Note: Always select the navigation
course pointer to the localizer front
course. (This course will be opposite
helicopter heading when inbound on
a back course approach.)
2. When the computed capture point
is reached, the Approach mode is
automatically activated and a right
turn outbound on the localizer is
commanded by the flight director and
satisfied by the autopilot.
Note: The KFC 500 Autopilot/Flight
Director will only maintain one pitch
mode at a time: Pitch Attitude Hold,
Altitude Hold, Vertical Speed Hold,
Go Around, Indicated Airspeed Hold,
or Glideslope. Airspeed or vertical
rate must be maintained by the pilot
via the collective.
3. Prior to the procedure turn, the
heading bug is positioned to 135°
which is the 45° initial procedure turn
heading. At the point where the pro-
cedure turn is to be initiated, depress
the HDG pushbutton to engage
Heading Select mode and the autopi-
lot will turn the aircraft to the direction
of the heading bug (135°).
During the procedure turn out-
bound, the deviation bar shows pic-
torially the helicopter flying away
from the localizer centerline at a 45°
angle.
