COURSE navigation should not
be used when GPS track is
absent. The VNAV mode will
also not be functional without a
GPS signal. When in the gyro
backup mode the number
displayed below
BANK is the
selected bank angle. Rotating
the encoder knob will move the
selected bank angle one degree
at a time up to five degrees, the
bank angle is then selectable in
five degree steps up to 30
degrees.
If the aircraft continues to
turn when a bank angle of zero
degrees has been selected, push
in on the encoder and the
display changes to show a
TRIM
adjustment. This adjustment is
selectable in increments of 0.2
degrees per minute up to ten
degrees per minute in either
direction. Every time the trim
is adjusted it will add the
displayed number to the current
trim adjustment.
Yaw Damper
The Yaw Damper can be
used whether or not the
autopilot is engaged. It
automatically comes on when
the autopilot is engaged. When
the autopilot is not engaged the
Yaw Damper can be toggled on
or off by pressing the [TRK]
button. If the autopilot is not
engaged, the yaw damper will
automatically disengage at the
user selectable minimum
airspeed. When the autopilot is
not engaged, and the yaw
damper is engaged the display
will be as shown below.
Vertical Modes
When the autopilot is
engaged, it will synchronize to
the vertical speed being flown
at the time, and thus will be in
the basic vertical speed-
operating mode (see figure on
page 3). While in this basic
vertical speed mode, the upper
right section of the display
shows altitude and the lower
right section shows
SVS
(selected vertical speed). This
mode is also entered by
pressing either end of the
vertical speed rocker. If the
system is in transition to a
selected altitude pressing the
appropriate direction of the
vertical speed rocker will
switch from airspeed to vertical
speed. It will not cancel the
selected altitude, unless the
selected vertical speed is in the
opposite direction.
Altitude Hold Mode
Press [ALT] to select ALT
HOLD mode. The selected
altitude will be to the nearest
100 feet as viewed on the
