Kris, thanks for that info. Tamil latest mp3 free download. That will have to wait awhile.

I think the avionics will have to happen first. It appears I've bought an older but nice clean 201. Just trying to figure out how to spend a little more money without feeling guilty. You will only feel guilty if you install it and then don't fly enough to enjoy the benifits, or sell the plane in short order since you will not recoupe the $$. Otherwise the safety and convience on autopilots, WAAS, weather all outweigh the cost IMHO. My F has the GTN650, Century 41 W/ GPSS, JPI EDM 700, GTX 330ES.

I am looking at what upgrades make the most sense from a way to decrease the single pilot IFR workload. It will probably be an Aspen, if the financial advisor (wife) agrees that is.

I have never had an auto pilot so when you say the century II had wing leveling only and the Century IIB approach mode, does that mean the IIB has aileron and rudder control and the II only has aileron control? Is one a single axes and the other a two axis? Sorry for the ignorance. Nels -- a single axis autopilot is aileron control only, a two axis autopilot is one where the ailerons and elevator are controlled. Some planes also have a yaw damper and others will have rudder trim. The yaw damper is help with the swaying of the tail that some plane exhibit. And rudder trim is used to offset yawing either during take-off or like in my case, when I get up to cruise speed (I will see the ball half out). My autopilot, an STEC 60-2 is a two axis autopilot that controls the ailerons and elevator only.

I don't have a yaw damper or rudder trim. When an autopilot is referred approach capable, it means that it will be a two axis that can control the elevator for the approach. Creating confusion is the status of the trim. In planes with elevator control, the trimming of the plane may require the pilot to adjust the trim wheel.

If trim is required, the autopilot will usually provide some indication lights to show the need for trim. On my 60-2, I have autotrim. The autotrim will spin the trim wheel to remove the yoke pressure. If the autotrim fails, I would get the trim up or down indications like a plane without autotrim.

On older Mooneys like mine, came from the factory with a wing leveler. It was essentially a single axis autopilot that was always on and never tracked any kind of navigation signal.

It just kept the wings level. I don't know the Century series well enough, but the Century II may be just a single axis autopilot capable of tracking a navigation signal.

And it sounds like the IIB is a two axis. Hope this helps.

My 201 has a Century IIB Auto-pilot along with a Sys 60 PSS. Works OK intermittently so I can't depend on it for serious IFR flying. It performs OK sometimes, but it may suddenly lose its bearings and begin an oscillatory behaviour and deviate significantly from assigned Nav or Hdg and I have to disengage it. Same with the PSS, it may work fine for 15 minutes, then suddenly it will send the plane climbing or descending and I have to overrde it.

Is it a matter of servicing or calibration? Any suggestions on shops in (Northern) California who might be experts on these systems?

They may be related. We have a similar setup with a CIIB and a STEC-30ALT. The 30ALT has no trim feature, so when the plane turns in HDG mode it banks 22 degrees and the nose drops slightly before the 30ALT recognizes an altitude deviation and corrects. In ROLL mode (turning the roll knob) it banks 30 degrees, which the 30ALT doesnt like. It has a larger (like 50ft) deviation followed by the trim beeper. It can't correct for all the loss of lift in that much of a bank. Your CIIB may need adjustment, and the 60PSS is just tryign to correct for the altitude excursions because it is playing catchup.

There are 4 adjust ent screws behind the Century panel. The left and right bank adjustments should be adjusted ot 30 degree bank in roll mode. The centering adjustment ot to center the ehading bug, turn the screw the opposite direction of the heading bug displacement. The roll sensitivity needs adjustment in our plane once a year.
