•The High Pitch setting can be trimmed con-
veniently during flight by using the High Pitch
Trim Lever. A maximum adjustment of ±25%
is possible. Sensitivity of the trim lever can be
adjusted by moving the cursor to the LEVER
•The setting method is the same for the NOR,
ID1, ID2, and HLD curves and is described

pitch curve by pressing the program key.
3) Switch the airborne system ON and set the

Pitch Curve Point Setting Method
• Once the basic settings are made, the curve can
be further refined utilizing the Point Cursor in
conjunction with the curve display graph on
the right side of the screen.
• The pitch curve displayed on the graph is divid-
ed into 11 equal parts. There are 12 individual
dots or "points" that represent the curve on
the graphic display. Each of these points can
be individually adjusted UP or DOWN using
the "Point Cursor".
