Autopilot Features

12 backlit indicator buttons: N1 THR, SPEED, VNAV, LEVEL CHANGE, HEADING SELECT, LNAV, VOR LOC, APPROACH, ALTITUDE HOLD, VERTICAL SPEED, COMMAND A, COMMAND B

4 additional buttons: C/O (IAS/MACH Changeover), AUTOPILOT DISENGAGE, EFIS MAP MODE -, EFIS MAP MODE +

8 knobs: MINS, BARO, COURSE, IAS/MACH, HEADING, ALTITUDE, VERT SPEED, EFIS MAP RANGE

5 toggle switches: MINS (RADIO/BARO), BARO (IN/HPA), FLIGHT DIRECTOR 1, FLIGHT DIRECTOR 2, AUTOTHROTTLE

All knobs have PUSH action. Different function for each aircraft, but example functions include ALTITUDE INTERVENTION, SPEED INTERVENTION, HEADING SYNC, STANDARD PRESSURE

LONG PUSH allows even more functions. This is available for every knob and button. Timing is configurable on a per-button basis

    Examples from the PMDG 737 profile:

  • TOGA is commanded when N1 THR is pushed for 0.5 seconds
  • TFC (TCAS Traffic Display) is activated when EFIS RANGE is pushed for 0.5 second
  • CWS A and CWS B are activated when CMD A or CMD B are pushed for 0.5 seconds. The corresponding CMD button will blink when CWS is engaged

Autopilot is not restricted to Boeing. Functions can be mapped to their equivalent on the aircraft you're flying. For example, VNAV maps to MANAGED ALTITUDE on an Airbus

Function varies by aircraft and developer


COURSE 2 SETTING

Course 2 can be set as follows:

  • Push COURSE knob. Display dims. COURSE 2 is displayed
  • Dial in desired course using the knob
  • Push COURSE knob. COURSE 1 is displayed. Brightness goes back to normal.

Such functionality is easy to accomplish and customise via the MobiFlight software


Functions may vary based on the aircraft and developer

Powerful Software Control

The Autopilot is configured and operated exclusively through the MobiFlight software application

MobiFlight is a powerful, free, open-source and widely-adopted solution for advanced Flight Sim hardware users. Circuit Avionics is a proud sponsor of the project

MobiFlight is able to work seamlessly alongside other hardware solutions such as SPAD.neXt and AxisAndOhs (no conflicts)

Simulator Compatibility

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on PC
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) on PC
  • Prepar3D versions 3-6
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator X
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004
  • X-Plane versions 9-12

MobiFlight communicates natively with X-Plane, and with MSFS (FS2020 / FS2024) via the included WASM module

FSX and Prepar3D users need to download FSUIPC (free version)
