Re: VNAV capture

This is puzzling. I presume you 'armed' the approach in the GRT menu, then 'execute'. When it failed to capture the GS did you try 'VERT' in the grt menu, to force it to engage? Or have you tried an ILS? Something is off somewhere. Yes, quite puzzling. I am quite confident that I have all the butto...

Re: VNAV capture

VS is misleading... (not vertical speed) The annunciation stands for GPS Vertical Steering. Across the bottom of the Vizion you will see: GPSS VS Its indicates that the "Vertical Navigation signal is present" TruTrak uses SVS for a pilot selected vertical speed, so you would see something ...

Re: VNAV capture

TruTrak say I have everything setup correctly. I am in GPSS and VS. HXr Annunciator fields are all correct.

Re: VNAV capture

Thanks Bob. Good explanation of the RS-232 connection. I flew the approach again yesterday and watched all of the GRT and GTN annunciations throughout the approach. All were correct and sequenced correctly. I did two approaches one with the flight director and one with the needles and both times the...

Re: VNAV capture

Ahhh. Good stuff Bob. Thanks. In the GTN650 manual it does list LNAV/VNAV approaches and uses the annunciation: L/VNAV. It uses LNAV+V for those approaches (where vertical "guidance is only provided". I will fly this again using your tips and report back. I had flown it just drilling along...

Re: VNAV capture

Hi Bob, I loaded the RNAV (GPS) RWY 3 at IMS (Madison, IN) using the 1321 LNAV/VNAV mins. Shouldn't I have vertical path guidance for this approach? I saw the yellow cdi needles on both axis' but no capture.

VNAV capture

My RV7 has an HXr, GTN650,and a TruTrak Vizion A/P. All software is current. When I load, activate, then execute a Lnav/Vnav approach, I capture the Lnav course fine but the aircraft flies through the Vnav path, maintaining the last altitude hold and does not descend on path. All of the Autopilot pr...
