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!
