SV-AP-PANEL
The SV-AP-PANEL, shown in
Figure 5.7.18.12
, has dedicated buttons for all autopilot modes,
including the flight director and level mode. It also has an integrated two channel trim controller
that eliminates the need to equip with relay decks for trim control. The trim controller does not
depend on the autopilot servos and continues to operate independently of them. It has
SkyView-adjustable airspeed-based speed scheduling that can slow down trim motor
movements as airspeed increases and it is even able to continue operation without SkyView as
long as it is receiving aircraft power. Safety features include trim runaway protection and pilot
command priority override.
