Success!!! Super Thank You
After reading the post this morning, couldn't wait to get to airport
and jump in Pearl to go try recommendations. I flew exactly as I did on Friday, approach IAF from NNW, loaded the approach in 650 and activated, armed the EFIS as shown in pic above hit exit. Yellow activate button present but now in GNAV, plane turned toward IAF, flew the tear drop and when we straightened out on final I hit the activate button. Flew the approach perfect. Thanks to everyone for the help with this lack of knowledge. Just shows the power of the Vans Forum Jerry and Bob thank you very much for the explanations and help. Now I can get on with the training. Below shot of Pearl sitting in front of hanger at Hooks in Houston on recent trip. Thanks a Million!!! ![]() |

Big picture scenario we discovered was the plane would depart a selected altitude even if not directed. In other words it would just descend whether you told it to or not. It did happen on an actual flight so not out of the realm in busy IFR world. It was 100% repeatable. Many discussions about it, but an autopilot should never do something that would get you violated or worse with no pilot input. Hence, the a/p now will not fly away from a selected without the pilot giving it permission. The autopilot will not capture from above, nor will a controller direct you to. |
