KaaP 140 Problem in Nav mode
Recently, after a pitch servo replacement, I noticed that when in Nav mode and sequencing through a waypoint, my KAP 140 starts to roll in the wrong direction then corrects to the new course. Has anyone else seen this problem and know what the cause is? I don’t think it has anything to do with the pitch servo replacement but perhaps when they retested the A/P system there may have been a calibration that caused it.

Re: KaaP 140 Problem in Nav mode
I have had this problem for several years and ignored it since it is only about a 2 degree turn in the wrong direction for a couple of seconds. I think it changed after the last software upgrade (which was many years ago for my non-WAAS plane).
All that said I am interested in a fix if someone knows what is causing it and the fix is not difficult.

Kurt,
I’m going to call Diamond Canada on Monday and see what they know about this, if anything. Like yours, mine is also only a few degrees hdg change in the wrong direction before it corrects. Hdg mode does not exhibit any anomalies. Seems like it is caused by an erroneous command from the G1000 lateral steering function.
