Redfisher 0 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 What would cause the autopilot switch not to engage? I made one flight and it worked. I tried another flight and after take-off it wouldn't engage. Thanks in advance, Hylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrows 7 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 This is the reason why real pilots use checklists. Simpilots are not forced to use them, but make sense, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Comhaire 27 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi, Yes the YAW dampers are an integral part of the autopilot system, they have to be ON for the autopilot to work. Björn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
