AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
OVERSPEED PROTECTION
While in Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode, airspeed is monitored by the flight director.
In these modes, commands are limited for overspeed protection. Overspeed protection is provided to ensure the
flight director cannot command an attitude which would exceed the certified maximum autopilot airspeed.
When an autopilot overspeed warning occurs, the Airspeed Reference appears in a box above the Airspeed
Indicator, flashing a yellow ‘MAXSPD’ annunciation. Engine power should be reduced and/or the pitch reference
adjusted to slow the aircraft. The annunciation disappears when the overspeed condition is resolved.
