The Autopilot Menu is illustrated in Figure 139.
Figure 139–AP Menu
All of the buttons in Figure 139 are explained in the following sections in the order they show
up in the AP Menu from left to right.
Back
Press the BACK button to return to the Main Menu.
HDG:[ON or OFF], TRK:[ON or OFF], or NAV:[ON or OFF]
Button 2 in the AP Menu has several purposes. It indicates the armed roll axis mode, the state
of the axis, and is a way for the user to engage or disengage the roll axis.
The mode is indicated with a prefix: HDG, TRK, or NAV.
HDG
indicates the roll axis is armed in heading mode.
TRK
indicates the roll axis is armed in ground track mode.
NAV
indicates the roll axis is armed in navigation mode.
Two visual indicators are used to denote the state of the roll axis: text and the appearance of
the button label. An ON suffix means the roll axis is engaged. An OFF suffix denotes that the roll
axis is disengaged. When engaged, the roll axis button label is highlighted (e.g.,
).
You may engage or disengage the roll axis by pressing button 2.
Roll Axis Mode
Button 3 in the AP Menu opens the menu where a user may set the autopilot roll axis mode.
The mode can be set to heading (HDG), GPS ground track (TRK), or navigation (NAV) mode.
Pressing HDG, TRK, NAV, or BACK immediately exits the Roll Axis Mode Menu.
Setting SYNC in the Roll Axis Mode Menu only affects the behavior of the roll axis at the point of
engagement. When highlighted, SYNC configures the autopilot to synchronize the roll axis
target with the current heading or track when the roll axis is engaged. Pressing SYNC does not
exit the Roll Axis Mode Menu.
