autopilot all over the place

[briansommers 74]

I'm flying the B1900D with Sp1 and the mods from Bert for after sp1

Also, Avidyne off and installed RXP 530

 

So I was shooting the 19L ILS (110.1/191) at KIAD

 

and the it wouldn't keep up with the G/S and was off center as well.

 

Just a real hot mess. Ended up taking me in real high. 

 

anyone else?

It's not exactly the most responsive system when it comes to correcting and certainly incorporates a unique way of, finally, getting lined up (LOC). But the GS issue might well be a problem of too high approach speeds. Well, that's how it works here since I never saw the AP being able to close a vertical gap in time. So don't cause one in the first place. ^_^

 

If you want to come in faster or slow down just before the runway, hand flying is the only (and fun) solution.

Brian,

You mention "mods from Bert for after sp1". Where do I find them.

Thanks.

Hello SC1:

 

Bert is Bert Pieke.

Probably the best idea to get these mods is to PM him.
