# Autopilot System

What might come as a surprise to those not familiar
 with the aircraft, the Skyraider comes fitted with an
 autopilot, albeit a very primitive (not to mention
 convoluted) one. The autopilot control panel is
 located on the right console, next to the light control
 panel.

This autopilot system is limited to PITCH and BANK Hold control.

1. **Autopilot Master Switch:** Press this switch to engage and disengage the autopilot system.
2. **Pitch Up/Down Adjustment Knob:** To climb, turn the pitch-trim control counterclockwise UP. To Dive, clockwise DOWN.
3. **Bank Left/Right Adjustment Knob:** To bank, turn the bank-trim clockwise to raise the left wing, and counterclockwise to raise the right wing.&#x20;
4. **Inverter Switch:** Energizes the system from Inverter 1 or Inverter 2.

To operate the Autopilot System, simply engage the Autopilot Master switch and turn the Pitch and Bank Controls, making small adjustments until the desired attitude is achieved.&#x20;
