Hi ya'll,
So I'm helping an RV owner friend (Mike C) who is trying to figure out why his 'new' navaid that is in his RV won't follow a GPS course.
Here's the clues:
Anyone have any advice? I've never played with one of these units (I have a trutrak AP in my plane)
So I'm helping an RV owner friend (Mike C) who is trying to figure out why his 'new' navaid that is in his RV won't follow a GPS course.
Here's the clues:
- Wing leveler works fine - though the trim knob has to be set almost all the way to the right to keep wings level.
- The 'turn' knob on the navaid works correct to turn left or right.
- The smart-coupler is getting valid GPS data as confirmed by the LED blinking correctly when engaging course or heading mode.
- When you flip the navaid switch to the left to have it start following the smart coupler, the left wing briefly drops and then it turns to a course and holds on that couse. Just never the right course ;-)
