NORMAL PROCEDURES
(Continued)
CHANGING ALTITUDE
(Continued)
If the autopilot is engaged in Vertical Speed (VS) mode:
1. UP or DN Button - PUSH momentarily for 100 FPM vertical
speed increments or PUSH and HOLD for 300 ft/min/sec vertical
rate change and RELEASE at the rate desired. The autopilot will
climb or descend at rate selection.
NOTE
•
The autopilot can hold a vertical speed selection only if
engine power and airplane weight are correct for the
conditions. If the vertical speed set for the autopilot is
more than the airplane can supply and airspeed
decreases sufficiently, the airplane can be made to stall.
Make sure that the vertical speed set for the autopilot
results in airplane performance that stays in the
operating limitations of both the autopilot and the
airplane.
•
When operating at or near the best rate-of-climb
airspeed, with the engine set to climb power or when in
vertical speed mode, it can be easy to slow to airspeeds
where any additional reduction in airspeed will result
reduced rate-of-climb. Hold sufficient airspeed during
vertical speed mode operation to avoid a stall.
HEADING (HDG) MODE OPERATION
1. HDG Knob - SET the heading pointer ("bug") on the G1000 HSI
to the correct magnetic heading using the HDG knob on the
PFD.
2. HDG Button - PUSH to engage HDG mode. Make sure that the
HDG
annunciator is shown on the face of the autopilot. The
autopilot will turn the airplane at approximately standard rate
(3°/sec) to lock on to the heading selection.
