I don't use auto pilot at all. Once I reach the altitude I want and trim out the speed doesn't vary. But then I mostly fly light
planes of years past. |

Hey Jester,
It depends what Aircraft your flying.... most of the jets have an AutoThrottle, so when using these, I always keep my speed in check by using the Autpilot speed controls.
Planes without an AutoThrottle (most props, but also 727, CRJ, BAe146) usually have no way of controlling speed using AutoPilot, except during descent, where the AutoPilot can limit the speed by managing the descent speed, through elevator pitch control. _________________ Dell P4 3.0Ghz, 2048Mb RAM, ATI X800 256/256Mb Grfx, 17" TFT, 15" TFT (Instruments), ATI Omega Drivers
