Just a question to bring myself up to the latest.
I have a D 180, AP 74 connected to a Garmin 296. One roll servo (SV32 in my Jabiru 430.)
The GPS Nav is working well with the AP following the route beautifully till it crosses over a waypoint and then it turns and hunts to find the track crosses over it and hunts again etc. Same if I engage the Nav mode while not actually on the track. It turns abruptly, crosses the track then recrosses etc till finally on track.
From my reading it seems (maybe I have it wrong) that the mode needed to have the AP/GPS anticipate and smoothly turn onto the new track is "Roll Steering" and seems to require something called ARINC. All the sites I have read say the Garmin 430 has this capacity but I have also read sites which say you can get an ARINC adapter for other GPS's including a 496.
My quesions:
Do I have it correct regarding the need for Roll Steering and ARINC capable GPS to get the whole system to anticipate ans smooth roll onto new tracks?
Is there an adapter which will work with a 296 or is that too old technology?
