by
placing
the
aircraft
in

flight,
in
neutral
trim,
on
a
fixed
heading.
Try
to
maintain
a
constant
altitude
during
the
procedure.
2.

the
Autopilot
(AP)
in
TRK+ALT
mod
To

the
DG
changes
to
the
track
(TRK)
bug
in
track
mode.
3.
Allow
a
few
minutes
of
stable
flight
under
AP
control
Ensure
that
you
are
not
affecting
the
autopilot’s
control
of
the
roll
axis,
so
you
can
determine
the
autopilot’s
track
hold
and
turn
performance.
4.
Change
the
TRK
target
90
degrees
from
the
current
target
Change
the
heading
bug
to
90
degrees
to

5.
Check
for
ROLL
SLIP
indications
Observe
the
autopilot
status
indicator
on
the
Top
Bar
while
the
autopilot
flies.
If
the
banner
is
shown
frequently,
it
is
an
indication
that
the
roll
servo
is
slipping
and
the
servo
torque
needs
to
be
increased.
Occasional
slips
due
to
turbulence
are
acceptable.
If
frequent
ROLL
SLIPS
are
observed,
disconnect
the
autopilot
and
increase
ROLL
TORQUE
by
10%
(SETUP
MENU
>
AUTOPILOT
SETUP
>
ROLL
AXIS
>
TORQUE).
If
you
have
adjusted
the
roll
servo
torque
to
100%
and
are
still
seeing
frequent
slips,
you
may
need
to
try
a
higher
strength
servo
(e.g.,
if
you
have
an
SV32
installed,
try
swapping
for
an
SV42).
Contact
Dynon
for
assistance.
6.
Check
if
aircraft
is
slow
to
respond
Observe
the
speed
at
which
the
autopilot
responds
to
changes
in
TRK
setting.
If
the
autopilot
seems
too
slow
to
respond
or
“sluggish”,
disconnect
the
autopilot
and
increase
ROLL
SENSITIVITY
by
2
(SETUP
MENU
>
AUTOPILOT
SETUP
>
ROLL
AXIS
>
SENSITIVITY).
