Re: Altimatic II B Roll problem
Have you had avionic work lately? Sometimes when you muck with the grey cables connecting the autopilot components, some of the 40+ year old wires and the connectors fail. I have personally have had. the same problem with the grey wire symptoms after a panel upgrade. The rerouting of these old wires caused a ground wire to separate from the connector to the ADI,
causing various problems that were only solved after ohmning the grey wires to the ADI.
I hope this helps,
God luck

Re: Altimatic II B Roll problem
I would bet that the clutch has been overeridden and disconnected by manually countering the autopilot with control inputs.
This requires a mechanical re-connect at the servo.
The other possibility is a corroded box under the #3 pass. seat floorboard that, when cleaned up, performs remarkably....like new!
Good luck. It's a great autopilot.....years ahead of it's time.
