So when your STEC autopilot is engaged in NAV or APR mode, what does the Heading Bug on the DG do?
I find that moving the heading bug while in NAV mode definitely causes the plane to change heading toward the bug, but I don't understand why or what the "correct" position for the heading bug is supposed to be.
Logically, it seems to me that the heading bug should be ignored by the autopilot when tracking an OBS (or in GPSS mode). But that doesn't seem to be the case.
What am I missing?
