KAP140 & Honeycomb Bravo: Autopilot forced on

Featured Replies

I've got a very nasty problem with the Honeycomb Bravo Quadrant: Autopilot is forced on in all aircraft equipped with the KAP140. It's impossible to turn it off.
Happens with the default C172, Milviz Porter, Milviz C310 and probably others.
With the C310, I can pull the AP circuit breaker, but that's not a smart solution.
I've searched a fix on various forums to no avail.

Any idea?
Thx!

Try the KAP 140 Mod. Feedback says it fixes your specific problem.

Thank you both.
No, the mod doesn't help.

But I've just found a fix! 😃
The mode selector on the Bravo must be set to ALT and then the AP is disengaged. (probably one of the numerous remaining bugs with the Bravo)
Hope it will help others.

Unfortunately I also own a Bravo and Honeycomb has done very little to make a useful program to make the Bravo easy to program. The Aerosoft program is garbage!

I'm going to think long and hard before purchasing another Honeycomb product myself.

I'm fully aware it is not all their fault but they could at least do a much better job at creating a utility to prgram the throttle and issuing updates to it to keep it working correctly.!

I very much agree.
Honeycomb products are not cheap although not first class quality (2 switches don't work anymore after 6 months), and their support is nonexistent.
