The Kap 150 Autopilot System - Honeywell KFC 150 Pilot's Manual

THE KAP 150 AUTOPILOT SYSTEM
The KAP 150 is a high-performance
digital, panel-mounted autopilot system for
singles and twins.
While the KAP 150 doesn't include a
flight director as found in the KFC 150, it is
a highly capable two-axis autopilot system
which is in most respects identical to the
autopilot portion of the KFC 150.
Because the KAP 150 doesn't include
a flight director, it uses a standard attitude
reference without V-bar commands. This is
the KG 258 Horizon Reference Indicator.
The standard magnetic heading sys-
tem used with the KAP 150 is the King KG
107 Directional Gyro which can be installed
with a CDI of your choice. The KG 107 is
not a slaved system, which means the gyro
must be adjusted periodically to correct for
precession.
I
The KG 107 displays aircraft magnetic
heading. Radio navigation course informa-
tion must be read from the associated CDI
to monitor the horizontal navigation results
of autopilot control movements.
To monitor the vertical navigation
results of autopilot control movements dur-
ing an ILS approach, cross-check the
glideslope on the CDI.
NOTE: It is possible to obtain a combined
presentation of heading, radio navigation
course and glideslope information with the
optional KI 525A Pictorial Navigation
Indicator (PNI). The KI 525A is part of the
KCS 55A Slaved Compass System which is
available as an option to replace the stan-
dard KG 107. (If you are unfamiliar with the
operation of a Pictorial Navigation Indicator
(PNI) you should stop here and review the
section of the KCS 55A Compass System
on Page 95.)
