Slowest Auto
Trim Motor
Speed (expert
configuration)
The GSA 28 yaw damper has the ability to drive the auxiliary rudder
trim motor at various speeds.
The Slowest Auto Trim Motor Speed should be set so the auxiliary
trim motor will move as slowly as possible. The slowest possible
movement will ensure that there is no noticeable aircraft response
when the auxiliary trim motor is run during autotrim.
The Slowest Auto Trim Motor Speed can be adjusted from 5% to
100% in 5% steps.
Maximum Trim
Run Time
The GSA 28 servos can limit the maximum continuous run time of
the trim motor. This can be used to help prevent the potential for a
trim runaway situation.
The Maximum Trim Run Time Limit is the maximum amount of time
the trim servo will be run continuously when a manual electric trim
input is detected. If the maximum time is exceeded, the pilot will
need to release the Manual Electric Trim (MET) control and then
reassert it to continue running trim.
Ball Centering
Gain
(expert
configuration)
The GSA 28 yaw damper is capable of zeroing the aircraft’s lateral
acceleration or centering the ball as well as dampening aircraft yaw
rates.
Ball Centering Gain is an expert configuration setting and should
only be changed by the installer if the yaw damper is not properly
zeroing the aircraft’s lateral acceleration.
Increasing the Ball Centering Gain will cause the yaw damper
to more aggressively respond to non-zero lateral acceleration.
Decreasing the Ball Centering Gain will cause the yaw damper to
respond less aggressively to non-zero lateral acceleration.
Yaw Rate Filter
Constant (expert
configuration
)
The GSA 28 yaw damper is capable of dampening yaw body rates
to keep the aircraft from shaking its tail. The Yaw Rate Filter
Constant is used to filter the aircraft yaw body rate.
Yaw Rate Filter Constant is an expert configuration setting, and
should generally be not be changed by the installer. The default
value is 0.08.
