Altitude hold help

[aerostar 42]

There's a limit to how much detail I'm willing to provide, after all this is my profession... building training systems with this knowledge.

 

However...

 

Yes, it will follow altitude restrictions.  No, it doesn't have an autothrottle.  The Pro Line 21 will alert the pilot 1 minute before it needs to either climb or descend so that the pilot can prepare.  As for 'too steep'.  It's all based on angles and the FMS knows if you're exceeding it's limits and tells you.  You might see a message like "UNABLE NEXT ALT" on the FMS.  Your impression regarding aircraft capabilities... I have no idea where you would get that from.  I've never heard such a statement.

 

PTCH mode captures current pitch and maintains it until needing to level off to capture an altitude.

 

Don't expect Carenado to make all of this happen.  They haven't the experience needed to accomplish it.

 

 

Thanks very much  WarpD... it's really good of you to share this and that does clear up a few of my 'question marks'.
