or GPS. This bearing information must be
inputted into the autopilot through either the heading bug (when using a DG) or
the course arrow (when using an HSI) in order for the autopilot to track properly.

Display 1000 (NSD 1000) as the HSI and the standard Directional Gyro. The
techniques are equally applicable to other compass systems.
