The autopilot system is composed of the following elements:
- Flybox Oblò P.A.
- Autopilot Control Unit (A.C.U.)
- Two digital servos for 2-axis control.
Control Unit (A.C.U.):
The autopilot control unit serves as an interface between the instrument and the servos, with quick and easy controls.
Simply press the appropriate button and turn the dial to select altitude or heading/tracking.
A bright green LED clearly indicates when the unit is operating.
When the autopilot is activated, the corresponding buttons for the operating mode will light up.
The three modes of operation are:
HDG / TRK: Heading and Tracking, Horizontal navigation.
NAV : follows a GOTO or a Flight Plan from an external GPS.
ALT : keep an altitude, climb or descend to a preselected altitude
It also includes an automatic course reversal feature, useful for example if you inadvertently enter IMC conditions and need to immediately reverse direction.
For quick operation, there are two separate buttons for selecting the heading/travel (HDG/TRK) and altitude.
The control unit is available in a vertical or horizontal version.
