Auto Pilot Back Tracking?
Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2020 5:13 am
I have the GRT Hx EFIS and GRT auto pilot installed. It had been running nicely for a couple of years. Couple days ago, I was flying along a preset flight path with auto-pilot engaged (ENAV). As I approach one of the way points (say way point X), I have to disengage the autopilot and deviate from my preset flight path due to traffic avoidance. Once the traffic was cleared, I already passed Way point X. I flew back on course with Way point X already behind me. I re-engage my auto-pilot to resume the preset flight path, the auto-pilot keep wanting to turn the plane back toward Way Point X. Any suggestion on how to re-engage my auto-pilot to ignore the WP behind me and the continue with the preset flight path shall be appreciated. Thanks!
