This is accomplished by having a much richer database than the 430. I have noticed that. I was wondering what would happen if you were flying an approach that callled for an immediate climbing turn on the missed. If the pilot didn't disengage the autopilot and was getting the plane configured for short final and all of the sudden the plane started turning. It would be especially odd for me since my plane was certified with a full time autopilot. As a result, when I press the red button on the yoke the autopilot disconnects, but when I release it, the autopilot comes back on. I did get a POH update though that allows me to pull the breaker out (which is actually how I fly most of the time local) but that means I'm flying around with a big red warning light on that I have to explain to passengers "This big red, annoying light just means teh autopilot is off". -Robert |
