No, there is no required position on that panel to engage route mode. That panel is only related to controlling the gyros, not the AP. Route mode works in all 3 switch positions.
Tarres Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Thanks. So the Greben is used in this way: Copilot set Magvar in the KM-2. Pilot set the Greben in tune position, set latitude and synch the gyros with the latitude amd magvar settings. PIlot set the Greben in Oper positon and select the mode: Gyro as primary mode, MK as magnetic if needed.

Tarres Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 The mi-24D or 35 flight manuals and ka-32 civilian that uses the same system. I’m struggling with the Zk/HDG position. We need an updated manual….

I assume an updated manual is a long ways off (but it's coming). Luckily we have sources like yours. And many other Russian aircraft that use nearly identical equipment. And theory which also applies to the western versions... Edited October 20, 2021 by randomTOTEN
Tarres Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Nevermind it’s only the need of knowledge…. I always try to understand these systems to fly it as IRL.
