400A Autopilot Manual?

[KyleTownsend]

We have the standard 400A supplement in the POH. However, we have heard "rumors" of a much more in-depth manual for the 400A. Anybody got one or know where to find it?

KYLE
I HAVE TWO BOOKS THAT ARE SEPERATE FROM THE STANDARD POH ON SKYMASTER.
1) 1967 NAV-O-MATIC 400 AUTOPILOT
2) 400 SERIES ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT 1968

WILL THESE HELP?

HERE IS THE OTHER (1)

I have a 1977 FT337GP with 400A and Flt Director. It may be similar or quite different from your's. The two manuals I have found to be the best for my configuration are:

1) Cessna D4523-13 which is Integrated Flight Control System Service and Parts Manual available from Essco (?) the old manual folks. I don't have the bill close by, but I ordered on the web and got it two or three days later.

It covers what appears to be all the variations of installation and components associated with 400A's with the central component being the AF530 Autopilot and variants. The manual is dated Oct 1973 so covers from that point on.

It has good sections on Adjustment, Operations, including pre-flight checks, Principals of Operation, Maintenance, Parts Lists and Trouble Shooting

2) My Avionic shop also has a copy of D4580-2-13 Avionic Service and Parts Manual 1977 thru 1978 for various planes including the 337's. It is more specific to my range of serial number, but is more oriented to wiring diagrams and installation.

Both were used extensively when we updated the radio stack with Garmin and trouble shooting the system afterwards.

Thanks guys.

That gives me an idea of what I am looking for. I will check with Esco and see what they've got.

I have the Cessna 400 Navomatic Autopilot Service and Parts Manual. I only have the one but will make copies if you want one. I also have many original Cessna 337 and 0-2A/B parts and service manuals for sale.
