SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The KFC 230 AeroCruze autopilot is operated by a set of hybrid controls
on the autopilot panel, using dual concentric knobs, soft buttons, a
touchscreen display, and a set of dedicated controls.
CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS
The autopilot touchscreen buttons control the engagement/
disengagement of general functions, and control lateral and vertical
modes. The panel soft-touch up/down buttons control airspeed/
vertical speed targets, pitch reference, and fine altitude tuning in ALT
mode. An altitude selector knob is used to preselect the desired altitude.
The panel touch controls use color references to display active
functions in green, while the content within each button displays the
targets that the autopilot is actively working to maintain. Annunciation
of active modes are readily displayed on the autopilot touchscreen by
a green active indicator box serving as the primary, while the green text
and green border serve as a secondary confirmation (excl. LVL, which
displays a light blue indicator box, light blue text and light blue border).
