KAP140 question
Hi,
I have some tech questions regarding Bendix King KAP 140 autopilot:
-APR mode, LOC and GS captured, is it possible to cancel GS by selecting other pitch mode (ALT/VS) or it is necessary to first turn off the autopilot?
-Same as above, is it possible to cancel APR by selecting other roll mode?
- Does pushing NAV once NAV is armed or captured revert to HDG mode? And the same for APR/REV?
-If red P flag turns on, it means pitch modes are inoperative. Does it show dashes on pitch mode/armed mode positions?
-If unit with Altitude Preselect option, which is the altitude displayed when autopilot is first powered, and after PFT test?
Many thanks.

Point is I don't have a flight instructor. Actually I am building a KAP140 unit simulator so the reason for such specific questions.
Thank you. I do have BK official pilot manual, Installation manual, etc. But the info I am asking for is not present there, I guess it is really a pilot observation matter.
I do fly C172 and similar aircraft in rl but none of them have any kind of autopilot, hands flying only!
