9.1.5.2 Trim Alerts
Trim Alerts will display whenever the Autopilot detects that it is carrying trim loads. These alerts
indicate to the pilot that trim adjustment is necessary. The pilot should adjust the trim in the
direction indicated in the alert until the alert is removed. (See
alerts and where they are located on the PFD.)

9.1.5.3 Slip Trim Alerts
When the Autopilot carries a large trim load for an extended period, the affected servo may begin
to slip. When this occurs, the Autopilot triggers a Slip Trim Alert for the affected axis. When the
alert persists, the aircraft is likely severely out of trim. In this situation disconnect the Autopilot,
trim the aircraft appropriately, and then re-engage the Autopilot. (See
of a Slip Trim Alert).

9.1.5.4 Airspeed High/Low Alerts
Anytime the airplane reaches the minimum or maximum control speeds configured in the
Autopilot, the Autopilot will pitch the nose up or down as required to prevent the airplane from
exceeding these control speeds. Whenever this protective feature is active, the Autopilot informs
the pilot by annunciating these alerts in the area below the vertical control mode annunciations.
(See
for an example of an Airspeed High or Airspeed Low Alert.)
