About  Trutrak  and  your  Vizion  autopilot  

Thank  you  for  purchasing  this  Trutrak  product.    At  Trutrak,  we  

strive  to  provide  the  highest  quality  avionics  and  autopilots  available  
in   the   Experimental   &   Light   Sport   Aviation   markets.     The   team   at  
TruTrak   are   not   only   committed   to   quality,   but   to   industry   leading  
customer  service  and  support.  

We  believe  that  the  Vizion  is  the  best  stand-­‐alone  autopilot  that  

we  have  ever  created.    This  is  no  small  accomplishment  considering  

the   huge   success   of   the   Digiflight   II   product   line.     The   Vizion  
capitalizes  on  the  simple  user  interface  and  supreme  flight  dynamics  
that  were  established  by  the  Digiflight  II.  

Your   new   Vizion   autopilot   was   created   with   both   the   VFR   and  

IFR   pilot   in   mind.     The   new   Emergency   Level   Mode   was   designed  
primarily   for   the   VFR   pilot   that   inadvertently   finds   himself   in   IMC.    

The   operation   of   the   Altitude   Select   and   Altitude   Preselect   Modes  
were  designed  to  be  extremely  useable  and  useful  in  IFR  flight,  even  
to  the  extent  that  an  Altitude  Select  can  be  entered  and  the  vertical  
speed   is   easily   adjusted   to   any   desired   value.     This   feature   is  
extremely   useful   when   initiating   approaches   or   during   step   down  
approaches.  

Please   read   this   manual   carefully   and   get   to   know   your   new  

autopilot.    The  operation  of  the  Vizion  is  similar  to  Digiflight  II,  but  
there  are  many  new  modes  with  changes  in  user  interface.
