Dave,

You have confused me even more!
If I am flying a radial with a cross wind, should the HDG bug be on the
radial or should it be on the estimated course made good with the wind
correction?

Sorry to confuse you, Ross.

Stating the disclaimer again: I've never flown with a KAP140, so my information
is based on autopilots that I *assume* operate similarly.

Set the heading bug on the desired radial. The track will be slightly off the
radial if you have a crosswind. This is usually good enough.

As a refinement, you can offset the heading bug in the direction into the wind,
and the aircraft will track closer to the desired radial.

Remove SHIRT to reply directly.
