Is there anyone on here who can advise on the degree of 'coupling' achievable between a legacy (= 'kin ancient) Piper Autocontrol 111 (wing leveller) autopilot and a Garmin GNS 430W please?
Our autopilot has recently been repaired and functions well in what I'd call 'basic' heading mode and will intercept/track a VOR radial but won't 'follow' a procedural approach (like an ILS.)
The Garmin displays the usual countdowns ( 'turn L to 160 degr in 10,9,8, etc seconds) but does not take up the displayed heading.
I pers have never seen it do this (I've always just used it in Hdg or VOR radial mode) and wonder if I'm expecting too much from this ancient bit of kit.
Opinions welcome.
Many thanks
Peter
