Coupled approach?

2. Like all such systems, there is no turn anticipation.

I've never let the Century AP's fly anything but the most shallow turns.
I generally disengage the AP approaching the fix, hand-fly the turn,
then give the stick back to Otto for the next straight segment. In
fact, most of the time I just leave it in heading mode.


Not so. My Garmin 430 when coupled to the Century will anticipate, tho with
the Archer speed,that is not much. I generally let the autopilot do the turn.
At the turn I turn the heading but to the new course and let the 430 trim it
out. If the heading change is large, I sometimes do this in two steps of half
value each.
