Milviz 732 Sperry 177

[Hirdy2013 104]

Anyone know if the 177 will pick up LNAV from the FMS?

 

I can't seem to get it to fly my FMS route?  If anyone knows how to operate can you let me know.

 

I have pressed LNAV on the autopilot however she doesn't intercept my next waypoint.

How do you register? Can't seem to find a link?

It's okay. I've emailed roadrunner

All good! No worries

Thanks Colin,

 

I haven't had a response yet. But anyways this aircraft rocks. Just needed to know if the 177 will fly the fms flight plan or only the GPS plan.

 

Thanks.

Everyone is sleeping still.

It will fly the FMS plan.

[Hirdy2013 104]

No probs.

 

I need to have another crack at it. Seems like the plan doesn't become active for some reason.

 

Do you load it in then above 1000ft activate autopilot with fms and Lnav?

[Milviz 919]

check the forums Hirdy... your issue is most likely already solved over there...

Do you intercept the FMS plan using the heading? A lot of autopilots need you to do that to pick it up.

Are you asking me?  Or asking Hirdy?  Sorry but it's not clear....

[HansRoaming 73]

I was asking Hirdy.

I think you have to do more than just press LNAV. There is another button and I think it's labeled 'FMS'. When you press it, it lights up with "GPS" then press it again and it says "FMS". Something like that. Then you can press LNAV. That's the way I did it anyway, and it worked. Maybe try that if you haven't??

[Hirdy2013 104]

Yeah I've tried that. I select the first DTO waypoint, get to above 1000ft, engage AP, engage FMS switch making sure FMS lights up, engage LNAV. It won't track my fms course. Weird.

Hirdy,  forums please.

I can't access them. Still no response from my email to register. Don't know where else to ask.
