GFC 700 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Some emergency situations require immediate memorized corrective action.
These numbered steps are printed in boxes within the emergency procedures
and should be accomplished without the aid of the checklist.
AUTOPILOT OR ELECTRIC TRIM MALFUNCTION/FAILURE
NOTE
An autopilot or electric trim malfunction may be recognized by an unexpected
deviation from the desired flight path, abnormal flight control or trim wheel
movement, or flight director commands which cause unexpected or
contradictory information on the other cockpit displays. It may be accompanied
by the aural autopilot disconnect tone, a red AFCS, red AP or yellow AP
indication on the PFD, or a yellow CHECK ATTITUDE on the PFD. The
autopilot and AHRS monitors normally detect failures and automatically
disconnect the autopilot.
Failure of the electric pitch trim, indicated by a red boxed PTRM indication on
the PFD, may not cause the autopilot to disconnect. Be alert to possible
autopilot out of trim conditions (see AUTOPILOT OUT OF TRIM procedure
below), and expect residual control forces upon disconnect. The autopilot will
not re-engage after disconnect with failed pitch trim. If AUTOPILOT OUT OF
TRIM ELE indication is present, expect substantial elevator forces on autopilot
disconnect.
