most do, some dont.

 

[CAPTAINDEEZ]

they all do

its yourself. i have never seen a 99 with autopilot on the job. the piston, never flew it.

I heard some of the nava joes have autopilots consisting mainly of wing levelers.

And some of them (the PA31's, that is) have autopilots that are more work to watch and monitor and operate than just hand flying to begin with! :nuts:

 

[Tug Driver]

thanks for the info guys

 

[DirtyBeech]

most of the pa31's have autopilots ranging from wing levelers to autopilot/flight director combo. i think only two of the 99's have them.

Very very true!

When I was there, the five or six 99's that had autopilots were almost always based in SLC. Most of the Navajos/Chieftains had autopilots.

Jeez. Back in the day, all the 99's had autopilots. Except one: 20FW (Focke-Wolfe, or F***Wad, as the case may be), an ex-Cascade Airways airplane. God, I hated flying that airplane.

And all of the PA31s and most of the singles had working autopilots. What the hell has happened? I feel for you people, I really do.

autopilots

one of our 99's have one (currently inop), two of our cheiftain's have them (one of which is inop.). 20FW (fat willy) is still a joy to fly-- over 45,000 hrs.

That airplane's gonna have a longer career than I will.

What about N34AK the "anti-christ." Is that thing still setting longevity records every time it leaves the earth?

Yep, an outstationed pilot in Las Vegas flies that thing religiously every day between Las Vegas and Phoenix. Its still around and is actually a decent airplane but is older than baseball.......

What about it's sister ship 12AK? (34AK aka Inky and 12AK aka Stinky, don't worry about the details....)
