Learning to fly the E50P

[Cloudrider 4]

Hi all,

I had some strange behaviour on a Phenom flight today.
Couldn't get the speed above 130knts, could access the altitudes in the loaded flight plan, and couldn't seem to change altitude via AP although autopilot was following the plan.

Anyone got any ideas please and also good doc on learning to fly this baby. I thought I had it sussed.

Cheers

At what altitude? Climb speed should be 200kias/M.55

Sorry should have said couldn't access the altitudes in flight plan but flight plan was accessible.

Essentially, apart from the HDG and CRS inputs, all other AP functions were negated. VS, FLC, Speed and ALT all seemed to have no effect. I disengaged/ re-engaged FD to see if it would have any effect but to no avail.

I haven't been able to find any relevant doc on setting up the E50P or moreover using the FD / AP controls.

Thanks.

So I spent some time with the Carenado YouTube channel which worked out well.

But one question. When I open the G1000 FPL for the Flightplan, I have no Altitudes against my waypoints to select.

Yet the videos all show editable Altitudes.

Anyone any ideas please?

Thanks guys
