Manual
Electric
Pitch
Trim
When
the
autopilot
is
not
engaged
the
pitch
trim
motor
may
be
used
to
provide
a
Manual
Electric
Pitch
Trim
(MEPT)
function.
This
allows
the
pilot
or
co
‐
pilot
to
adjust
pitch
trim
from
the
PITCH
TRIM
switch
on
the
control
stick.
The
MEPT
trim
command
is
routed
through
the
GIA
63Ws
where
the
trim
speeds
are
scheduled
to
provide
easier
control
over
a
wide
speed
or
configuration
range.
In
manual
mode,
the
MEPT
is
routed
through
the
GTA
82.
Activation
of
the
MEPT
(or
Manual
Electric
Roll
Trim)
does
not
disengage
the
Autopilot.
3.2.4
Yaw
Damper
The
yaw
damper
reduces
Dutch
roll
tendencies
and
coordinates
turns.
It
can
operate
independently
of
the
autopilot
and
may
be
used
during
normal
hand
‐
flight
maneuvers.
A
GSA
80
servo
provides
the
control
surface
interface
and
the
mode
selection
occurs
via
the
GMC
705
controller.

The
Perspective™
System
can
interface
with
the
S

to
the
System
55X/55SR
for
normal
operation
of
the
autopilot:
•
Cross

will
allow
the
Perspective™

to
obtain
and
respond
to,
as
needed,
the
following
information
from
the
S
‐
TEC
55X/55SR:
1.

that
would
normally
be
made

In
the
case
of
the
GFC
700,
both
of
the
GIAs
communicate
to
the
servos
through
RS
‐
485.
In
the
case
of
the
S
‐
TEC
autopilot,
the
#2
GIA
outputs
analog
HSI
signals
to
the
S
‐
TEC
55X/55SR,
along
with
ARINC
429
roll
steering,
altitude
data,
and
digital
selected
altitude
data.
