One of the things I have trouble keeping track of is the darn AP Heading Hold setting. Is it ON? Is it OFF? I lose track of this sometimes and find myself fighting with the aircraft while I'm trying to align the reticle to launch ordinance.
The only way I know of to check the setting is to pan down and look at the button. Is there nothing on the HUD, HSI, warning lights, or somewhere that I can glance at without panning the view?
It seems odd that altimiter hold has a warning light but not heading hold. How do you guys keep track of this?
Cheers,
Ken
