Power Loss

If there is a momentary

loss of electrical power, the
autopilot will disengage. The
autopilot gyros must now 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. After

engaged, and any residual gyro
offset will be slaved away
automatically.

Lateral Modes

Upon being engaged, the

autopilot will be in the basic
lateral mode, and it will
synchronize to both the
direction and vertical speed
being flown at the time. The
number following

SEL

(Selected

direction) is underlined,
meaning that rotation of the
encoder will select heading.
Rotation of the knob when it is
not depressed will cause 5

°

steps of

SEL

and when it is

depressed the steps will be 1

°

.




If a GPS flight plan has

been entered into the GPS,
pushing the small button to the
left of the display will engage
the

GPS NAV

mode and a

flashing plus sign will show. In
the

GPS NAV

mode the autopilot

will follow a flight plan

programmed into the GPs. The
autopilot must, however, over-
fly each way point prior to
turning and intercepting the
next course line.




If the

GPS-S-

option has

been added, pushing the small
button to the left of the display
will engage the GPS steering.
In the

GPS-S-

mode the autopilot

follows lateral steering or bank
commands generated by a
navigation system (EFIS or
GPS).
