Limitations SR20
8. Flaps must be set to 50% for autopilot operation in Altitude Hold at
airspeeds below 95 KIAS.
9. Flap deflection is limited to 50% during autopilot operations.
10. The autopilot must be disconnected in moderate or severe
turbulence.
11. Minimum engage height for the autopilot is 400 ft AGL.
• WARNING •
Autopilot may not be able to maintain all selectable vertical
speeds. Selecting a vertical speed that exceeds the aircraft’s
available performance may cause the aircraft to stall.
12. Minimum speed with the autopilot engaged is 1.2V
s
for the given
configuration.
13. For VOR/GPS and ILS glideslope and localizer intercept, capture,
and tracking, the following limitations apply:
a. The autopilot must be disengaged no later than 100 feet
below the Minimum Descent Altitude.
b. The autopilot must be disconnected during approach if course
deviation exceeds 50%. The approach should only be
continued by “hand-flying” the airplane.
c. The autopilot must be disengaged at the Decision Height.
d. 12 knot maximum crosswind component between the missed
approach point and outer marker.
e. The intercept of the localizer shall occur at least 5 miles
outside of the outer marker.
f. If the crosswind component is greater than 12 knots and less
than 17 knots, the intercept shall occur at least 10 miles
outside of the outer marker.
g. The intercept angle shall be no greater than a 45-degree
intercept.
h. The ILS is flown at normal approach speeds, and within any
STC or TC speed constraints and as defined in this flight
manual.
