Default Autopilot fighting for control

There's no CWS on the KAP140 install in the NAV3 equipped Cessna line.
Probably on the Mustang when it comes out, but not the SEPs.


I've got CWS on my 55X. Frankly, I never use it.




Personally with a working aircraft I always fly a
procedure turn w/ autopilot by changing it to HDG mode, flying the
procedure turn with the bug, and then re-arm APR on the inbound
intercept.


That's what works for me. On the 55X, you can HDG+NAV+APR
at the same time and it holds the heading until the needle comes
alive (if you just NAV+APR, it may make a more agressive turn
towards the course).
