Track

In order to fly some desired track course the Track action is selected from
the menu. A window with track direction input is shown on Figure 88. The
default value of the input window is always current track. If active screen also
shows the heading bug, the bug is adjusted as well.
If the autopilot was not active before selecting new track the the roll servo
motor will be automatically enabled after the track is confirmed. Otherwise,
the autopilot will try to follow desired track while changing values on the
input window.
The autopilot will always turn the airplane in the direction which is closer to
the current track. When a change for more than 180 is made in one direction,
the autopilot will turn the aircraft in opposite direction. The maximum roll
angle of the turn is selected in autopilot setup menu. See Autopilot Installation
Manual for reference.
