Abnormal Procedures

Autopilot Malfunction

An autopilot, autopilot trim or manual electric trim malfunction may be recog-
nized as an uncommanded deviation in the airplane flight path or when there
is abnormal control wheel or trim wheel motion. The primary concern in react-
ing to an autopilot or trim malfunction, or to an automatic disconnect of the
autopilot, is in maintaining control of the airplane. Immediately grasp the con-
trol wheel and press and hold down the A/P DISC/TRIM INTER switch
throughout the recovery. Manipulate the controls as required to safely main-
tain operation of the airplane within all of its operating limitations.

CAUTION: Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual or the Airplane Flight Manual
Supplement for your particular aircraft for pertinent emergency procedures.
