Andrew,
The DG is merely
providing HEADING information (ie. the setting of the bug).
And that is autopilot specific.
Apparently.
We had to get a certain model of
Sigmatek DG for it to work with the STEC-50.
I was told by a person that installs STECs for us that the STEC can be
"configured" to work with different DGs. He didn't say "all different",
though. We're upgrading from ARC units: Navomatic 300As. According to
him, we merely specify this when we purchase a new STEC.
Also, we now switched to
another model, which also delivers bootstrap heading info like a remote
compass would. We need that for the WX-500 we installed.
Ah, this is something I didn't understand. What is "bootstrap heading
info", and how does the WX-500 (whatever that is {8^) use it? We've a
strikefinder in our aircraft. Does that mean we need "bootstrap heading
info"?
