left at N (no) unless the nose of the aircraft moves up and down very
slightly in very still air.

Controls
The autopilot can be engaged in one of three ways; (1) Pushing the
AP button; (2) using the control wheel steering switch; (3) pressing the
GPSS button when a GPSS steering signal is available. The CWS
(Control Wheel Steering) switch is a momentary switch that should be
located on the stick/yoke for accessibility. When this switch is held
closed for 1.5 seconds from a disengaged state, the AP will engage. If
held closed for 1.5 seconds from an engaged state, the AP will enter
CWS mode. When the switch is momentarily closed (pressed and
released) from an engaged state, the AP will disengage.
Lateral Modes
When the autopilot is engaged it will synchronize to the current GPS
ground track. At this time the cursor will be located underneath the
numbers indicated by SEL on the display. The desired ground track can
be changed by rotating the knob to select a new track. Rotating the knob
will increment the selection by 5°. Pressing and holding the knob while
rotating will give 1° increments.
Pushing the TRK button at any time will return the autopilot to the
basic track selector mode.
When an external heading source (DG or HSI) is present and turned
on, pressing EXT will engage the external DG mode. When in this mode,
the heading “bug” within the external DG or HSI will control the
direction that the autopilot flies. For use with a Garmin G3X system, the
EXT button will still follow the heading bug of the PFD, but N must be
selected in the lateral setup menu.
GPS Steering (GPSS)/GPS Nav Mode/GPSV
Pressing the GPSS button will enter either GPS Nav or GPSS mode.
The type of steering command that is available will determine how the
autopilot will fly a flight plan programmed into the GPS.
