•
Loss of the AHRS will cause the autopilot to disconnect. The autopilot and
flight director will be inoperative. Manual electric trim will be available.
•
Loss of the heading function of the AHRS will result in loss of the HDG
mode. If in HDG mode at the time heading is lost, the autopilot will revert
to basic roll mode (ROL).
•
Loss of the MFD will not cause the autopilot to disconnect, and will remain
engaged with limited functionality, but the autopilot cannot be re-engaged
once disconnected.
•
Loss of the PFD will cause the autopilot to disconnect. The autopilot and
flight director will be inoperative. Manual electric trim will be available.
•
Loss of air data computer information will cause the autopilot to
disconnect. The autopilot will be inoperative. The flight director will be
available except for air data modes (ALT, VS, FLC). Manual electric trim
is available.
•
Loss of GIA #1 will cause the autopilot to disconnect. The autopilot, flight
director and manual electric trim will be inoperative. Loss of GIA #2 will
also prevent autopilot and manual electric trim operation, but flight director
will be available.
•
Loss of the standby airspeed indicator, standby attitude indicator, standby
altimeter, or standby compass will have no effect on the autopilot.
•
Loss of both GPS systems will cause the autopilot and flight director to
operate in NAV modes (LOC, BC, VOR, VAPP) with reduced accuracy.
Course intercept and station crossing performance may be improved by
executing intercepts and station crossings in HDG mode, then reselecting
NAV mode.
WARNING
FOLLOWING AN AUTOPILOT OR ELECTRIC TRIM
MALFUNCTION, DO NOT RE-ENGAGE THE AUTOPILOT OR
MANUAL ELECTRIC TRIM, OR RESET THE AFCS CIRCUIT
BREAKER, UNTIL THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN
DETERMINED AND CORRECTED.
Normal autopilot disconnects are annunciated with a yellow flashing AP on the
PFD accompanied by a two second autopilot disconnect tone. Normal
disconnects are those initiated by the pilot with the AP DISC switch, the MET
switch, the AP button on the MFD mode controller, or the GA button.
Abnormal disconnects will be accompanied by a red flashing AP on the PFD
accompanied by a continuous autopilot disconnect tone. The disconnect tone
and flashing alert may be cancelled by pressing the AP DISC switch or the left
side of the MET switch.
