General Precautions
The approved Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) always supersedes the in-
formation in this manual.
Refer to the approved Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for emergency pro-
cedures.

User Interface
Amigo user interface was carefully designed with an ease of operation in mind.
The result is a device with only two rotary knobs and two push-buttons which
provides the pilot easy access to most commonly used autopilot functions.
LCD display is divided in two screens: lateral modes (upper half) and verti-
cal modes (lower half). Each of the screen displays relevant information for
selected lateral/vertical mode.
Figure 2 illustrates knobs, push buttons and LCD screen division.
