A Dash 8-300 under development. Has an autopilot I've been developing, it flies very well but the UI doesn't work exactly like I want it to yet. It has two modes: Attitude hold is activated by pressing 1 or the button in the cockpit and keeps the plane at the current altitude. It is accurate to within 1 meter. Heading hold is button 2 and holds the current heading.
