KAP 140 Single Axis Operation
The KAP 140 is a high-performance digital, panel-mounted autopilot sys-
tem for light aircraft.
1. AUTOPILOT ENGAGE/DISEN-
GAGE (AP) BUTTON - When
pushed, engages autopilot if all logic
conditions are met. The autopilot
will engage in the basic roll (ROL)
mode which functions as a wing lev-
eler. When pressed again, will disen-
gage the autopilot. For software ver-
sion 03/01 and later, the AP button
must be pressed and held for 0.25
seconds to engage the autopilot.
2. ROLL AXIS (R) ANNUNCIATION
- When illuminated, indicates failure
of the roll axis and will disengage the
autopilot and not allow engagement.
3. HEADING (HDG) MODE SELEC-
TOR BUTTON - When pushed, will
select the Heading mode, which
commands the airplane to turn to
and maintain the heading selected
by the heading bug on either the DG
or HSI. A new heading may be
selected at any time and will result in
the airplane turning to the new head-
ing. Button can also be used to tog-
gle between HDG and ROL modes.
This button will engage the autopilot
in units with software prior to soft-
ware version 03/01.
4. NAVIGATION (NAV) MODE
SELECTOR BUTTON - When
pushed, will arm the navigation
mode. The mode provides auto-
matic beam capture and tracking of
VOR, LOC or GPS as selected for
presentation on the HSI or CDI.
NAV mode is recommended for
enroute navigation tracking.
