Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration

capable of exerting. The minimum is 10%, the maximum is 100%, and the default value is 100%.
If you can override the servo at 100% torque, use this default value.
To test pitch axis servo override force:
1. Return to the Main Menu.
2. Center the aircraft controls.
3. Enter the Autopilot Menu (MAIN MENU > AUTOPILOT).
4. Press the LEVEL button to engage the autopilot.
Now, take the controls and override the servo by moving to either pitch up or pitch down.
Ensure that you are comfortable with the amount of force it takes to override the servo. If you
are not, decrease the pitch servo torque value by 10% and repeat the test.
Default Climb Vertical Speed
When using simplified autopilot controls, the default climb vertical speed parameter sets the
initial vertical speed the autopilot will command for climbs when an altitude change is
requested. You may also control the climb vertical speed after a climb is in progress with the
vertical speed bug. If you set this parameter above a vertical speed the aircraft can achieve, the
autopilot will run into the airspeed limiter in a climb.
When using expert autopilot controls, the Default Climb Vertical Speed is only used when NOSE
UP is pressed while ALT HOLD mode is already engaged. This activates VS mode at the Default
Climb Vertical Speed.
The default climb vertical speed parameter is specified in the units set in the Measurement
Units Menu (i.e., feet per minute or meters per second; reference page 3-8 for more
information regarding configuring the measurement units). The default value is 500 feet per
minute
To adjust the default climb vertical speed:
1. Go to the Pitch Axis Default Climb Vertical Speed Adjust Page (SETUP MENU >
AUTOPILOT SETUP > PITCH AXIS > DEFAULT CLIMB VERTICAL SPEED).
2. Adjust the default climb vertical speed.
3. Press ACCEPT to save the value or press CANCEL to return to the Pitch Axis Menu.
Default Descent Vertical Speed
When using simplified autopilot controls, the default descent vertical speed parameter sets the
initial vertical speed the autopilot will command for descents when an altitude change is
requested. You may also control the descent vertical speed after a descent is in progress with
the vertical speed bug. If you set this parameter below the vertical speed the aircraft can
achieve, the autopilot will run into the airspeed limiter during descent.
When using expert autopilot controls, the Default Descent Vertical Speed is only used when
NOSE DOWN is pressed while ALT HOLD mode is already engaged. This activates VS mode at the
Default Climb Vertical Speed.
