Heading Select (HDG) Mode

In the heading mode, the

autopilot will fly a selected heading.
The following steps should be taken
to operate in the heading mode:

1. Move the heading “bug” to

the desired heading on the DG or
HSI using the Heading Select knob.

2. Engage autopilot - Press AP.

For software version 03/01 and later,
the AP button must be pressed and
held for 0.25 seconds to engage the
autopilot.

3. Depress the HDG button on

the KAP 140 to engage the heading
select mode. The autopilot will turn
the aircraft in the shortest direction
to intercept and fly the heading.

4. If you move the heading

“bug” again while the heading select
mode is engaged, the autopilot will
immediately turn the aircraft in the
direction of the newly selected head-
ing.

5. Press HDG button again and

the autopilot will return to the ROL
mode.
