reacts to trim adjustments of the elevator. Otherwise, the mix 
ignores elevator trim changes. 
18. If the model is equipped with flaps, scroll to the function field 
(“AILE” or “FLAP”) and press the jog dial to activate the menu. 
Otherwise, skip to step 21.

19. Rotate the jog dial to select “FLAP” and press the jog dial to 
confirm your selection.

the jog dial to confirm your selection.

a. If you choose the “NULL” option, the mix will remain active at 
all times for this model.

- The switch position menu will appear. Scroll to highlight the 
switch position that you will use to enable the mix. Press the jog 
dial to confirm your selection. 

21. Scroll to the “S/W” field and press the jog dial twice to 
activate the menu.

- Scroll to select “ON” and press the jog dial to confirm your 
selection. If you toggle the selected switch, the field in the top 
right corner of the screen will indicate when the mix is active. 

23. Press the back button to return to the model function menu.

If you are using multiple flight conditions, you must define elevator-camber mix values for each flight 
condition. The top field of the ELEV-CAMB menu allows you to select the desired flight condition. 
Alternately, you may select the desired flight condition using the assigned F.Cond switch.

To disable the elevator-to-camber mix:

1. Scroll to highlight the “MIX” field in the elevator-camber mix 
menu and press the jog dial to activate the menu. 

2. Select “INH” (inhibit) and press the jog dial to confirm your 
selection. 

3. Press the back button to return to the model function menu.
