Figure 73 – Autopilot Hold to Engage Mode
This indicates that the servos are in hold to engage mode and are waiting for the button to be
released before engaging.
To set the hold to engage mode:
1. Go to the Hold to Engage Adjust Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP > DISENGAGE
BUTTON > HOLD TO ENGAGE).
2. Set to YES or NO.
3. Press ACCEPT to save or press CANCEL to return to the Disengage Button Menu.
Enable Broken Line Detect
The ENABLE BROKEN LINE DETECT option may be set to YES or NO. It should only be set to YES if
the optional 5 kΩ resistor is installed across the Disengage/CWS Button, as shown in Figure 64.
If the resistor is installed and this option is set to YES, SkyView continuously monitors the AP
Disengage/CWS Button circuit for proper resistance. If a broken line is detected, SkyView will
display the following message:
AP BROKEN DISCONNECT
If the autopilot is engaged when this condition is detected, it will remain engaged.
Set to YES if the optional 5 kΩ resistor is installed across the 2 terminals of the Disengage/CWS
Button. Set to NO if the resistor is not installed. Default is NO.
To set the broken line detection mode:
1. Go to the Enable Broken Line Detect Adjust Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP >
DISENGAGE BUTTON > ENABLE BROKEN LINE DETECT).
2. Set to YES or NO.
3. Press ACCEPT to save or press CANCEL to return to the Disengage Button Menu.
Control Wheel Steering Mode
Control Wheel Steering may be set to YES or NO. Setting HOLD TO ENGAGE to YES allows you to
take temporary manually control of the aircraft to redirect its targets while pressing and
holding the Disengage/CWS Button when the autopilot is engaged. See the SkyView Pilot’s User
Guide for details on Control Wheel Steering behavior. To set the control wheel steering mode:
1. Go to the Control Wheel Steering Mode Adjust Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP
> DISENGAGE BUTTON > CONTROL WHEEL STEERING MODE).
2. Set to YES or NO.
3. Press ACCEPT to save or press CANCEL to return to the Disengage Button Menu.
