One of my clients has this autopilot installed. I would like to find the manual, to teach him how to use it better, but I do not know the model number. It is in a 1974 Beech V35B.

So, two questions:
1) Does anybody know what the model number of this autopilot is?
2) Does anybody have or know where to get a manual for it?

Thanks!
 
It's a Bendix Altimatic.
 
Thanks. It looks like there are several versions of the Altimatic. Can you tell which one this is?

It probably doesn't bode well for me finding a manual that if you enter a Google search for bendix altimatic manual, this thread is the 7th result...

Anybody have a link to a manual?
 
If it's not a FC813A, it's REALLY close...

And, here you go for the manual - the cartoon shown is for a FC813B flight controller, but they both drive the FCS-810, and I bet it's going to be close enough:

@deonb that looks exactly like it (or close enough). I was able to find a copy of the AFM supplement, which answered some of the questions I had. Thanks!
