Additional KFC300 Autopilot Operation Modes
IAS Hold mode (IAS)
The IAS HOLD mode is selected by depressing the IAS button (7) on
the KMC 340 Mode Controller. „IAS HOLD“ will be lighted on the
KAP 315 Mode Annunciator Panel and the pitch command bars will
be activated on the FCI to call pitch maneuvers necessary to maintain a
constant indicated airspeed. The reference airspeed will be the indicated
airspeed at the time of IAS HOLD engagement, and is independent of
power setting.
If the autopilot is engaged, airspeed will be automatically maintained,
while vertical speed is adjusted, and loss or gain of altitude will
depend on power setting.
The reference airspeed may be adjusted at a rate of two knots per
second by use of the Vertical Trim Knob on the KMC 340 Mode
Controller.The IAS HOLD mode is cancelled by selection of GO-
AROUND, ALT HOLD, SPD PRF, Glideslope capture or FLT DIR off.
