Introduction
The pressures of single-pilot instru-
ment flying place critical demands on
the skill and concentration of any
pilot. To aid you in meeting these
challenges, Honeywell has devel-
oped the KFC 225 Flight Control
System. This system places recent
flight control advances normally
found only in high end ‘jet’ autopilots
into the cockpits of General Aviation
Aircraft.
The heart of the system is a
lightweight, integrated autopilot com-
puter combining the functions of
computer, mode selector, altitude
pre-selector, and the optional yaw
damper into one unit. The system
has been designed to work with
your Bendix/King equipment from
day one. It can interface directly with
your EFIS system, take roll steering
commands from your KLN 90B IFR
GPS, and, when available, listen to
your KRA 10A radar altimeter to
improve approach tracking.
It is significant that this Silver Crown
Plus flight control system has been
designed from the beginning to inter-
face with your Silver Crown Plus
package of avionics. Consider the
advantage of having your avionics
working together as an integrated
system rather than as a group of
unrelated components built by sev-
eral different manufacturers.
To fully utilize the impressive capa-
bilities of this full-featured system it
is important that the pilot understand
the capabilities and limitations of the
system. The pilot should take time
to read and thoroughly understand
the FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLE-
MENT for the autopilot installation
specific to his aircraft. This Pilot’s
Guide should be used to gain addi-
tional insight into the operation of the
system through the specific operat-
ing scenarios. The FLIGHT MAN-
UAL SUPPLEMENT information
shall always take precedence over
the information found in this manual.
