![]() "Newps" wrote in message ... A one axis autopilot is a wing leveler. It may have features that allow it to track a radial or GPS course or even to follow a heading bug or all three. Even then it's a one axis autopilot. A two axis autopilot does that plus holds altitude. A three axis autopilot will also control yaw. You see these on a lot of V tail Bonanza's or any plane that is not that stable in yaw. Some of these planes may have two separate autopilots. The first is a typical two axis and a second totally separate autopilot to control yaw. A buddy of mine has that setup on his Bo. A yaw damper is a separate autopilot? Hmmm...I can see that! |
