ROLL GAIN ADJUSTMENT

This in–flight adjustment is made in a bank when the ground returns do
not remain symmetrical during turns. The procedure is listed in table
7–6.

Step

Procedure

ÁÁÁ

ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ

If two controllers are installed, one must be turned off. If an
indicator is used as the controller, the procedure is the
same as given below.

ÁÁÁ

ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ

Fly to an altitude of 10,000 feet AGL or greater.

ÁÁÁ

ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ

Set range to 50 NM.

ÁÁÁ

ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ

Adjust the tilt down until a solid band of ground returns are
shown on the screen. Then adjust the tilt until the green
region of the ground returns start at about 40 NM.

ÁÁÁ

ÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ

Select STAB (STB) 4 times within 3 seconds. A display
with text instructions for roll offset is shown.
