Schlomo1933 Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 Does the Autopilot chanel for Altitude realy switch off in irl when then the collective is moved or the collective brake is pushed ? i believe the chanel is only switched to „standby“ while the collective brake is pushed and the collective is moved. after this it Switches to back to on. 1

Same thing for the Mi-8 IIRC. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk
WarbossPetross Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 The official manual for Ka-50 says the collective brake temporarily disengages the Alt Hold mode in order to set the new reference altitude, i.e. much the same as the cyclic trim function, only difference being that the cyclic trim actually works as intended. I guess this is the function of the codebase inherited by all other choppers all the way from Ka-50. Won't be surprised if the Apache won't have it as well. 1
AlphaOneSix Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Mi-8 and Mi-24 altitude hold does in fact turn off completely when the collective brake is pressed, and must be reengaged after moving the collective and setting the new desired altitude.

Schlomo1933 Posted September 22, 2021 Author Posted September 22, 2021 And why? This makes not much sense for me…. Maybe u can explain this. because the yaw Chanel also don’t Switch off, it goes only to standby when you put pressure on the pedals
AlphaOneSix Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 I don't know why, that's just the way it is.
Schlomo1933 Posted September 23, 2021 Author Posted September 23, 2021 From where is this text. Could you give me a link please? Looks interesting
AlphaOneSix Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 It's the service manual for the autopilot, I'm not sure it's available online. I have it in print for work.
Schlomo1933 Posted September 28, 2021 Author Posted September 28, 2021 Could you scan and mail me the manual please?
