Primus Apex - Automatic Flight Control System
During autopilot operation, a pilot must be seated in a pilot position with seat belt fastened.
The Autopilot (AP) and Yaw Damper (YD) must be OFF during takeoff and landing.
The Autothrottle (AT) must be OFF during landing.
Minimum engagement height after takeoff is 400 ft Above Ground Level (AGL).
Do not engage autopilot while the Tactile Feedback (TF) system is active.
With the exception of the approaches defined below, the autopilot must be disengaged below
1000 ft AGL.
For non-precision and visual approaches (at airspeeds <150 KIAS and VS <1500 ft/min) the
autopilot must be disengaged below 400 ft AGL.
For instrument approach procedures with vertical guidance (APV) and Instrument Landing
System (ILS), the autopilot must be disengaged below 200 ft AGL.
The system is approved for Category 1 operation (Approach mode selected) and autopilot
coupled go-arounds initiated at decision altitude or minimum descent altitude.
Maximum approved glideslope angle for all coupled approaches is 4°.
