400 A A/P
Sten,
I have a 77 G with a 400A. When I first got the bird some 10 yrs ago, the A/P worked ok but would not couple to the loc or the gs. I had an OLD TIMER look at it, he took out the comp. box did some repairs to some of the card in it. We re installed it, he did some in flight adjustments roll rates etc. It has worked ok since. The trick is to find some one who still has the test equipment for the Cessna type. There is a shop close to me that still has it. Some times when they do a retro fit they save good componets. Recently got a elect. trim actuator from them. With the 400A there is no F/D and no annunciation, eg: LOC. capture or GS. capture. One has to pay good attention to what is going on.. When ever any asks as to my flying time I respond... about 4 thousand hours, and about 16 thousand watching George, that was the A/P nick name. (the four and sixteen is just a guess)....Guy ....old72driver....
