Hi.
During a career mission with the C208 Caravan, I noticed an issue with the autopilot.
When autopilot was engaged, the plane had problems following the flightplan.
It kept wallowing back and forth for a very long time, before finally starting flying straight.
Not sure if this was an issue with the flightplan, or the plane itself.
Will investigate more tomorrow, when I`m planning on a 3 hout cargo mission.
For me the NAV Mode doesn’t work in the caravan, not even direct to does following any direction when activated
I have the same issue with NAV. The plane oscilliate left and right for a long time before aligning on the course.
I have used it even with the wallowing issue.
Today it went completely bonkers, and commanded a steep climb.
Safe to say that this aircraft is in the hangar until fixed.
Same here. I tried an ils approach and it pitched up, I had to disconnect before stalling. It seems that it is to slow to react in pitch and roll
Let`s hope this is one of the fixes in the upcoming patch or two.
Just purchased a used C-208 in career, but still have to pay 1,1m in maintenance. lol
Also had issues with the Grand Caravan autopilot. Randomly started pitching up obscenely midflight so had to fly the rest by hand.
Autopilot does not engage at all in my C208. Is there anything different than in 2020? I stabilize in cruise, set the HDG bug and select the altitude, ALT, but the AP button does not activate the AP. Both avionics are on and all breakers in. Any advice? Thanks!
Weird that it doesn’t engage at all. Mine engages and works but, like the others, it’s too slow to react to it and is often endlessly chasing the autopilot.
