zero bank is selected. The selected bank angle can be adjusted by

rotating the knob. The angle is selectable in 1° increments up to 5° in

either direction. After 5° the number will move in 5° increments up to a

total of 30° in either direction. If the aircraft makes a turn with 0° bank

selected, press and hold the knob to bring up the gyro trim adjustment.

This value is displayed in degrees per minute. It is adjustable in 0.2°/min

increments up to a total of 10° in either direction. Adjust the trim value

until the aircraft stops turning with 0° bank selected. If an external

heading source (HSI or DG) is present, the EXT mode remains functional,

and if the GPSS/GPSV signal source is functional, the GPSS and

VS(GPSV) modes will also be functional. The remaining modes, NAV,

LOC COURSE, and VNAV navigation should not be used when GPS

track is absent.

Yaw Damper

The Yaw Damper can be used whether or not the autopilot is

engaged. It automatically comes on when the autopilot is engaged.

When the autopilot is not engaged the Yaw Damper can be toggled on or

off by pressing the TRK button. If the autopilot is not engaged, the yaw

damper will automatically disengage at the user selected minimum

airspeed. When the autopilot is not engaged and the yaw damper is

engaged the display will be as shown below.

Vertical Modes

When the autopilot is engaged it will synchronize to the vertical

speed being flown at the time to the nearest 100’. At this time it will be

in the basic vertical speed operating mode. While in this mode, the upper

right section of the display shows altitude and the lower right section

shows SVS (selected vertical speed). This mode can also be entered by

pressing either end of the vertical speed rocker. If the system is in

transition to a selected altitude pressing the appropriate direction of the

vertical speed rocker will switch from airspeed to vertical speed. It will

not cancel the selected altitude unless the selected vertical speed is in the

opposite direction.
