Gyro  Set  Mode  

This  mode  allows  the  autopilot  to  re-­‐center  the  internal  gyros.    

This  can  often  help  to  correct  a  drift  in  one  or  more  axes.    This  
procedure  does  not  need  to  be  performed  on  every  flight.    It  can  be  

done  once  after  the  initial  installation  of  the  autopilot,  but  should  not  
need  to  be  repeated.  
 

6.6.1. Performing  a  Gyro  Set  

HOLD  THE  AIRCRAFT  STATIONARY  THROUGHOUT  THIS  

PROCEDURE!      

 

To  perform  a  gyro  set,  make  sure  the  autopilot  is  fully  powered  

up  and  showing  AP  OFF  on  the  display.    Press  and  hold  the  KNOB  for  
about  45  seconds.    During  this  time  the  display  will  show  GYRO  SET.    
Once  45  seconds  has  elapsed,  release  the  KNOB.    The  procedure  is  
complete.    Figure  6.6.1a  shows  the  GYRO  SET  screen.
