5.2  AP Modes 

HDG: HEADING MODE – ROLL SERVO 

In Heading Mode, the AP uses the roll servo to 
control the aircraft’s magnetic heading. 

You may adjust the heading bug to direct the 
aircraft to a new target heading with the AP 
engaged. 

NOTE: The magnetic heading is affected by wind. 

TRK: GROUND TRACK MODE – ROLL SERVO 

In Track Mode, the AP uses the roll servo to 
control the aircraft’s GPS ground track. 

You may adjust the heading bug to direct the 
aircraft to a new target track with the AP engaged. 

180: 180º TURN MODE – ROLL AND PITCH 
SERVOS 

This mode initiates a quick turnaround. The AP 
enagages both servos to hold altitude in a left turn 
until the aircraft is flying in the opposite direction, 
and then remains in TRK and ALT hold modes. 

NAV: GPS NAVIGATION MODE – ROLL SERVO  To use the GPS-based NAV mode, the GPS must 

have an active waypoint. When engaged, the AP 
takes instruction from the GPS unit’s horizontal 
navigation information. 

ALT: ALTITUDE MODE – PITCH SERVO 

In Altitude Mode, the AP uses the pitch servo to 
control the aircraft’s altitude. 

You may adjust the altitude bug to direct the 
aircraft to a new target altitude with the AP 
engaged. 

NOTE

:  

Input to engine power management is required to 
climb or descend the aircraft within normal 
operating airspeeds. 

 

5.3  EFIS Autopilot Control 

 

This section describes the various AP 
control functions available via the EFIS > 
AP menu. 

 

The AP menu includes the buttons

5.3.1 Mode -(H, T, or N) 

 

The MODE button is followed by the 
currently active lateral mode: H (HDG), T 
(TRK), or N(NAV). 

Pressing this button brings up another 
menu where you can select the armed AP 
mode. As soon asyou select a mode, the
