KAP140 Functions

 

 

KAP 140 Two Axis with Altitude Preselect Operation

The KAP 140 is a digital, panel-mounted autopilot system for light aircraft. 

1. PITCH AXIS, (P) ANNUNCIATOR
   When illuminated, indicates failure of the pitch axis and will disengage the autopilot when the failure occurs and not allow engagement of the pitch axis. 
2. AUTOPILOT ENGAGE/DISENGAGE (AP) BUTTON
   When pushed, engages the autopilot if all logic conditions are met. The autopilot will engage in the basic roll (ROL) mode which functions as a wing leveler and in the vertical speed (VS) hold mode. The commanded vertical speed is displayed in the upper right corner of autopilot display area for three seconds after engagement or if either the UP or DN button is pressed. The captured VS will be the vertical speed present at the moment of AP button press. When pressed again, will disengage the autopilot. For software version 03/01 and later, the AP button must be pressed and held for 0.25 seconds to engage the autopilot. 
3. ROLL AXIS (R) ANNUNCIATOR
   When illuminated, indicates failure of the roll axis and will disengage the autopilot and not allow engagement. 
4. HEADING (HDG) MODE SELECTOR BUTTON
   When pushed, will arm the Heading mode, which commands the airplane to turn to and maintain the heading selected by the heading bug on either the DG or HSI. A new heading may be selected at any time and will result in the airplane turning to the new heading. Button can also be used to toggle between HDG and ROL modes. This button will engage the autopilot in units with software prior to software version 03/01. 
5. NAVIGATION (NAV) MODE SELECTOR BUTTON
   When pushed, will arm the navigation mode. The mode provides automatic beam capture and tracking of VOR, LOC or GPS as selected for presentation on the HSI or CDI. NAV mode is recommended for enroute navigation tracking. NAV mode may also be used for front course LOC tracking when GS tracking is not desired.
6. APPROACH (APR) MODE SELECTOR BUTTON
   When pushed, will arm the Approach mode. This mode provides automatic beam capture and tracking of VOR, GPS, LOC, and Glideslope (GS) on an ILS, as selected for presentation on the HSI or CDI. APR mode is recommended for instrument approaches.
7. BACK COURSE APPROACH (REV) MODE SELECTOR BUTTON
   When pushed, will arm the Back Course approach mode. This mode functions similarly to the approach mode except that the autopilot response to LOC signals is reversed, and GS is disabled.
8. ALTITUDE HOLD (ALT) MODE SELECT BUTTON
   When pushed, will select the Altitude Hold mode. This mode provides tracking of the reference altitude. The reference altitude is the altitude at the moment the ALT button is pressed. If the ALT button is pressed with an established VS rate present, there will be altitude overshoot (approximately 10% of the VS rate), with the airplane returned positively to the reference altitude. This button will engage the autopilot in units with software prior to software version 03/01.
9. VERTICAL TRIM (UP/DN) BUTTONS
   The action of these buttons is dependent upon the vertical mode present when pressed. If VS mode is active, the initial button stroke will bring up the commanded vertical speed in the display. Subsequent immediate button strokes will increment the vertical speed commanded either up or down at the rate of 100 ft/min per button press, or at the rate of approximately 300 ft/min per second if held continuously. If ALT mode is active, incremental button strokes will move the altitude hold reference altitude either up or down at 20 feet per press, or if held continuously will command the airplane up or down at the rate of 500 ft/min, synchronizing the altitude hold reference to the actual airplane altitude upon button release.
   
   (Note that the altitude hold reference is not displayed. The display will continue to show the altitude alerter reference.)
10. ROTARY KNOBS
    Used to set the altitude alerter reference altitude; or may be used immediately after pressing the BARO button, to adjust the autopilot baro setting to match that of the airplane’s altimeter when manual adjustment is required. (In some installations the baro setting is automatically synced to that of the altimeter.)
11. BARO SET (BARO) BUTTON
    When pushed and released, will change the display from the altitude alerter selected altitude to the baro setting display (either IN HG or HPA) for 3 seconds. If pushed and held for 2 seconds, will change the baro setting display from IN HG to HPA or vice versa. Once the baro setting display is visible the rotary knobs may be used to manually adjust the baro setting if automatic baro correction is not available.
12. ALTITUDE ARM (ARM) BUTTON
    When pushed will toggle altitude arming on or off. When ALT ARM is annunciated, the autopilot will capture the altitude alerter displayed altitude (provided the aircraft is climbing or descending in VS to the displayed altitude). When the autopilot is engaged, ALT arming is automatic upon altitude alerter altitude selection via the rotary knobs. Note that the alerter functions are independent of the arming process thus providing full time alerting, even when the autopilot is disengaged.
13. ALTITUDE ALERTER/VERTICAL SPEED/BARO SETTING DISPLAY
    Normally displays the altitude alerter selected altitude. If the UP or DN button is pushed while in VS hold, the display changes to the command reference for the VS mode in FPM for 3 seconds. If the BARO button is pushed, the display changes to the autopilot baro setting in either IN HG or HPA for 3 seconds.
    
    NOTE: This display may be dashed for up to 3 minutes on start up if a blind encoder is installed which requires a warm up period.
14. ALTITUDE ALERT (ALERT) ANNUNCIATION
    The ALERT annunciate is illuminated 1000 ft. prior to the selected altitude, extinguishes 200 ft. prior to the selected altitude and illuminates momentarily when the selected altitude is reached. Once the selected altitude is reached a flashing ALERT illumination signifies that the 200 ft. “safe band” has been exceeded and will remain illuminated until 1000 ft. from the selected altitude. Associated with the visual alerting is an aural alert (5 short tones) which occurs 1000 feet from the selected altitude upon approaching the altitude and 200 feet from the selected altitude on leaving the altitude.
15. PITCH TRIM (PT) ANNUNCIATION
    A flashing PT with arrows indicates the direction of required pitch trim. A solid PT without an arrow head is an indication of a pitch trim fault. During manual electric trim operation (autopilot disengaged), detection of a stuck MET switch will be indicated by a solid PT. When the fault is corrected, the annunciation will extinguish.
16. PITCH MODE DISPLAY
    Displays the active and armed pitch modes (VS, ALT, ARM, ALT and GS).
17. ROLL MODE DISPLAY
    Displays the active and armed roll modes (ROL, HDG, NAV ARM, NAV, APR ARM, APR, REV ARM, REV, GS ARM). Also displayed will be flashing AP annunciation (5 seconds) at each autopilot disconnect accompanied by an aural tone (for 2 seconds).
18. AUTOPILOT ENGAGED (AP) ANNUNCIATION
    Illuminates whenever the autopilot is engaged. Flashes during pilot initiated or automatic disengagement. Only applicable for software versions 03/01 or later.

Vertical Speed (VS) Mode

The Vertical Speed (VS) mode allows variable speed climbs and descents. The ALT button toggles between altitude hold and vertical speed modes.

Note: The KAP 140 engages into VS mode as a default.

To operate in the VS mode (with autopilot currently disengaged):

1. AP button - Press. Note ROL, VS and current vertical speed is displayed. If no other modes are selected the autopilot will operate in the ROL and vertical speed hold modes. For software version 03/01 and later, the AP button must be pressed and held for 0.25 seconds to engage the autopilot.
2. UP or DN button - Select desired climb or descent rate. Each button stroke will increment the vertical speed commanded up or down by 100 ft/min per button press, or at the rate of approximately 300 ft/min per second if held continuously.

To initiate a climb or descent from Altitude Hold (ALT) mode:

1. ALT button - Press. Note ALT changes to VS and current vertical speed is displayed.
2. UP or DN button - Select desired climb or descent rate. Each button stroke will increment the vertical speed commanded up or down by 100 ft/min per button press, or at the rate of approximately 300 ft/min per second if held continuously.

Note: VS command value will be displayed during Control Wheel Steering (CWS) and for three seconds following VS engagement or pressing the UP or DN button. Both altitude and vertical speed utilize the same display area. Altitude is always displayed except during vertical speed selection. If the VS command value is not displayed, pressing (and releasing) the UP or DN button will not change the indicated altitude reference but will display the VS command value.

Note: When operating at or near the best rate of climb airspeed, at climb power settings, and using vertical speed hold, it is easy to decelerate to an airspeed where continued decreases in airspeed will result in a reduced rate of climb. Continued operation in vertical speed mode can result in a stall.

 

Altitude Hold (ALT) Mode

The Altitude Hold (ALT) mode maintains the pressure altitude acquired upon selection of altitude hold. The ALT button toggles between altitude hold and vertical speed modes.

To operate in the ALT mode (with autopilot currently in the Vertical Speed mode):

1. ALT button - Press. Note ALT is annunciated and autopilot maneuvers to maintain pressure altitude acquired at button selection.
2. UP or DN button - Select to change altitude. Incremented button strokes will move the reference altitude by 20 feet per press, or if held continuously will command a 500 ft/min altitude change, acquiring a new reference altitude upon button release.

Note: Incremented altitude changes should be limited to 500 ft. of change.

 

Altitude Alerting and Preselect

The Altitude Preselect function allows capturing of a desired altitude and transferring into altitude hold. Manual input of desired altitude is accomplished through the rotary knobs on the faceplate of the KAP 140.

The Altitude Alerting function will visually and aurally announce approaching, acquiring and deviation from a selected altitude.

 

Altimeter Setting 

Installations with remote baro input:

1. BARO setting - CHECK. depressing the BARO button will display the baro setting for three seconds.
   

Installations without remote baro input:
Upon successful completion of preflight test, the baro display will flash.

1. BARO setting - Enter barometri setting using the rotary knobs OR if correct as displayed, press BARO.
   

Note: It is recommended that the baro value be updated whenever the aircraft altimeter setting is changed.

Baro unit conversion

The barometric pressure display can toggled between IN HG and HPA as needed by the pilot.

1. BARO button - Press and hold for two seconds.
   

Altitude Alerter

The function of the Altitude Alerter is independent of the autopilot.

1. ALTITUDE SELECT knob - ROTATE until the desired altitude is displayed.
   

Note: The ALERT annunciation is illuminated 1000 ft. prior to the selected altitude, extinguishes 200 ft. prior to the selected altitude and illuminates momentarily when the selected altitude is reached. Once the selected altitude is reached, a flashing ALERT illumination signifies that the 200 ft. “safe band” has been exceeded and will remain illuminated until 1000 ft. from the selected altitude. Associated with the visual alerting is an aural alert (five short tones) which occurs 1000 ft. from the selected altitude upon approaching the altitude and 200 ft. from the selected altitude on leaving the altitude.

Altitude Preselect

1. ALTITUDE SELECT knob - ROTATE until desired altitude is displayed. ARM annunciation occurs automatically upon altitude selection when the autopilot is engaged.
2. Airplane - ESTABLISH desired vertical speed to intercept the selected altitude.
3. Upon altitude capture, ALT ARM will extinguish and ALT will be annunciated.

Note: Altitude preselect captures are not recommended on non-precision approaches to capture the MDA. Glideslope coupling will preclude an altitude capture on an ILS.

Voice Messaging

The following standard voice messages will be annunciated as conditions warrant:

1. “TRIM IN MOTION, TRIM IN MOTION…” - Pitch trim running for more than 5 seconds.
2. “CHECK PITCH TRIM” - An out of trim condition has existed for 15 seconds.
   1. Airplane Control Wheel - GRASP FIRMLY, press CWS and check for an out of pitch trim condition. Manually retrim as required.
   2. CWS button - RELEASE.
   3. AUTOPILOT OPERATION -
      CONTINUE if satisfied that the
      out of trim condition was temporary.
      DISCONTINUE if evidence
      indicates a failure of the auto trim
      function.

The following optional voice messages will be annunciated if the system is configured for voice messaging:

1. “ALTITUDE” - 1000 feet
   before approaching selected altitude.
2. “LEAVING ALTITUDE” - 200
   feet away, departing selected altitude.
3. “AUTOPILOT” - Autopilot has
   disengaged, either through pilot
   action or automatically.
