System Overview
GSA 87 SERVO
The GSA 87 servos provide control surface actuation as part of the autopilot, yaw
damper, electric trim, and ESP functions. The GSA 87 is a ‘smart’ servo which performs
most of the autopilot processing functions and offers many inherent safety features.
The brushless motor and electronic torque and speed sensing capabilities provide
smooth, reliable operation. The GSA 87 design incorporates an internal engagement
solenoid and a gear train that allows the motor to be backdriven by the pilot in case
the solenoid fails to disengage. This eliminates the need for a mechanical slip clutch
along with the associated performance limitations and maintenance requirements.

GI 285 ANNUNCIATOR PANEL
The GI 285 Annunciator Panel provides basic AFCS status and mode annunciation
for GFC 600 installations where the GMC 605 cannot be mounted within the pilot’s
primary field of view and there is no PFD capable of providing the annunciations.
