3.1 System Fifty Five X Autopilot Overview
The System Fifty Five X is a rate autopilot that controls the roll and pitch axes
of the aircraft. The autopilot's main function is to convert pilot commands to
logic signals for the roll and pitch computers. As the pilot enters the desired
mode by pressing the appropriate mode selector switch, the computer
acknowledges the mode, causing the appropriate annunciator to illuminate.
The Roll Computer receives select input signals from the Directional Gyro
(DG) or Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI), Very High Frequency Omni-
directional Radio (VOR), Localizer (LOC) or Global Positioning System (GPS),
Deviation Indicators, and the Turn Coordinator. It then computes roll servo
commands for stabilization, turns, navigation intercepts, and tracking.
Sensing for trim annunciation or automatic elevator trim is provided by the
pitch servo. Drive for the elevator trim servo is provided by the pitch computer.
