Hello everyone, I'm having some issues with "NAV" and "APR" modes. The issue is that it never shows the "ARM" status, but only shows the "green" status, even when the mode is not active yet. For example:
I'm on HDG mode, and far away from me I have a GPS track that I want to intercept. When I press NAV mode, it shows directly as green, even though I'm still in HDG mode and not following or intercepting the track yet. It shows HDG and NAV being "active" at the same time.
Shouldn't be showing ARM until it's close to the track and the interception starts? And then NAV in green when is actually following the track?
Same with ILS, you don't know when the APR is actually engaged or not, you don't get that feedback.
The GTN 750 integrated autopilot indeed shows when these modes are "Armed" and when they are actually "Active". For contrast, the TBM autopilot shows the 2 modes as active, and nothing armed.
Worth to say that I'm using the appropriate CDI Source for each scenario, and that the autopilot captures and follows GPS, VOR and ILS signals just fine. Is there any logic I'm missing? Does anyone else have experienced this?
I appreciate any help, many thanks!!
