AP Emergency functions
Posted: Fri Jan 03, 2025 1:36 pm
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.
