Simulated autopilot control

When a Demo profile is enabled, simulated autopilot control is available using the Pilot sidebar in the Chart app.

Note

  • When using the simulated pilot controls no live commands are sent to a connected autopilot.

  • When the simulated autopilot is engaged the turn controls located on the right side of the screen will be disabled.
