This autopilot combines the superb performance of our Digitrak with a real aircraft flight instrument, the pictorial turn coordinator. It also contains a digital DG for viewing when the AP is not engaged.  When the AP is engaged this display becomes the heading selector.  We have previously taken the position that we would not combine the turn coordinator function with an AP until we could do it right. Need we say more?

 

GPS-Slaved solid-state DG

Digital Ground Track Selector

GPS Nav Mode

    The GPS Nav Mode is used for following a programmed flight plan in a GPS.  The autopilot will fly to, intercept, and

    follow the flight plan, including turning at any waypoints that may be in the flight plan.

Magnetic Backup Mode

True Control Wheel Steering†

    True control wheel steering means that upon release of the control wheel switch, the system synchronizes

    to the direction of flight and vertical speed, in units with vertical speed select. This is the only multi-servo autopilot system

    available with this feature.

Built-in Pictorial Turn & Bank

    In contrast to the turn coordinator, the Pictorial Turn & Bank provides a display that agrees with the artificial horizon,

    and likewise the real horizon.  The dynamic performance of this display is equal to that of an artificial horizon.

Operates on 12V and 28 volts

This display is like a horizon in roll and actually moves in unison with the horizon. This makes the transition from viewing the horizon much easier than the reverse display of a standard turn coordinator. For much greater life and reliability it uses a solid state gyro instead of a spinning disc.

This is the first digital autopilot expressly designed to interface with EFIS systems. It provides dedicated, easy-to-use controls and total redundancy in case of EFIS failure.


It is designed to interface with modern systems to provide lateral and vertical steering from standard ARINC-429 digital outputs. It is capable of flying coupled precision GPS approaches as they become available.

The dedicated controls within the autopilot are designed to be quick to use and easy to understand, reducing pilot workload. Just as it is in the latest airline and top-of-the-line corporate aircraft the autopilot function in experimental aircraft is best served by a stand alone autopilot.

The performance of this family of autopilots surpasses even that of our DFC-250 which is superior to any other products available in this market.

Systems capable of producing lateral and vertical ARINC-429 steering are: EFIS Horizon (Grand Rapids Technologies), CNX80 (UPSAT), Sierra EFIS-SV (Chelton), ICDS (ARNAV), Flight OP 200 (OP Technologies).


Basic MODE
Autopilot synchronizes to track and vertical speed upon engage.

VS Select MODE
Push ALT - cursor moves to underline vertical speed, vertical speed and altitude hold are selected by rotating knob.

GPSS MODE
Push MODE to enter or leave GPS lateral steering - cursor moves and stays under SVS.

GPSS - GPSV MODE
With system already in GPSS mode, push ALT to enter or leave GPSV function.

Yaw Damper

The Yaw Damper employs a solid state
rate gyro to damp out short term yaw
oscillation, and a transverse accelerometer
to control rudder position long term, so as
to keep the ball centered.
 

The Yaw Damper can be added to the
DFC-200 or Sorcerer autopilots.

Automatic Trim

Failsafe Automatic Pitch Trim can be added
to any system with vertical speed select.
TruTrak is the only company serving the
experimental market to offer Failsafe
Automatic Pitch Trim; this ensures that a
single failure will not cause runaway trim.
 

Automatic trim can be added to the Yaw Damper.
