Vizion Ground Checkout
Once installation and setup of the autopilot are complete (see Operation Manual for setup and operation instructions), a
ground checkout is a good idea before the first flight of the system. This is a simple procedure to verify that the servos
move in the correct direction. Follow the steps below to verify this:
-1) Center both the aileron and elevator control surfaces.
-2) Engage the autopilot.
-3) Turn the knob clockwise, make sure the controls move to the right (stick) or clockwise (yoke).
-4) Turn the knob counter-clockwise. It must be turned enough to select a left bank angle. Make sure the controls move
to the left (stick) or counter-clockwise (yoke).
-5) Push the knob to move the cursor to SVS and turn the knob clockwise to select a climb rate. Make sure the controls
move aft. The cursor will return to the Bank selection after three seconds.
-6) Push the knob to move the cursor to SVS and turn the knob counter-clockwise. It must be turned enough to select a
rate of descent on the autopilot display. Make sure the controls move forward.
If steps 2-6 are all verified then the Vizion is ready to be engaged in flight.
