With this lower-cost KAP 200 control system option,
King offers you basic Autopilot-only flight capability.
An air driven, panel-mounted KG 258 Vertical
Gyro replaces the V-bar Flight Command Indicator in
this system. There are no Flight Director “V-bar” com-
puted commands or “Go-Around’’ modes.
A KC 292 Mode Controller replaces the KC 290
used in the KFC 200 System. The KC 292 has a servo
trim indicator in place of the KC 290’s Flight Director
button.
When there is no mode selected and the abtd-
pilot is engaged, the basic Autopilot mode is wings
level and pitch attitude hold. All the modes described
for the KFC
200,
with the exception of GO-AROUND,
are included in the KAP 200 system.
Thus, with the exceptions of the Flight Director
and GO-AROUND mode, the affordable KING KAP200
system retains the most desirable features of the
KFC
200
system. These include Pictorial Navigation
Indicator, complete mode annunciation and workload
reducing operational modes.
