From the Sys 60-2 POH:
"If the autopilot is equipped with optional Autotrim, the aircraft elevator
trim will be maintained automatically when the Trim Master Switch is ON
and a pitch mode is activated.
When the Trim Master Switch is ON, the trim annunciators are disabled.
If the switch is OFF, or a power failure occurs, the annunciators
automatically become functional."
Does it not function this way?
It does, but it appears to require an adjustment. I had mentioned this
squawk at one time to an avionics tech who then admitted that there is an
adjustment to the autotrim, but he gave me the impression that it was not
an exact science. Since I had incorporated a work-around into my cruise
checklist, I decided to put this adjustment on the low priority list.
Do you also fly with the 60-2? I had been thinking about adding the yaw
damper option, but other things like starters, alternators, and my Garmin
GNS430 keep breaking just out of warranty and demanding the attention of
the checkbook.
