Cpt. Alvarez

Okay, I figured it out (partly). I can set the altitude on the AP panel, the F406 then starts climbing at 1000 ft/min on its own and automatically captures the altitude. I have no idea what I did differently from last time, but it works. Well, then I have to revise my answer from yesterday: To my knowledge, there is no altitude select input in the cockpit. Edit: changed "altitude select button" to "altitude select input"

As far as I know, you can only do this using the GTN 650s “Autopilot” function (found under “Utilities”).

Hi folks, I can't get the AP to capture the target altitude. I'm using the PMS 650 and the Logitech AP panel, which both work, except for the altitude. It doesn't matter which mode I use. 'Alt Sel' is active, but the autopilot doesn't level off at the selected altitude, regardless of whether 'Auto Arm' or 'Manual Arm' is selected. I also disconnected the panel, but that didn't help. Otherwise, I have no problems. The AP follows GPS and heading (I haven't tried ILS and RNAV yet).
