Goose AP

[palmer180]

I love the Goose - but am having trouble with the AP. What do the NAV and HDG buttons on the AP link to? NAV doesn't liink to the GPS and I don't see an adjustable heading bug for HDG...? I'm sure there's something obvious I'm missing here..

Thank you, Mr. Lyons - what a lovely bird.

A lot of people have had AP problems in the Goose. I think there are several posts relating to it here in this forum. I do not recall if there is a fix. Perhaps someone who was successful will chime in here.

Shift 2 for Navstack and A/P
VC ADJ MAIN ALT.
ADJ turns the aircraft + or - if in AP HDG.
No bug. Just read the panel heading indicator and roll out on desired heading.
MAIN turns the AP off or on. All functions off or on.
ALT turns the ALT/AP off or on.
Need to go back to Navstack for altitude changes.

I've used the GPS in A/P.
Flight Planner depart/dest/ alt.
If desired, course changes by mousing the course line to waypoint, airfield, VOR etc. Save as Flight Plan.
Select NAV on the Navstack A/P.
ADJ not functional if in A/P NAV.

FYI: X Garmin 1000 allows waypoints to be created.
Stick it and click it.

Thanks. I STILL can't get the AP to track the GPS but I am able to track a heading so thanks for that. Shouldn't be flying this old bird on AP anyway right?

FSAviator recently came out with some adjustments to the Goose.

I have not had a chance to experiment with it, and I don't know if this will help, but you may want to check it out.
