FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
VOR/GPS Switch operation:
As soon as the NAV1 radio is tuned to a valid ILS frequency, the VOR/GPS switch
changes to VOR and the autopilot to NAV ARM mode. If a valid ILS frequency is
in range, the autopilot will follow it´s localizer beam. Valid ILS frequencies are
between 108.10 and 111.95 and the decimal part starts with an odd digit: 108.10,
108.15, 108.30, 108.35, 108.50, ..., 108.95, 109.10, 109.15, ..., 111.95
Engine Start
You need to follow the engine start procedure as described (see PDF on your CD-
ROM). CTRL-E will not work.
Panel and cabin lights (virtual cabin)
Due to limitations in Microsoft Flight Simulator, the panel instruments light and
the virtual cabin light are tied together. They can´t be operated independently.
Autopilot and ight director operation
Activation of the autopilot requires the ight director to be active. Always check
that you have turned on the ight director before activating the autopilot.
Trimble GPS airports, navaids and waypoints selection
Display of available airports, navaids and waypoints in the GPS is restricted to a
2000nm radius around your aircraft position.
Trimble GPS keyboard entry mode
If keyboard commands don´t seem to work at all, make sure SCROLL LOCK is
switched off, because all keyboard inputs will be intercepted by the GPS as long
as SCROLL LOCK IS ON.
Cold & Dark state
After loading in cold & dark state, wait some time for all engine instruments to
show zero before you begin any startup procedures. We strongly suggest load-
ing the Cheyenne from the default „Trike over Friday Harbour” situation every
time!
