The simple answer is that the autopilot compares the heading bug to CDI
deflection to determine the amount and rate of aileron input. To prevent
a reoccurence of that problem, set the heading bug to the final approach
course (or whichever segment you wish to track) and you'll be set.

I have an Altimatic III (a Century product) in my airplane and it works
essentially the same way.


Is this true of the newer S-TEC autopilots as well? My club plane is
getting a 55X installed soon.


I have a -50 and have not noted any effect of the heading bug in other than
heading mode.
