'''Attention! This mode is dangerous''', because it will drive you into the ground if you don't disengage the autopilot. It is not meant to land you automatically, just to guide you close to the runway. As soon as you are near the runway you should disengage and land manually. | '''Attention!

=== Flying opposite direction of VOR or ILS (REV mode) === | |||
Using the REV mode allows you to fly away from an VOR or ILS localizer signal (note that glideslope is ignored). | |||
It works the same as NAV or APR, just in the opposite compass direction. This is helpful if you want to fly straight away from the runway at start or to fly away from a VOR that you tuned the inbound course into the OBS. | |||
As APR and NAV, you can intercept the radial or localizer either from ROL or HDG mode. | |||
In either case, dial in the Front Inbound course into the OBS and the HSI heading bug, and not the direction you want to fly. | |||
Course reversal is done from the autopilot automatically. | |||
