Simviation Forums

This aircraft was fitted with a Smiths MK.9 autopilot.
Having flown thousands of miles in one I would like to keep the flight authentic regards to what it is capable of.
It has ( in the sim) an approach mode that I have no idea how to use.
Google seems to be of little help and I hope your learned selves will enlighten me http://205.252.250.26/yabbfiles24/Templ ... smiley.gif

Hi Roger,
Did you see that in the Docs folder there is a PDF document HP67 Hastings Notes.pdf -- with a specific section on 'Using the Autopilot' ?

Looking at it - it looks well written and states Read the instructions carefully if you are not used to old autopilots:

The author, Jens Kristensen, is a very professional FS aircraft designer. 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, I did read the notes and was curious as to what freq to tune to in approach mode, vor, ndb etc.
I will use a local airport, East Midlands, set up an approach and experiment.
I must show my appreciation to the creator(s) for an excellent piece of work, love it.
Keeps you busy, landing an aircraft that would normally require three human inputs

Locked on to the ILS and landed, didn't realise the a/p of that era could do that.
Live and learn!
