Hi,
After 4years working just fine my Autopilot remote disconnect button has stopped working. The A/P works and disconnects just fine from the twin D1000's in the panel but not when I press the remote button.
When the button is pressed with the autopilot engaged I get a 'Pitch Slip' indication. If I press again the disconnect button I get 'Roll Slip' indication. If I then hold the button for a couple of seconds I get both a 'Pitch Slip' and 'Roll Slip' indication which then changes to 'Slip Trim Nose Down' indication but the autopilot does not disconnect.
Anyone had similar to this and thoughts on if this a Config problem in the D1000's or a Button Switch/Resistor problem?
My initial thoughts are that actual button must be ok or I wouldn't be getting any indications at all.
Thanks,
Alan.
