PowerPoint on use of the Autopilot in Diamond

This PowerPoint was originally put together by an officer of the Civil Air Patrol (credits on last page).  Tom found it and he and I have adapted/edited it for our use. It covers all the normal operating procedures with the KAP-140.  If you’re not sure of all the details of this autopilot, the PPT should help.

When flying, we always talk about staying ahead of the airplane. Slide #17 displays a good way to stay ahead when the A/P is engaged.  Here, the A/P display is telling you what you’re doing AND what you’re going to be doing.
