The following AFCS controls are located separately from the AFCS Control Unit:

AP DISC Switch

(Autopilot

An AP DISC Switch is located on each control wheel.

This switch may be used to acknowledge an autopilot disconnect alert and mute the

associated aural tone.

CWS Button

(Control Wheel

While pressed, allows manual control of the aircraft while the autopilot is engaged and

synchronizes the flight director’s Command Bars with the current aircraft pitch (if

Mode)

A CWS Button is located on each control wheel.

Upon release of the CWS Button, the flight director may establish new pitch and roll

references, depending on the current vertical and lateral modes. CWS operation
details are discussed in the respective mode sections of this manual.
