AUTO PILOT INSTRUCTIONS.

The Auto Pilot is not made to climb or descend but for straight and level flying only.
When you are at the desired altitude turn on A/p Master switch and also compass switch on the standby switch must be off for the A/p to hold course and altitude.
Turn on the Standby switch when you wont to change your altitude and turn it off when your new altitude is reached and the plane will level out.
To adjust your heading with A/p active use the Zero Adj switch, click on the "+" symbal on the right side of the switch to turn right, or the "-" symbal to the left of the switch to turn to the left.

Sometimes half of the A/p Master switch will dissapear from view but it still works ok, it is a fault in the gauge it self.
