## Unparalleled Ease of Use

Stay confident, as your easy-to-use AeroCruze 230 flies your aircraft with precision. You can use it to reduce workload and concentrate on tasks that require your immediate attention. It helps you manage multiple tasks when you feel like you need an extra hand in complex situations as you fly today’s airspace.

- Only touchscreen autopilot available in the market
- Mode annunciation so you know what the autopilot is doing
- Dedicated knobs and buttons for frequently used functions

![AeroCruze-230-1](https://service.airteam.eu/hubfs/AeroCruze-230-1.png)

BendixKing designed and built AeroCruze 230 exclusively for the current owners of BendixKing’s KFC 150/200. They can have their autopilot upgraded quickly and effortlessly, without the need to purchase new servos, thus saving thousands of dollars in additional costs.

##### Mode Controller

The KMC 231 Mode Controller provides the pilot control and annunciation functions via a glove friendly, color LCD touch screen with dedicated controls for frequent tasks. With a unique mechanical design the KMC 231 seamlessly integrates with the AeroCruze computer, allowing it to fit in the same mechanical location of the panel mounted KFC 150 autopilot flight computer.

##### Flight Computer

The AeroCruze Flight Computer is the heart of the AeroCruze system. This unit is designed to fit within the existing form factor of the legacy KFC 150 flight computer. The AeroCruze has also been designed to be remote mounted to accommodate KFC 200 and 250 installations.

##### Attitude

Attitude input comes from a digital attitude source provided by the KI 300 primary attitude indicator or another approved digital attitude source.

##### Interfaces

NAV VOR/ILS/GPS sources can be interfaced via a digital data bus or analog. AirData input is provided through a digital data bus. HSI interfaces can be through a digital data bus or analog using a KI 525A compatible legacy interface.

##### Annunciator Panel

The optional KAP 235 is designed to replace existing KA-185/KA-285 legacy annunciators on installations that will not allow the KMC 231 Mode Controller to be in the pilot’s normal field of view.

##### Autopilot functions

Altitude pre-select/alerter, GPS/ILS/VOR tracking and approaches. GPS Roll Steering (GPSS), VS, IAS. A 2 axis version is standard and a 3 axis version is available with an optional yaw damper.

#### Vastly Expanded Functions

 AeroCruze 230 brings a substantial increase in functionality and ease of use. It is the only autopilot on the market that comes with both a touchscreen and physical knobs to make it easy to learn and use. It offers an intuitive user interface with an innovative prompt when you execute a command. For example, pressing the Heading button on the touchscreen display shows exactly where the heading AeroCruze 230 turns. With AeroCruze 230, you know what it’s going to do before it happens.

- Full 3-axis autopilot
- Automatic wing leveling corrects unusual attitudes
- Coupled approaches
- Roll steering
- Altitude pre-select
- Precise turns to capture heading or approach even in high winds
- Drives flight director bars
- NAV, VOR, ILS, GPS
