zero bank is selected. The selected bank angle can be adjusted by
rotating the knob. The angle is selectable in 1° increments up to 5° in
either direction. After 5° the number will move in 5° increments up to a
total of 30° in either direction. If the aircraft makes a turn with 0° bank
selected, press and hold the knob to bring up the gyro trim adjustment.
This value is displayed in degrees per minute. It is adjustable in 0.2°/min
increments up to a total of 10° in either direction. Adjust the trim value
until the aircraft stops turning with 0° bank selected. If an external
heading source (HSI or DG) is present, the
EXT mode remains functional,
and if the GPSS/GPSV signal source is functional, the GPSS and
VS(GPSV) modes will also be functional. The remaining modes,
NAV,
LOC COURSE, and VNAV navigation should not be used when GPS
track is absent.
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 selected 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 to the nearest 100’. At this time it will be
in the basic vertical speed operating mode. While in this mode, the upper
right section of the display shows altitude and the lower right section
shows
SVS (selected vertical speed). This mode can also be 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.
