should be employed only when the user has an overriding need for separate control.
The AP DISCONNECT MODE procedure is complete and the encoder can now be used to select
another menu screen.
Restore Defaults
Several of the variables used to optimize Pro Pilot performance including the servo zero and direction
settings are captured to EEPROM (non volatile memory) during initial setup. Further, tracking gains that
are set for differing flight conditions are also maintained in system EEPROM.
On rare occasion these values may become corrupt if a power transient occurs during an EEPROM write
procedure, or the pilot may inadvertently change settings that
cause poor autopilot performance. The restore default
procedure allows a quick method to restore all these values
back to their factory settings.
It is good practice to record all the variable settings you change from the factory settings so these may
be replaced after the restore defaults procedure.
The RESTORE DEFAULTS procedure allows either one or both HNAV or VNAV parameters to be reset.
To perform the RESTORE DEFAULTS procedure, perform the following steps:
1. Enter the CONFIGURATION SETTINGS menus as detailed previously and select the RESTORE
DEFAULTS mode.
2. Press and release the H MODE button. The arrow will be placed at the "ALL" setting field.
Press the encoder knob to activate the restore. The display will flash when the function is
complete.
3. If it is desired to reset only the H NAV defaults, Press
and release the H MODE button to position the cursor
adjacent to HNAV. Press the encoder to activate.
The HNAV display will flash when the function is
complete.
4. If it is desired to reset only the VNAV defaults, Press
and release the H MODE button again to position the
cursor adjacent to VNAV. Press the encoder to activate. The VNAV display will flash when the
function is complete
5. Press the H MODE button until the right arrow is absent from the display
The RESTORE DEFAULTS procedure is complete and the encoder can now be used to select another
menu screen.
Setting LED Flash Rate
The AS/VS and ALT SEL LEDs are set at the factory to flash
only when an active climb/descent is underway. Experiments
with a number of test pilots have shown a variety of opinions
and preferences regarding flashing lights in the cockpit.
Therefore, the user has the choice of selecting three
configurations for the LEDs. – SLOW FLASH, FAST FLASH
or NO FLASH.
When on the screen, press the H MODE button to bring the cursor up on the bottom left hand side of the
screen.
