3. Autopilot  Power  Up

 

It   is   essential   that   the   aircraft   be  
stationary  during  the  power  up  sequence!  
 

 

The   autopilot   master   switch   should   be   in   the   off   position   when  

the  engine  is  started.    After  starting  the  aircraft  engine,  turn  on  the  
autopilot   master   switch   and   keep   the   aircraft   stationary   as   the  
internal   gyros   are   initialized.     This   takes   approximately   20   seconds  
during  which  time  the  display  will  first  show  the  autopilot  type  and  
software  version  in  lower  portion  of  the  screen.    This  is  displayed  for  

the  first  10  seconds.    Autopilot  type  and  software  version  is  shown  in  
figure  3a.

Following   the   autopilot   type   and   software   version   screens,   the  

display   show   the   words   PWR   UP   in   the   lower   right,   as   shown   in  
figure  3b.

When  the  power  up  sequence  is  complete  PWR  UP  will  change  

to   AP   OFF,   as   shown   in   figure   3c.     Once   AP   OFF   is   displayed,   the  
aircraft  can  be  moved  without  introducing  centering  errors  into  the  
internal  gyros.

Note:   Before   using   the   autopilot,   an   altimeter   sync   should   be  
completed.    See  section  6.1  for  altimeter  sync  instructions
