commands a vertical speed
climb in which the aircraft
slows to the minimum airspeed,
the aircraft will maintain that
airspeed and will flash

MIN AS

on the display.

Likewise if the pilot commands
a vertical speed descent in
which the aircraft accelerates to
the maximum airspeed, the
autopilot will not fly the
selected vertical speed, but will
maintain the maximum airspeed
and flash

MAX AS

.


Gyro Set

When the initializing has

been done correctly, the gyros
should already be centered at
the time of take off. If
confirmation of this is desired,
with the aircraft stationary on

the runway and the autopilot
disengaged, pressing and
holding the encoder knob will
put the gyros in the fast
centering mode. The knob
should be depressed for
approximately 15 seconds
during which time the words

GYRO SET

will be displayed.

Power Loss

If there is a momentary

loss of electrical power, the
autopilot will disengage and

repower up. The autopilot gyros
may need to be manually re-
initialized using the

GYRO SET

operation. Manually fly the
aircraft in a straight line as
steadily as possible, while
holding in the knob for at least
ten seconds after the words

GYRO SET

appear in the

display. Continue to hold for
approximately ten seconds,
release the knob. The autopilot
may now be re-engaged, and
any residual gyro offset will be
slaved away automatically.
