The Flight Director is automatically disabled if the attitude information required to
compute the default Flight Director modes becomes invalid or unavailable.
DISENGAGING THE AUTOPILOT
The Autopilot is manually disengaged by pressing the
AP
key on the GMC 605 or by
pressing the autopilot disconnect button or MET switch on the control stick or yoke.
Manual disengagement is indicated by an aural alert and the AP LED on the GMC 605
flashing yellow for five seconds. The AP indication on the GI 285 also flashes yellow.
The aural alert and flashing annunciations can be canceled by an additional press of
the autopilot disconnect button.
Automatic disengagement is indicated by an aural alert and the AP LED on the GMC
605 flashing red. The AP indication on the GI 285 also flashes red. The aural alert
and flashing annunciations continue until acknowledged by pressing the
AP
key or
the autopilot disconnect button. Automatic disengagement may occur due to a failure
within the GFC 600 system, loss of both GPS and air data inputs, strong turbulence, or
exceeding the engagement attitude limits.

NOTE:
Flight Director command bars may be displayed on a Garmin PFD or
an Aspen EFD 1000.
The Flight Director function provides pitch and roll commands to the autopilot and
displays them on the PFD. With the Flight Director active, the aircraft can be hand-
flown to follow the path shown by the command bars or the autopilot can be engaged
to follow the commands.
