July 18, 200520 yr Can anyone tell me what exactly does APR ARM mean when I first press APR and then HDG on the autopilot panel in the Flight1 C172? Thank you.
July 18, 200520 yr Whoa, pretty advanced for a cessna 172. Anyway, it means that the autopilot is now in approach mode, meaning the autopilot will follow the heading you set until the localizer becomes active, at which point it will turn final and line up with the runway.Jeff Jeff Commercial | Instrument | Multi-Engine Land AMD 5600X, RTX3070, 32MB RAM, 2TB SSD
July 18, 200520 yr APR mode is for ILS (Instrument Landing System) approaches and together with the localizer capture it also activates Glide Slope mode which is the altitude control on final.

I don't understand why that is'nt mentioned in the Flight1 documentation. Thank you.

I just did'nt understand what the ARM setting is supposed to do.
