Speed (SPD) Hold Mode—The speed (SPD)
hold mode, when pressed, will maintain the air-
plane at the speed existing when the SPD mode
was engaged. Above 29,000 feet, the autopi-
lot will maintain Mach number indicated;
below 29,000 feet, the autopilot will main-
tain indicated airspeed SNs 25-270, -272, and
subsequent.
STABILITY SYSTEM (AFC/SS)
The purpose of the AFC/SS system is to allow
the autopilot to automatically trim the airplane
in the pitch axis using EMER pitch trim at the
higher Mach numbers to help prevent high
speed tuck.
The AFC/SS consists of a pressure switch in
the copilot’s pitot system that activates a warn-
ing horn when 0.78 M
I
(0.79 M
I
, 24 series) is
exceeded and the autopilot is not engaged.

FLIGHT DIRECTOR
SYSTEM
GENERAL
The most common flight director installation
is the Collins FD 108. Each flight director
system includes an attitude director indicator
(ADI), a horizontal situation indicator (HSI),
a mode selector panel, annunciators, and
course and heading select controls located on
the HSI. In addition, the flight director has a
pitch sync switch located on the control
wheels.
The basic attitude reference mode is ener-
gized when AC and DC power is applied to the
airplane, but with no modes selected on the
mode selector panel. It provides indication of
airplane heading on the HSI and roll and pitch
attitude and sideslip on the ADI. The ADI
command bars (V-bars) are biased out of view.
The flight director system provides visual
commands to the pilot to manually maintain
a desired altitude, capture and maintain a de-
sired heading, capture and maintain a desired
VOR course, and capture and maintain an ILS
course and glide path.
