EFIS Autopilot Control
/disengage AP
This section describes the various AP control functions available via the EFIS > AP menu.
With an AP installed and configured, the AP menu is shown on
Button 3 (hereafter, shown in documentation as “EFIS > AP”).
This replaces the BUGS menu (relocated under the AP menu).
The AP menu includes the following buttons and functionality:
 BUGS: Works as the BUGS menu has in previous firmware
versions and is documented on page 5-2. The HDG or TRK
(note that this bug will display as either HDG or TRK depending on autopilot’s mode of operation) and ALT bugs
now control the targets for the autopilot’s HDG/TRK and ALT modes, respectively.
 MODE-(H, T, or N): The MODE button is followed by the currently active lateral mode: H (HDG), T (TRK), or N
(NAV). When the roll axis of the AP is engaged (by pressing button 3, the lateral engage button), it flies in the mode
set in this menu. Pressing this button brings up another menu where you can select the armed AP mode. As soon as
you select a mode, the AP menu is immediately displayed again.
