I have a skyview touch PFD and the Dynon AP coupled to a Garmin gtn650. I was being vectored onto the final for the ILS. As soon as I tuned the ils freq in the Garmin and hit the obs button to have it pick up the ils, my cdi turned green and I saw the offset in the right direction. As I was getting close to the final ?turn to intercept? radio call, the middle section of the CDI that shows the deflection went away. I had the AP on heading > LOC mode so that it would capture the localizer and make the turn inbound, but since it went away, I blew through the final approach course. Once in the other side of it it picked it up again and turned me back inbound.
This same thing happened twice on the same approach, once while established. On that one, the AP mode switched to trk instead of LOC and I had to hit the nav button again to have it follow the LOC. Both of these instances happened between 10-15 miles out. Surely that isn?t too far for the loc to pick up. Both times I was also picking up the GS.
