GENERAL
The Cessna 200A Navomatic is an all electric, single-axis (aileron
control) autopilot system that provides added lateral and directional
stability. Components are a computer-amplifier, a turn coordinator, an
aileron actuator, and a course deviation indicator(s) incorporating a
localizer reversed (BC) indicator light
Roll and yaw motions of the airplane are sensed by the turn coordina-
tor gyro. The computer-amplifier electronically computes the necessary
correction and signals the actuator to move the ailerons to maintain the
airplane in the commanded lateral attitude.
The 200A Navomatic will also capture and track a VOR or localizer
course using signals from a VHF navigation receiver.
The operating controls for the Cessna 200A Navomatic are located on
the front panel of the computer-amplifier, shown in Figure 1. The primary
function pushbuttons (DIR HOLD, NAV CAPT, and NAV
TRK),
are
interlocked so that only one function can be selected at a time. The HI SENS
and BACK CRS pushbuttons are not interlocked so that either or both of
these functions can be selected at any time.
