Vertical Climb/Descent
The Pro Pilot also allows the pilot to select a desired climb or descent rate (i.e. VS (vertical speed), in ft.
per minute). Press the V MODE button again and:
Airspeed Capture and Control (using PCS)
During climb and descent the desired airspeed can be adjusted using the PCS (Pilot Command Steering)
mode (see page 31). After the airspeed has been captured the airspeed can be increased by rotating
the encoder clockwise, or decreased by rotating the encoder counterclockwise. This feature can be
useful to ensure adequate cooling of the engine during climb.
Altitude Pre-Select
The Pro Pilot adds the ability to climb or descend to a pre-selected a target altitude. Press V MODE to
advance to Altitude Select (ALT SEL). Rotate the encoder knob to select target altitude.
Set the desired climb or descent rate by rotating the encoder
knob. Press the encoder knob to initiate
Once the desired altitude has been achieved, press the encoder
knob again to hold that altitude.
The aircraft will climb or descend at the desired vertical rate and will
automatically level off at the target altitude.
Once the desired cimb/descent airspeed has been achieved,
release the button. Aircraft will continue to climb/decend at that
airspeed.
Set a desired climb or descent rate and enter a
target altitude. Press the encoder knob to initiate.
Set the desired climb or descent airspeed by employing the PCS
(Pilot command Steering) mode. Press/Hold the remote disconnect
button and establish the climb/descent airspeed.
