With digital trims you don't shut the engine off with THROTTLE TRIM. Let's set up IDLE-DOWN and "throttle cut" ( THR-CUT )
now.
GOALS of EXAMPLE
Set up IDLE-DOWN .
P. 40.
IDLE-DOWN slows the engine's idle for
landings, sitting on the runway, and
maneuvers such as spins. The normal
(higher idle) setting (when IDLE-DOWN is
off) is for engine starting, taxi, and most
THR-CUT shuts the engine off completely
P. 41.
(NOTE: DO NOT assign IDLE-DOWN and
THR-CUT to both positions of a 2position
switch. See IDLE-DOWN for details.)
( D/R , EXP ).
P. 42.
(Note that in the middle of the left
side of the screen is the name of the
channel AND the switch position you
are adjusting. Two or even THREE
rates may be set per channel by simply
c h o o s i n g t h e d e s i re d s w i t c h a n d
programming percentages with the
switch in each of its 2 or 3 positions.)
