OK, got it. I'd completely ignored that part of the
radio stack. My bad.
Right now I fly (in order of most to least frequent):
Cessna 172
B737
j3cub
Fokker 100
Fokker 50
Looks like the 737 DME is locked to NAV2???
Speaking of instrument approaches (using 737), I
noticed that the AP sees GPS 5-letter waypoints, but
the autopilot doesn't smoothly turn to the proper
heading but, rather, oscillates across about 20
degrees of heading while slowly moving toward
waypoint. Is this pilot error? I know the AP on the
172 works quite nicely
Thanks,
Mike
