Autopilot Control Panel 

The  optional  Autopilot  control  panel  (

Figure  29

)  includes  dedicated  buttons  for  engaging  the 

Flight Director, Autopilot, and all modes, including setting up fully coupled approaches; VNAV; 
IAS  Hold;  and  mode  sequencing  (provided  that  the  necessary  IFR  navigation  sources  are 
installed).  It  also  has  a  LEVEL  button  to  immediately  return the  airplane  to  straight and level 
flight. 

 

Figure 29: Autopilot Control Panel 

  Yaw Damper 

The  Yaw  Damper  function,  when  installed,  dampens  yaw  oscillations  induced  by  turbulence, 
which  improves  the  airplanes  ride  quality.  The  function  will  also  keep  the  Slip/Skid  Indicator 
centered during maneuvers.  

The Yaw Damper is engaged independently from the Autopilot and can be engaged when the 
autopilot is not engaged. The Yaw Damper control appears only on the Autopilot Control Menu 
(see 

Figure 28

). To engage the Yaw Damper, select the YD button. The YD button light will turn 

green when engaged, and the Slip/Skid Indicator will appear green, with the letters YD in black, 
as shown in 

Figure 30

. 

Because the Yaw Damper provides active control of the rudder, it should be deactivated when 
manual  flight  maneuvering  is  required,  such  as  when  entering  an  airport  traffic  pattern. 
Disengaging  the  Yaw  Damper  requires  a  pilot  action  such  as  those  described  in 

Table  7

However, if forgotten, applying pressure on a rudder pedal when the Yaw Damper is engaged 
will  just  override  the  Yaw  Damper  and  cause  the  Yaw  Damper  servo  to  slip,  just  as  do  the 
Autopilot servos. 

The Yaw Damper function is not available on all airplanes.
