01 / MASTERAP
Engage or disengage.
Press AP to switch the aircraft's autopilot on or off. Watch: the confirmed AP engagement state.

SIMULATED ALTITUDE
This is an educational simulation, not live MSFS telemetry. AERILIS sends native requests; your aircraft's avionics determine actual modes and transitions.
02 / KNOW YOUR CONTROLS
Five buttons.
Direct control.
Each AERILIS key requests a function from the aircraft's native autopilot. The aircraft decides what actually engages.
02 / LATERALHDG
Fly the heading you choose.
Select a heading — for example 230° — then request HDG. Heading mode turns toward that selected direction. Watch: HDG ACTIVE.
03 / LATERALNAV
Follow the GPS route.
With the correct navigation source and flight plan, NAV can arm for course interception. GPS WAIT means armed; GPS TRACK means captured.
04 / VERTICALALT
Hold your present altitude.
ALT requests altitude hold at the captured altitude. It does not automatically climb to the target shown under ALT SELECT.
05 / VERTICALVS
Control climb or descent.
+500 ft/min to climb, −500 ft/min to descend, or 0 ft/min for level flight in vertical-speed mode. Watch: VS ACTIVE.
06 / REFERENCEALT SEL
Select a destination altitude.
3,000 → 5,000 ft sets a target. It does not initiate a climb; an appropriate vertical mode must be selected. Once armed, altitude capture depends on the aircraft.
03 / READ THE FEEDBACK
The request is yours.
The confirmation is the aircraft's.
A command is a request. Feedback is confirmation.
GPS OFF
Navigation is inactive.
GPS WAIT
Navigation is armed, waiting for route capture.
GPS TRACK
Navigation is active and following the captured course.
These are AERILIS training labels. The exact annunciations, availability and transitions depend on the aircraft and avionics in MSFS 2024.
04 / QUICK TIPS
Make every indication.
Make sense.
NAV doesn't turn toward the route immediately?
The aircraft may need to intercept the GPS course first. Check the selected navigation source, active lateral mode and flight plan.
Selected an altitude but nothing happens?
ALT SELECT establishes a target. It does not initiate climb or descent by itself. Check whether a suitable vertical mode is active.
AP is on, but the aircraft isn't doing what you expect?
AP engagement and the lateral/vertical guidance modes are separate. Check the actual aircraft annunciations, not only the last button pressed.
Does ALT SELECT work the same as ALT?
No. ALT SELECT defines a target; ALT requests altitude hold at the captured reference altitude.
NATIVE AVIONICS / FAMILIAR BEHAVIOUR
Built around your aircraft.
AERILIS does not replace the avionics. It sends native commands to the autopilot already installed in the aircraft, whether that is a compatible Garmin G3X, G1000 or another supported system. Your aircraft remains responsible for navigation, altitude management and mode transitions.
Supported commands and feedback vary by aircraft, avionics and simulator implementation. This web demonstration is illustrative, offline and never connected to your Flight Deck.
