I tried to find a previous thread on this...apologies if I missed it...
Configuration - RV-8 with 430W, GRT Horizon HX and TruTrak Digiflight II VSG
I'm looking to shoot an RNAV LPV with a vector to final
Initial conditions - 430W is loaded with the appropriate transition (can later select vectors if needed). Flying the appropriate heading with the Lateral autopilot set to heading (GRT is driving the TruTrak).
Question is from here...You get the "turn right to heading XXX maintain 5,000 until established cleared RNAV XX"
Besides turning to the heading...what do I need to select on the GRT to have the autopilot:
1. Intercept the inbound GPS course
2. Capture the Glidepath
Things to do:
Arm the approach - different from ILS?
Hit execute
If I switch to GNAV from heading mode ... what will I expect?
Do I need to activate a segment of the approach on the 430W
If someone has a checklist they've created that would be awesome if you can share it!
Thanks
