4.8 Slip Setup

 

Slip Display:

Select if you would like to enable the slip indicator to be shown on the bottom of the display.

Slip Sense:

Select if you want the slip to have a high sensitivity or a low sensitivity setting.

Slip Zero:

This function allows you to set your slip indicator to exactly zero even if your aircraft tends to fly slightly wing down. The
procedure is to place the aircraft in a stable, straight and level attitude during calm flight conditions and then select this
function. To cancel the correction, place your sensor absolutely horizontal (use a spirit level) and select the function
again.
