AUTOPILOT DESCRIPTION
Ed. 1, Rev.0
GFC 700 is an integrated autopilot since it uses several information provided by other units em-
bodied in the G1000 avionics suite in order to compute the maneuvers to be performed by the aer-
oplane and actuate them. The below table lists the functions which are required in order to have
the GFC 700 operational and the G1000 LRUs responsible for providing it:

Trim functionality
In control of the roll axis, the autopilot senses turn rate, as well as closure rate to the selected
course, along with the non-rate quantities of heading error, course error and course deviation
indication.
In control of the pitch axis, the autopilot senses vertical speed, acceleration, and closure rate
to the selected glideslope, along with the non-rate quantities of altitude and glideslope devia-
tion indication.
The ―autotrim‖ function senses when the aircraft needs to be trimmed about the pitch axis,
and responds by driving the trim servo in the proper direction to provide trim.
