After 12 years, my S-Tec system 30 doesn’t want to come ready.

I have checked the fuses for the AP and TC.  The TC flag retracts so I that looks OK.  The GPSS interface stays lit and functional.  It didn’t grab the stick and clunk for pitch or roll as normal.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Ralph Capen

Ralph,In the past S-Tec was always responsive to customer problems.  

And, they had a lot of long term techs and engineers that really understood the system and knew the answers.

It has gone thru a few leadership changes so things have probably changed.

I would call them and get thru to a field engineering guy or similar.  Drill down until you find a long term employee.

Hopefully, he can enlighten you as to the problem.

When I purchased my -50X system a long time ago, I had initial problems with the guidance part of it.  I was able to find a VP that understood what I was dealing with and made it possible to correct it.  I have not experienced any problems with my AP and knock on wood ....
