KAP 140 WITH ALTITUDE PRESELECT
1. PITCH AXIS (P) ANNUNCIATOR - When illuminated,
indicates failure of pitch axis and will either disengage the
autopilot or not allow engagement of the pitch axis. In
turbulent air, will illuminate during abnormal
vertical/accelerations.
2. AUTOPILOT ENGAGE/DISENGAGE (AP) BUTTON - When
pressed and held (approx. 0.25 seconds), engages autopilot
if all preflight self-test conditions are met. The autopilot will
engage in the basic roll (ROL) mode which functions as a
wing leveler and the pitch axis vertical speed (VS) mode. The
commanded vertical speed will be displayed in the upper
right corner of autopilot display area. The captured VS will
be the vertical speed present at the moment the AP button is
pressed. The button may also be used to disengage the
autopilot.
3. ROLL AXIS (R) ANNUNCIATOR - When illuminated,
