6.5.1. Emergency  Level  Mode  

This   mode   allows   the   autopilot   to   be   engaged   into   track   hold  

mode   and   zero   vertical   speed   mode   from   ANY   attitude,   with   the  

press   of   a   single   button.     Figure   6.5.1a   shows   the   display   when   the  
Emergency  Level  Mode  is  engaged.      To  engage  the  Emergency  Level  
mode,  press  the  AP  LEVEL  button  (if  equipped).

6.5.2. Gyro  Backup  Mode  

This   mode   is   the   lateral   mode   available   when   the   RS232   signal  

from  the  GPS  is  lost.    It  allows  selection  of  a  bank  angle  in  either  the  
left   or   right   direction   up   to   30°   of   bank.     This   mode   is   essentially   a  
wing  leveler.    Use  the  KNOB  to  select  the  desired  bank  angle.    Figure  
6.5.2a  shows  the  gyro  backup  mode  screen.

still  accessible  when  no  GPS  signal  or  fix  is  available.    Figure  6.5.2b  
shows   a   10   degree   left   bank   and   altitude   hold   at   7000   feet.   (see  
section  6.4.2  for  ALT  HOLD)
