AP Emergency functions

Post by maniago »

Is there a way to bring up the Emergency functions when the AP has been on for a while, not just when its initially engaged? I didnt get any hits on search for this, or any clues in the various manuals....Hx, HXr, AP....

Reasoning: I found myself blundering into a cloud layer the other day while on AP and I was heads-down, and wanted an immediate 180 turn, but turning off the AP then back on to get these functions didnt cut it when doing 200kts. I did it manually, but it would have been nicer to slap a button and then use the brain-bytes figuring out what just happened while the plane was doing the 180.

Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

No, the 180 button is only on the A/P Engage menu and we haven't added another way to access it.

Ok thanks Jeff.

Of course you know the next qu...can you add it to the list of things to do, maybe on the right side buttons as a double button simultaneous push?
