Approach Roll Steering

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   In IFD software 10.2.3.1 there was a new setting on the Main System Config page called 'Appr Roll Steer'.  The default is enabled.  I believe this is the default to emulate the GNS.  The techsupport article description  (https://techsupport.avidyne.com/kb/article/284-approach-roll-steering-setting-on-main-system-config-page/ )is a bit unclear to me:Approach Roll Steering
Enabled: Default setting.
Disabled: Invalidates GPSS Roll Steering output during FMS approaches. Should be disabled   for autopilots that fly GPSS during approach mode to force the autopilots to switch to Left/Right deviation data.I have dual IFD440's and a DFC90.  It would seem I should disable this.  Right?
