Currently if you press the AP button is will level the wings and hold the current vertical speed. You must then set the vertical speed to zero using the knob on the AP. We have asked Trutrak to modify the software to make it always set the vertical speed to zero when you press the AP button.

could this be incorporated into the efis? having the vertical speed set to a default of 0? and heading set to current heading

The Vizion 385 ap is out.
can it replace the afs AP?
Alan
The interface on the Vision 385 should be the same as the AF-Pilot and should work.

Does the Vizion 385 come in a 2.25in size? Seems that if you have a standard 2.25 in cutout you can only get the Vizion 380, and no GPS steering. Correct?

john,
do you see any advantage of upgrading fom the afs ap?

Well as a stand alone unit it is very capable. Other than the wings level feature, not sure..

john,
i'm also not sure if it is worth doing .
except in an egis failure it can do more than the afs.
