ROLL ENGAGEMENT
Roll Limit Indicators are displayed on the roll scale at 45° right and left, indicating
where ESP will engage. As roll attitude exceeds 45°, ESP will engage and the on-side
Roll Limit Indicator will move to 30°. The Roll Limit Indicator is now showing where
ESP will disengage as roll attitude decreases.
Once engaged, ESP force will be applied between 30
°
and 75
°
. The force increases
as roll attitude increases and decreases as roll attitude decreases. The applied force
is intended to encourage pilot input that returns the airplane to a more normal roll
attitude. As roll attitude decreases, ESP will disengage at 30°.
ESP is automatically disengaged if the aircraft reaches the autopilot roll engagement
attitude limit of 75
°
.
PITCH ENGAGEMENT
ESP pitch engagement parameters are set specifically for each aircraft model. The
following tables shows specific engagement angles, maximum opposing force angles
and disengagement limits. Once ESP is engaged, it will apply opposing force be-
tween approximately 15
°
and 50
°
nose-up and between approximately 12
°
and 50
°
nose-down. Maximum opposing force is applied between approximately 25
°
and 50
°
nose-up and between approximately 22
°
and 50
°
nose-down. ESP pitch engagement
parameters are set specifically for each aircraft model.
The opposing force increases or decreases depending on the pitch angle and the
direction of pitch travel. This force is intended to encourage movement in the pitch
axis in the direction of the normal pitch attitude range for the aircraft.
There are no indications marking the pitch ESP engage and disengage limits in
these nose-up/nose-down conditions.
