What is the mode flow for Altitude “Track” mode in a 1124?

The course fine mode is ignored after the “caapture” high gain period, 6 seconds?
Then, the 590a-3K sets a clutch, and error out is fed to the FD computer, the “PitchSteer” through to the AP AMP(?).
Later WW S/N’s repeat the time constant over to the AP as well as the FD computer.

What will cause a WestWind 1124 AP to fail to engage?
How do you build a bridge from Sapgetti?
Rules this time were:
5 pieces of spagetti
hot glue only
point loaded mid span only
metal hook or string to suspend the load
the most pennys before failure wins
Cindy’s bridge
Noah’s Bridge
Daddy’s bridge
Lucia Bridge
Cindy bridge won at 168 pennys
Noah at 88 pennys
Pop at 71 pennys
lucia at 75 pennys
HOW DO YOU GO FROM A BITMAPPED IMAGE TO USEABLE GCODE?
http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/31-cad-cam/20632-routing-bitmap-contour
1. Make image as black face (B/W image) in Gimp or similar
2. Import to Inkscape
3. Trace bitmap
4. Delete bitmap – leave traced image
5. Zoom to border and set grid or guide to cutter radius
6. Do multiple Outset (need step small enougth) and observe vhere is enougth.
7. Use GcodeTools Inkscape extension – Path_to_Gcode
That’s all….
Step 6 is little tricky. I can’t set proper step to do it in one Outset operation. So I set that step to small value and observe result when is right amount. It’s easy if the grid is set to the cutter radius and image aligned to grid. Just apply Outset to reach next grid line.
I got good result with that.
Here is a FRITZING to GCODE solution

How does the Falcon 900 Start latch work?
Youtube run through schematic
The Starter is held engaged by a “Latch” circuit.
Several things can break the “Latch”. One of the things is a ground from the DEEC when N2>= 50%.
Are Concode AGM batteries Hazerdous Shipping?
How do I troubleshoot a Falcon 900 Auto Temp control system?
well. First of all, forget the “auto” part of the temp system until BOTH Dual temp valve indicators run PERFECTLY smooth.
Here is a video of the Crew valve with a dead spot on the pot.
Dont even worry about the amps or the temp sensors until you have that straight.
How do I load the Perf Data Base in a NZ2000
Insert the USB key with the regular Nav Data Base. The Aircraft Data Base files are on the same disk.
On the “DATA LOAD page, the 2R key should say ‘Aircraft DB”. … If the stick has the DB on it, and it is plugged in to the data loader correctly.
Choose f900V2 or some such.
Page 6-172 of the pilots guide.
You must load both sides seperatly.

My performance values do not seem to be correct (ceiling altitude splits, cruise alt splits,
ETE’s, Fuel Estimates)
1. Verify that the proper Aircraft Database is in use. You can do this by looking on PERF INIT
page 1, under ACFT TYPE. This should correspond to your specific aircraft.
2. If the ACDB is incorrect (or to clear and reset ACDB performance to the default values) reload
the correct ACDB. The ACDB is available on either floppy disk 1 or 2 or the USB thumb drive
(as appropriate) of your monthly Navigation Database update.
Repeat all Data Load, Tail # and V-Speed Label steps on all CDUs.
3. Verify that SmartPerf Learning is turned
ON
on all FMSs until performance values are as desired.
At that point, turn
OFF
SmartPerf on all FMSs. Leaving SmartPerf
ON
for an extended period can
cause a divergence in the performance data saved in the individual FMSs, causing problems
What happens when judgement ceases to better valor?
Throwing a map out of a Champ and circling to catch it.
Fun. Don’t try it.
