Autopilot Auto-trim

SkyView can provide automatic trim control (Auto-trim) if your plane’s electric trim motor(s)
are operated through the SV-AP-PANEL’s trim controller (trim control pushbuttons on the stick,
and the electric trim motors, are connected to the SV-AP-PANEL).

Auto-trim control of PITCH TRIM is only active when the SkyView AP’s PITCH axis is engaged.

Auto-trim control of ROLL TRIM is only active when the SkyView AP’s ROLL axis is engaged.

After MOTOR 1 and/or MOTOR 2 calibration is completed through the AUTO-TRIM FUNCTION
menus described above, Autopilot Auto-trim is enabled on those axes.

If you want to disable Autopilot Auto-trim, push buttons 7+8 to enter the SETUP MENU, then

AUTOPILOT SETUP > ROLL AXIS > AUTO-TRIM ENABLED – set to NO

AUTOPILOT SETUP > PITCH AXIS > AUTO-TRIM ENABLED – set to NO

Post Installation Checks

Verify buttons operate all AP modes.

Verify dim commands from SkyView display dim the backlighting of the SV-AP-PANEL.

Verify that trim controls operate as commanded from Pilot and (optional) Copilot
controls.

During a test flight, use the PITCH trim pushbuttons to bring the plane slightly out of
PITCH trim. Verify that PITCH auto-trim automatically trims the PITCH as needed.
(Assumes that PITCH auto-trim is enabled.)

During a test flight, use the ROLL trim pushbuttons to bring the plane slightly out of
ROLL trim. Verify that ROLL auto-trim automatically trims the ROLL as needed. (Assumes
that ROLL auto-trim is enabled.)
