1. INTRODUCTION
Section 3 includes checklists and detailed procedures for coping various types of
emergency conditions that could arise.
Before operating the aircraft, the pilot should become thoroughly familiar with
the Garmin G950 Pilot‟s Guide for Tecnam P2006T (P/N 190-01146-00) – last
issue - and, in particular, with the present AFM Section.
For the safe conduct of later flights, any anomaly and/or fail-
NOTE ure must be communicated to the Authorities in charge of
this, in order to put the aircraft in a fully operational and safe
condition.
2. FAILURES LIST
Hereinafter they are reported likely failures/critical conditions that could arise in
flight and that can lead to hazardous situations if not promptly faced in accor-
dance with the procedures addressed in this Flight Manual Section.
Failures and alerts can be broken down as follows:
3. AIRPLANE ALERTS
Annunciation Window, located to the right of the Altimeter and Vertical Speed
Indicator, supplies 16 alerts for warnings and cautions along with safe operating
annunciations. The colours are as follows:
In event of both L and R ALT FAIL caution alerts displayed, apply following pro-
cedure:
OR
R ALT FAIL Rh Generator
In event of both L and R BUS VOLT HIGH warning alerts displayed, apply fol-
lowing procedure:
NOTE The battery can supply electrical power for at least 30 minutes.
OR
R BUS VOLT HIGH Rh overvoltage
In event of L or R BUS VOLT HIGH warning alert displayed, apply the follow-
ing procedure:
2 AVIONIC LH OFF
3 ADF OFF
OR
REAR DR OPEN Rear door open
When a door is open and/or unlocked, related PILOT or REAR DR OPEN alert is
displayed. In this case, apply following procedure:
ON THE GROUND
When the Pitot Heating system is activated, the green PITOT HEAT ON safe
operating annunciation is ON; if the amber PITOT HEAT caution alert turns
OFF, then the Pitot Heating system is functioning properly. Anytime the amber
PITOT HEAT caution alert is ON at the same time the green PITOT HEAT ON
safe operating annunciation is ON, then the Pitot Heating system is not function-
ing properly.
OR
R COOLANT LOW Rh Low Coolant
When the engine coolant liquid level goes under the lower limit, the related L or R
COOLANT LOW warning alert is displayed. Low coolant level condition leads to
a high CHT. When the warning is displayed, apply following procedure:
The GEAR PUMP ON caution alert is displayed when the landing gear hydraulic
pump is electrically supplied.
After the landing gear retraction, if the TRANS red light is turned OFF and the
GEAR PUMP ON caution stays displayed, this could be the effect of an electrical
failure.
OR
RH ENGINE FIRE Right engine fire detected
AIRSPEED FAIL
(RED X ON DISPLAY FIELD)
ATTITUDE FAIL
(RED X ON DISPLAY FIELD)
ALTITUDE FAIL
(RED X ON DISPLAY FIELD)
HDG
(RED X ON DISPLAY FIELD)
In the event of a display failure, the G950 System automatically switches to re-
versionary (backup) mode. In reversionary mode, all important flight information
is presented on the remaining display in the same format as in normal operating
mode. The change to backup paths is completely automated for all LRUs and no
pilot action is required.
5. ENGINE SECURING
Following procedure is applicable to shut-down one engine in flight:
6. POWERPLANT EMERGENCIES
If it is not possible to decrease propeller rpm, apply affected engine securing pro-
cedure (see Para..5) and land as soon as practical applying one engine inopera-
tive landing procedure (See Para. 8.6).
2. If CHT stays high: increase the speed, reduce the affected engine power fur-
ther and land as soon as practical
If oil temperature does not come back within the limits, the thermo-
static valve, regulating the oil flow to the heat exchangers, could be
damaged. In this case:
Affected engine: apply engine securing procedure (see Para. 5) and land as soon
as practical applying one engine inoperative landing procedure (See Para. 8.6).
7. OTHER EMERGENCIES
If failure persists
DURING TAKEOFF
The carburettor icing in “full throttle” mode is unlikely, so the takeoff must nor-
mally be performed with carburettor heat OFF.
IN FLIGHT
With external temperatures below 15° C, or on rainy days or with humid, cloudy,
hazy or foggy conditions or whenever a power loss is detected, activate carburet-
tor heat until the engine power is restored.
DURING TAKEOFF
DURING APPROACH/LANDING
Depending upon the circumstances that may arise, apply the emer-
gency procedure as below.
In case of one engine inoperative condition, pilot shall take into account the air-
speeds shown below:
Speed
Conditions
(KIAS)
Minimum aircraft control speed with one engine inoperative and
62
flaps set to T.O. (VMC)
Best rate-of-climb speed with one engine inoperative (VYSE) 80
NOTE If the fuel quantity in the tank which feeds the stopped engine is
low, select the opposite side fuel tank by means of the fuel se-
lector.
Failed Engine
Once in flight
At safe altitude
Preparation:
The procedure applies in cases where the nose landing gear is not completely
extended and locked as a result of applying the emergency extension.
In this case:
- perform landing with nose up attitude and keep nose up as long as pos-
sible, then apply aircraft evacuation procedure (see Para. 13).
Preparation
6. Land keeping a slight nose-up attitude and keeping the wings levelled.
7. Just before ground contact - Ignitions: ALL OFF
If the TRANS light is turned on, at least one leg is moving: apply following pro-
cedure:
AFTER ROTATION
1. Emergency light ON
2. Standby attitude indicator switch ON
3. FIELD LH and RH BOTH OFF
4. CROSS BUS LH and RH BOTH OFF
5. Cabin ventilation OPEN if required
6. Verify the effect on the smoke
7. If practical, gain VMC conditions
If smoke persists:
1. MASTER SWITCH OFF
2. FIELD RH ON
3. Verify the effect on the smoke
4. FIELD LH ON
If smoke persists
1. Airspeed 90 KIAS
2. Flaps Only in base/final leg
3. Landing gear control lever DOWN
Perform landing with nose up attitude and keep nose up as long as possible.
1. Flaps FULL
2. Align the aircraft with the side of the runway opposite to the side of
the deflated tire.
3. First contact with tire inflated, keep the aircraft banked as long as
possible.
4. Keep the heading control
Should you be in the need of avoiding impact with any obstacles on the runway
14. DITCHING
1. Landing gear UP
2. Safety belts FASTEN
3. Flaps FULL
Contact with water must be done with the wave parallel to the direction of flight
and with the nose up. Once in the water, the aircraft must be evacuated using the
following procedure:

1. INTRODUCTION
This section provides aircraft and systems description and operation.
2. AIRFRAME
2.1. WING
Each wing consists of a central light alloy torque box which carries all the wing
bending, shear and torque loads; an aluminium leading edge is attached to the
front spar while flap and aileron are hinged to the rear spar.
The torque box houses an integrated fuel tank and supports the engine mount.
Flap and aileron, respectively located inboard and outboard of wing and made up
of light alloy, are constructed with a central spar to which front and rear ribs are
jointed. Wrapped-around aluminium stressed skin panels cover all the structures.
Steel alloy attachments connect left and right wing to each other.
Following figure shows the left wing fitted with the engine nacelle, fuel tank and
composite winglet. Steel alloy attachments link left and right wing to each other.
2.2. FUSELAGE
The fuselage is constituted by a light-alloy semi-monocoque structure wrapped-
around by stressed skin panels. Radome and stern fairing are of composite mate-
rial. Cabin and baggage compartment floor is a warping of beams and keelsons
supporting the seats guides and other components.
Two spar frames support on the top the wings attachments and on the bottom the
sponson beans sustaining the main landing gear. The forward frame, to which ra-
dome is connected, supports a steel trestle to which the nose landing gear is con-
nected.
The front and rear seats access occur by means of two doors located in the oppo-
site sides of the fuselage; a ditching emergency exit is available on the top of the
cabin. In tail cone, two spar frames support the horizontal and vertical empen-
nages attachments.
2.3. EMPENNAGES
The vertical tail is entirely metallic: vertical fin is made up of a twin spar with
aluminium alloy stressed skin. Rudder, providing directional control of the air-
plane, is made up of aluminium alloy.
The rudder is connected to the vertical tail at two hinge points. A trim tab system
increases directional stability of the airplane.
3. POWERPLANT
P2006T is equipped with two four-cylinder four-stroke Rotax 912S engines of
98hp (73kW) each, both rotating clockwise. These are partially liquid cooled and
they feature an integrated reduction gear driving constant speed propellers with
pitch feathering devices.
Cooling system is designed for liquid cooling of the cylinders heads and ram-air
cooling of the cylinders. The liquid system is a closed circuit with an overflow
bottle and an expansion tank.
The coolant flow is forced by a water pump, driven from the camshaft, from the
radiator to the cylinder heads. From the top of the cylinder heads the coolant
passes on to the expansion tank (item 1, Figure below). Since the standard loca-
tion of the radiator (2) is below engine level, the expansion tank, located on top of
the engine, allows for coolant expansion.
The expansion tank is closed by a pressure cap (3) fitted with pressure relief valve
and return valve. At temperature rise and expansion of the coolant, the pressure re-
lief valve opens and the coolant will flow via a hose at atmospheric pressure to the
transparent overflow bottle (4). Once cooled down, the coolant will be sucked
back into the cooling circuit.
The engine is provided with a dry sump forced lubrication system with an oil
pump with integrated pressure regulator. A thermostatic valve regulates the oil
flow to the heat exchanger (oil radiator) on the basis of oil temperature: this al-
lows the engine starting in cold conditions.
The oil tank is installed behind the firewall protected from heat sources. Some
holes on the bracket structure allow for air ventilation
The reservoir is fitted with a dipstick; a hose, immediately located beneath the fil-
ler cap, allows for oil relief discharged in a safe zone in the cowling, far from ex-
hausts and other heat sources.
Following powerplant instruments are provided:
LH and RH RPM Indicator
LH and RH Manifold Pressure Indicator
LH and RH Oil Pressure Indicator
LH and RH Oil Temperature Indicator

6. INTERNAL LIGHTS
Internal lights system is composed by following equipment:
• Cabin light, providing lighting for crew and passengers compartment;
• Instruments lights, which in turn are composed by three sub-systems each one fit-
ted with dimming device:
Switches built-in lights
Avionics lights
Cockpit lights
• Emergency light
The cabin light is a ceiling light, fitted with control switches, located on the over-
head panel in correspondence of the crew seats.
About the instrument lights (controlled by a switch on the RH instrument panel),
the switches built-in lights concern the instrument panels switches lighting, the
avionics lights concern the avionic equipment lighting and the cockpit lights con-
cern two lights located on the over-head panel illuminating LH and RH instrument
panels (see Figure below).
All above mentioned lights are supplied by the battery bus apart from the Emer-
gency light which is directly connected to the battery. It is a five-leds light located
in the over-head panel (see Figure below) controlled by a switch installed on the
LH breakers rack.
7. EXTERNAL LIGHTS
External lights system consists of the following equipment (see Figure below):
• NAV Lights: they provide, by means of three position lights, the aircraft flight
direction identification.
• Strobe Lights: they provide aircraft identification to prevent collision. They are
located, like the above mentioned NAV lights, on the winglets and on the top of
the vertical fin.
• Taxi Light: supports taxi maneuvering on the ground at night. It is installed on
the left wing leading edge.
• Landing Light: provides ground reference information during final approach,
touchdown, ground roll and take off and illuminates any major obstructions in the
airplane approach glide path or on runway at night. It is installed on the left wing
leading edge.
All mentioned lights, whose circuits are protected by dedicated breakers, are acti-
vated by the related switches on the right instrument panel: see below.
8. FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel system consists of two integrated tanks inside the wing torque boxes and fit-
ted with inspection doors.
Each fuel tank has a capacity of 100 litres and is equipped with a vent valve (its
outlet is located on the lower wing skin) and a sump fitted with a drain valve for
water/moisture drainage purposes.
An electric fuel pump feeds the pertinent engine in case of engine-driven pump
failure. The fuel Gascolator (a sediment-filter bowl) is located beneath the engine
nacelle, between the fuel tank and the electrical pump, in correspondence of the
fuel system lowest point. It is fitted with a drain valve which allows for the overall
fuel line drainage.
Fuel quantity indicators and fuel pressure indicators for each engine are located on
the RH instrument panel.
In normal conditions, to supply fuel to engines, each engine pump sucks fuel from
the related tank; crossfeed is allowed by fuel valves located on the front spar and
controlled by Bowden cables from the fuel selectors located on the cabin over-
head panel.
Left fuel selector manages the left engine feeding, allowing fuel supply from the
left fuel tank or from the right one (crossfeed).
Right fuel selector manages the right engine feeding, allowing fuel supply from
the right fuel tank or from the left one (crossfeed).
Each selector can be set in OFF position only pulling and simultaneously rotating
the lever: this avoids an unintentional operation.
System schematic is shown on the following Figure.
The three green lights illuminate only when the respective gear is “down-locked”;
the red light indicates the gear is in transit “up” or “down” and the amber caution
light GEAR PUMP ON indicates that the pump is electrically supplied.
The red transition light extinguishes only when all the three gear legs are “down-
locked” or they are “up” while the amber caution light extinguishes only when the
electrical pump is “off”.
The Up/Down limit switches control the LG lights lighting and pump operation on
the basis of LG configuration set by the pilot through the LG control knob.
A “push to test” button is used to check that the landing gear position lights are
operating.
A warning horn alerts the pilot when the LG control knob is in UP position and at
least one of the two throttle levers and/or flaps are respectively set to idle and to
LAND position.
During emergency extension, LG position lights work as per normal extension
mode: for this reason the LG control knob must be set on DOWN position before
starting the emergency procedure.
10. BRAKES
The A/C is provided with an independent hydraulically actuated brake system for
each main wheel. A master cylinder is attached to each pilot/co-pilot’s rudder
pedal: see schematic below.
Hydraulic pressure, applied via the master cylinders, enters the brake via lines
connected to an inlet fitting on the wheel brake caliper.
A parking brake valve, mounted in correspondence of the cabin floor and operated
by a knob on the cockpit central pedestal, intercepts the hydraulic lines, once the
system is pressurized, to hold the brake assemblies linings tightened round the
main wheels brake discs.
Brakes can be operated from both pilot’s and co-pilot’s pedals: a single vented oil
reservoir feeds the pilot side master cylinders which are connected, via hoses, with
the co-pilot’s side ones.
11. VENTILATION
If required, pilot allows for ram-air entering the cabin via the two outlet ports re-
spectively located on the left and right side of the instruments panel. Other two
ram-air ventilation outlets are located on the cabin head, in the passengers’ zone.
14. DOORS
The cabin main door is located forward, on the left side of the fuselage while the
emergency exit (passenger door) is located aft, on the right side of the fuselage.
On the top of the cabin it is located the ditching emergency exit: see figure below.
Being the main door located in correspondence of the propeller disc, its operation
is limited to the engine shut-down condition.
This prevents the latch opening when left engine runs but, if needed, the device
can be also manually by-passed operating either from the door inside panel or
from outside. Instructions are reported on the placards near the by-pass lever, lo-
cated in correspondence of the latch: to unlock it is necessary to push and hold the
red tab down, after that the door can be opened operating the handle.
In any case, the electric lock becomes disengaged after a complete loss of the elec-
tric power.
Two switches engage respectively when the door and the latch are closed. Should
one or both switches be released, the MAIN DOOR OPEN warning light is turned
ON.
The emergency exit is fitted with the same safety device: in this case the pressure
switch allowing for solenoid operation is activated from right engine oil pressure
line; should be the door “open” or “closed and unlocked”, the REAR DOOR
OPEN warning light is turned ON.
Any voluntary operation of the manual by-pass solenoid lock causes related door
warning light is turned on.
The ditching emergency exit is manually operated turning the handle and pushing
outward the door.
The yellow fluorescent painted handle, which can be operated also from outside, is
fitted with a safety wire assuring removal effortlessness. When the door is open, it
stays connected to the fuselage by means of two cables which allow for door open-
ing forward.

Item Description
Item Description
• Battery bus
• LH Generator bus
• RH Generator bus
• LH Avionics bus
• RH Avionics bus
The distribution system operates as a single bus with power being supplied by the
battery and both generators but it is possible to separate the left busses from the
right busses when required by means of the Cross Bus switches.
All electrical loads are divided among the five busses on the basis of their impor-
tance and required power: equipment with duplicate functions is connected to sep-
arate busses.
The Battery bus, which supplies the most important loads, is energized from three
sources: the battery and both generators. This allows the bus for remaining active
also in case of two independent faults in the supply paths.

ers rack.
(*) if installed
On the central pedestal (see Figure below) there are seven switches disposed on
two rows: on the first row there is the MASTER SWITCH which allows for con-
necting, through the battery relay, the battery to the battery bus.
LH and RH FIELD switches control the pertinent generator: setting the switch to
OFF puts the pertinent generator off-line.
In correspondence of the second row there are 4 switches LH/RH AVIONIC and
LH/ RH CROSS BUS.
The first two allow, through a relay, for cutting off the power supply to the perti-
nent avionic bus.
The second ones allow, through a relay, for realizing the parallel connection be-
tween the pertinent generator bus and the battery bus. Setting these ones to OFF,
the pertinent generator bus (and related avionic bus supplied) is separated from the
battery bus and from opposite generator bus.
When both generators are correctly operating and all above mentioned switches
are in ON position, all the busses are connected to the generators.
The ignition switches, two for each engine and grouped on the over head panel,
are instead independent from the airplane electrical system (generation and distri-
bution); they only control and open the engine electrical circuit.

INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
The System Fifty Five X is a rate based autopilot. When in control of the roll
axis, the autopilot senses turn rate, as well as closure rate to the selected course,
along with the non-rate quantities of heading error, course error and course devia-
tion indication.
When in control of the pitch axis, the autopilot senses vertical speed, acceleration,
and closure rate to the selected glideslope, along with the non-rate quantities of al-
titude and glideslope deviation indication.
These sensed data provide feedback to the autopilot, which processes them in or-
der to control the aircraft through the use of mechanisms coupled to the control
system.
The “autotrim” function senses when the aircraft needs to be trimmed about the
pitch axis, and responds by driving the trim servo in the proper direction to pro-
vide trim.
Following operating limitations shall apply when the aircraft is equipped with S-
TEC Fifty Five X autopilot:
On the instrument panel, in clear view of the pilot, it is placed the following plac-
ard reminding the observance of aircraft operating limitations during Autopilot
operation:
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

INTRODUCTION
This section contains supplemental information to operate, in a safe and efficient
manner, the aircraft when equipped with ADF KR 87 device in conjunction with
Garmin G950 system.
GENERAL
KR 87 is an ADF for navigation with respect to the Non Directional Beacon sta-
tions.
LIMITATIONS
ADF KR 87 manuals do not address operating limitations more severe than those
usually applicable to the P2006T.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Particular meteorological conditions can distort the equipment indications. There-
fore, to avoid false indications about NDB direction, it is necessary to select ANT
function in order to query the selected station and to listen to its identification
code.
Near electrical interferences (electrical storms), ADF indicator tends to head to-
ward the interferences themselves. Take into account this likelihood when the in-
dicator heads, for example, toward highly cloudy or stormy zones.
Wrong indications could arise also during night flights, near mountainous reliefs
and as effect of the coastal refraction.

When airplane embodies the design change in subject, in addition to the main bat-
tery, a dedicated engine starting battery is introduced.
The entire primary loads stand connected to the main battery itself and the engine
starting battery is recharged by the generators.
This modification is transparent to the crew because it does not change deeply the
usual normal and emergency procedures.
Additionally, in event of the overall loss of power generation, the starting battery
can be put in parallel with the main battery by means of the EMERG BATT
switch activation.
In order to allow the charging status check of the battery, a voltmeter is provided.
Pushing the button close to the voltmeter, crew can read the battery status.
Both batteries are accessible through the inspection cap F10 on the left side of the
tail cone.
When the design change in subject is embodied, following placards are installed
on the airplane:

1.2 Purpose
Note:
This POH must be carried in the A/C and made available to the pilot at
all times. It can only be used in conjunction with the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) approved Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) or Aircraft Flight
Manual Supplement (AFMS). Refer to the applicable AFM or AFMS for
A/C specific information, such as unique ground tests, limitations, and
emergency procedures.
Note:
The System Fifty Five X autopilot is a tool provided to aircraft owners, that
serves to assist them with cockpit workload management. The ability of the
autopilot to provide optimum assistance and performance is directly
proportional to the pilot's knowledge of its operating procedures. Therefore,
it is highly recommended that the pilot develop a thorough understanding of
the autopilot, its modes, and operating procedures in Visual Meteorological
Conditions (VMC), prior to using it under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).
The System Fifty Five X is a rate based autopilot. When in control of the roll axis,
the autopilot senses turn rate, as well as closure rate to the selected course,
along with the non-rate quantities of heading error, course error, and course
deviation indication. When in control of the pitch axis, the autopilot senses
vertical speed, acceleration, and closure rate to the selected glideslope, along
with the non-rate quantities of altitude and glideslope deviation indication. These
sensed data provide feedback to the autopilot, which processes them in order to
control the aircraft through the use of mechanisms coupled to the control
system. In most aircraft, the roll servo is coupled to the ailerons. The pitch
servo is coupled to the elevator. Activation of roll axis control must always
precede activation of pitch axis control.
The optional autotrim function senses when the aircraft needs to be trimmed
about the pitch axis, and responds by driving the trim servo in the proper
direction to provide trim. The trim servo is coupled to the elevator trim tabs.
The optional yaw damper senses excessive adverse yaw about the yaw axis,
and responds by driving the yaw servo in the proper direction to provide
damping. The yaw servo is coupled to the rudder.

SECTION 3
IN-FLIGHT PROCEDURES
Set the Heading Bug to the desired heading on the compass card (HSI or DG),
and then press the HDG mode selector switch to engage the heading mode.
The HDG annunciation will appear as shown in Fig. 3-1, to acknowledge that
this mode is engaged. The autopilot will turn the aircraft onto the selected
heading and hold it. A new heading can be subsequently selected by setting the
Heading Bug to it.
Heading System DG
Set Heading Bug and OBS to desired course on each respective compass card.
Press the NAV mode selector switch to engage the navigation mode. The
NAV annunciation will appear as shown in Fig. 3-2, to acknowledge that this
mode is engaged.
As the aircraft approaches the selected course, the autopilot senses the
corresponding rate at which CDI needle deflection approaches center (closure
rate), in order to initiate the aircraft's turn onto the course at the proper point, and
thereby prevent overshoot. The point at which this turn begins is variable, being
further from the course at faster closure rates, and closer to the course at slower
closure rates. Although closure rate is principally a function of groundspeed, the
distance of the aircraft from the VOR station also has an effect. Nevertheless,
the turn will always begin between 100% and 20% CDI needle deflection.
During this stage of the intercept sequence, the autopilot operates at maximum
gain and sensitivity to closure rate. In addition, it limits the aircraft's turn rate to
90% of a standard rate turn, although for some higher performance (turboprop)
aircraft this is 75%.
When the aircraft arrives at 15% CDI needle deflection, the course is captured.
At that instant, a step reduction in autopilot gain occurs, so that the Course
Pointer (HSI) or Heading Bug (DG) has sufficient authority to complete the
intercept. In addition, the sensitivity to closure rate is reduced. The overall
authority of the autopilot during this stage of the intercept sequence is called the
CAP condition, which is acknowledged only on the optional Remote Annunciator,
as shown in Fig. 3-3.
Fifteen seconds after course capture, a second step reduction in autopilot gain
occurs, to limit the aircraft's turn rate to 45% of a standard rate turn, although for
some higher performance (turboprop) aircraft this is 37.5%. In addition, the
sensitivity to closure rate is reduced again. The overall authority of the autopilot
during this stage of the intercept sequence is called the CAP SOFT condition,
which is acknowledged only on the optional Remote Annunciator, as shown in
Fig. 3-4.
Thirty seconds after course capture, the autopilot establishes the required
crosswind correction angle.
Seventy five seconds after course capture, a third step reduction in autopilot
gain occurs, to limit the aircraft's turn rate to 15% of a standard rate turn,
although for some higher performance (turboprop) aircraft this is 12.5%. In
addition, the sensitivity to closure rate is reduced once more. This is
acknowledged by the extinguishment of the CAP annunciation on the optional
Remote Annunciator, as shown in Fig. 3-5. It marks the end of the intercept
sequence, and the beginning of tracking. The overall authority of the autopilot
during tracking is called the SOFT condition.
The pilot should make speed, distance, and time considerations during the 75
second period from course capture to the beginning of tracking, to account for
the aircraft's position. For example at 115 kts, a distance of 2.4 nautical miles
will be traveled in 75 seconds.
If it should happen that the Course Pointer (HSI) or Heading Bug (DG) is already
within 5° of the selected course, and CDI needle deflection is less than 10%,
then the autopilot will immediately establish the SOFT condition upon
engagement of the navigation mode.
3-4 4th Ed. Nov 30, 07
S–TEC
While tracking in the SOFT condition, the autopilot ignores short term CDI
needle deflections (excursions), to thereby inhibit aircraft scalloping during
VOR station passage. Should CDI needle deflection exceed 50% for a period of
60 seconds, the autopilot will revert to the CAP SOFT condition as a means to
re-establish the aircraft on course.
The NAV annunciation will flash whenever CDI needle deflection exceeds 50%,
or the NAV Flag is in view. In the latter event, the FAIL annunciation will also
appear.
While tracking in the SOFT condition and within 50% CDI needle deflection,
should it be desired to track in the higher authority CAP SOFT condition instead,
press the APR mode selector switch to engage the navigation approach
(NAV APR) mode. This is acknowledged as shown in Fig. 3-6 and Fig. 3-7.
While tracking in either the SOFT or CAP SOFT condition, if a new course is
selected that is different from the original course by 10° or more, then the
autopilot will revert to the CAP condition.

To select an intercept angle other than 45°, set the Heading Bug to the desired
intercept heading on the compass card, such that the difference between this
heading and the desired course is the intercept angle. Then set the Course
Pointer (HSI) or OBS (DG) to the desired course. Press and hold the HDG mode
selector switch, and then press the NAV mode selector switch to engage the
heading mode and arm the navigation mode. The HDG and NAV annunciations
will appear as shown in Fig. 3-8, to acknowledge this.
The autopilot will establish the aircraft on the selected intercept angle
(heading), until it must turn the aircraft onto the selected course to prevent
overshoot. At that point in the intercept sequence, the HDG annunciation will
extinguish to indicate engagement of the navigation mode. At the moment this
occurs, if the heading system is a DG, immediately set the Heading Bug to the
course in order to input a course error to the autopilot. Otherwise, the autopilot
will lack sufficient authority to turn the aircraft onto the course.
If it should happen that a predefined course has not been programmed into the
GPS Navigation Receiver upon attempted engagement of the navigation global
positioning system steering mode, then the NAV and GPSS annunciations will
flash, and the autopilot will hold the aircraft's wings level.
To select an intercept angle, set the Heading Bug to the desired intercept
heading on the compass card, such that the difference between this heading
and the next course segment is the intercept angle. Press and hold the HDG
mode selector switch, and then press the NAV mode selector switch twice to
engage the heading mode and arm the navigation global positioning system
steering mode. The HDG, NAV, and GPSS annunciations will appear as shown
in Fig. 3-10, to acknowledge this.
The autopilot will establish the aircraft on the selected intercept angle
(heading), until it must turn the aircraft onto the next course segment to prevent
overshoot. At that point in the intercept sequence, the HDG annunciation will
extinguish to indicate engagement of the navigation global positioning system
steering mode.
Fig. 3-10. AP Display, HDG Mode Engaged, NAV GPSS Mode Armed
The altitude hold mode can only be engaged if a roll mode (HDG, NAV, NAV APR,
REV, REV APR, NAV GPSS) is already engaged. With a roll mode engaged and
the aircraft at the desired altitude, press the ALT mode selector switch to engage
the altitude hold mode. The ALT annunciation will appear as shown in Fig. 3-11,
to acknowledge that this mode is engaged. The autopilot will hold the aircraft at
its current (captured) altitude. This altitude may be modified for barometric
pressure changes, by rotating the Modifier Knob either clockwise (CW) for an
increase in altitude, or counter-clockwise (CCW) for a decrease in altitude. Each
detent equals 20 feet, and the range is ±360 feet from the original captured
altitude.
Caution:
The vertical speed mode is used to establish and hold a PILOT selected
vertical speed. Since the autopilot receives no airspeed information, it is the
responsibility of the pilot to ensure that the vertical speed selection is within
the operating limits of the aircraft's capabilities. Selection of a vertical
speed beyond the capability of the aircraft can create a condition of reduced
airspeed, and possibly lead to a stall condition.
The vertical speed mode can only be engaged if a roll mode (HDG, NAV, NAV
APR, REV, REV APR, NAV GPSS) is already engaged. With a roll mode engaged
and the aircraft at the desired vertical speed, press the VS mode selector switch
to engage the vertical speed mode. The VS annunciation will appear as shown
in Fig. 3-12, to acknowledge that this mode is engaged, along with the current
vertical speed. The latter appears as a number in units of FPM x 100, prefixed by
either a "+" to indicate a climb, or a "-" to indicate a descent (i.e., for example, +5
indicates 500 FPM climbing, if within the aircraft's capabilities). The autopilot
will hold the aircraft at its current (captured) vertical speed. This vertical speed
may be modified by rotating the Modifier Knob. In a climb, rotating the Modifier
Knob clockwise (CW) increases the climb rate, whereas rotating it counter-
clockwise (CCW) decreases the climb rate. In a descent, rotating the Modifier
Knob CCW increases the descent rate, whereas rotating it CW decreases the
descent rate. Each detent equals 100 FPM, and the range is ±1600 FPM from
the original captured vertical speed.
During a climb, should the aircraft become unable to hold the captured vertical
speed for a period of fifteen seconds, the VS annunciation will flash as an alert
to the potential for an impending stall condition. In that event, immediately
increase the aircraft's thrust if possible, reduce the commanded vertical speed
using the Modifier Knob, or both, until the VS annunciation stops flashing.

The control wheel steering mode can only be engaged if a roll mode (HDG, NAV,
NAV APR, REV, REV APR, NAV GPSS) and pitch mode (ALT HOLD, VS, GS) are
already engaged. With a roll and pitch mode engaged, press and hold the
remote CWS Switch located on the Control Wheel. This disengages both the
roll and pitch servos. Maneuver the aircraft to the desired attitude, and allow it to
stabilize there for 2-3 seconds. Release the switch to engage the control wheel
steering mode. This re-engages both the roll and pitch servos. The CWS
annunciation will appear as shown in Fig. 3-13, to acknowledge that the CWS
mode is engaged, along with the VS annunciation and current (captured) vertical
speed. The latter appears as a number in units of FPM x 100, prefixed by either
a "+" to indicate a climb, or a "-" to indicate a descent (i.e., for example, +5
indicates 500 FPM climbing, if within the aircraft's capabilities). The autopilot
will hold the aircraft at its current (captured) turn rate and vertical speed.
If it should happen that the aircraft's turn rate is initially greater than 90% of a
standard rate turn at the desired attitude, then the autopilot will limit it to 90%
upon engagement of the CWS mode, although for some higher performance
(turboprop) aircraft this is 75%.
If the autopilot is not equipped with autotrim, or is so equipped but the Trim
Master Switch is in the OFF position, and a pitch mode (ALT HOLD, VS, GS) is
engaged, then the autopilot will provide an annunciation whenever it is
necessary to manually trim the aircraft about the pitch axis using the Elevator
Trim Wheel.
a. TRIM UP Required
b. TRIM DN Required
If the autopilot is equipped with autotrim, the Trim Master Switch is in the ON
position, and a pitch mode (ALT HOLD, VS, GS) is engaged, then the autopilot
will provide an annunciation whenever it is automatically trimming the aircraft
about the pitch axis.
Should the pitch servo loading exceed a preset threshold for a period of three
seconds, the autopilot will annunciate either TRIM ∧ or TRIM ∨ as an
advisement that it is automatically trimming the aircraft in the indicated direction.
This is shown in Fig. 3-15. In addition, the Elevator Trim Wheel will run either
nose up or nose down, respectively, with increasing speed. If the autopilot is
still in the process of automatically trimming the aircraft after four more
seconds, then the annunciation will flash. Once the aircraft has been sufficiently
trimmed, such that the pitch servo loading is below the preset threshold, the
annunciation will extinguish and the Elevator Trim Wheel will stop.
a. TRIM UP in Progress
b. TRIM DN in Progress
If the autopilot is equipped with autotrim, then there will also be the remote
Manual Electric Trim Switch located on the Control Wheel. This switch can be
used to trim the aircraft about the pitch axis from the RDY, or when only a roll
mode (HDG, NAV, NAV APR, REV, REV APR, NAV GPSS) is engaged, provided
that the Trim Master Switch is in the ON position.
To trim the aircraft nose up, press aft and hold both segments of the Manual
Electric Trim Switch. The TRIM annunciation will appear flashing as shown in
Fig. 3-16, and the Elevator Trim Wheel will run nose up at full speed. Upon
release of this switch, the TRIM annunciation will extinguish and the Elevator
Trim Wheel will stop.
To trim the aircraft nose down, press forward and hold both segments of the
Manual Electric Trim Switch. The TRIM annunciation will appear flashing as
shown in Fig. 3-16, and the Elevator Trim Wheel will run down at full speed.
Upon release of this switch, the TRIM annunciation will extinguish and the
Elevator Trim Wheel will stop.
Should the Manual Electric Trim Switch ever be actuated when a pitch mode
(ALT HOLD, VS, GS) is engaged, the autopilot will disconnect.
Execute a straight-in intercept and track of the FRONT INBOUND LOC course
(reference section 3.3.3), while holding the approach altitude. The NAV, APR,
and ALT annunciations will appear as shown in Fig. 3-17.
Once the following conditions have existed simultaneously for a period of one
second, the GS annunciation will appear to acknowledge that the glideslope
mode has automatically armed, as shown in Fig. 3-18:
7. A/C more than 10% Glideslope Deviation Indication (GDI) needle deflection
below GS centerline
With the glideslope mode armed, once the aircraft arrives at 5% GDI needle
deflection below the GS centerline, the ALT annunciation will extinguish to
indicate engagement of the glideslope mode, as shown in Fig. 3-19.

Execute a straight-in intercept and track of the FRONT INBOUND LOC course
(reference section 3.3.3), while holding the approach altitude. The NAV, APR,
and ALT annunciations will appear as shown in Fig. 3-17.
Once the following conditions have existed simultaneously for a period of ten
seconds, the GS annunciation will appear to acknowledge that the glideslope
mode has automatically armed, as shown in Fig. 3-18:
7. A/C more than 60% Glideslope Deviation Indication (GDI) needle deflection
below GS centerline
If the last condition cannot be met because the aircraft is too near the GS
centerline, then manual arming of the glideslope mode can be instantly
achieved by pressing the ALT mode selector switch.
With the glideslope mode armed, once the aircraft arrives at 5% GDI needle
deflection below the GS centerline, the ALT annunciation will extinguish to
indicate engagement of the glideslope mode, as shown in Fig. 3-19.
Caution:
Execute a procedure turn intercept and track of the FRONT INBOUND LOC
course (reference section 3.3.5) above the approach altitude, just until the
aircraft is established on the FRONT INBOUND PROCEDURE TURN heading,
with the heading mode still engaged. Establish the desired vertical descent
speed, and then press the VS mode selector switch to engage the vertical
speed mode. Upon reaching the approach altitude, press the ALT mode
selector switch to engage the altitude hold mode. Press the NAV mode selector
switch to engage the navigation approach mode, such that the autopilot will
execute a straight-in intercept and track of the FRONT INBOUND LOC course
(reference section 3.3.3). Execute a straight-in intercept and track of the
glideslope (reference section 3.2.1).
For those aircraft equipped with the Garmin 400W/500W Series GPS Navigation
Receiver or equivalent unit, with the NAV GPSS mode engaged, the autopilot is
capable of executing the entire lateral approach sequence if it has been
programmed into the Navigation Receiver.
Once on the FRONT INBOUND LOC course, with the Navigation Receiver set to
VLOC and conditions 2 thru 7 of section 3.2.1 satisfied, press the NAV mode
selector switch to engage the NAV APR mode and complete the ILS approach.
Press the REV mode selector switch to engage the reverse approach mode.
The REV and APR annunciations will appear as shown in Fig. 3-21, to acknowledge
that this mode is engaged. The autopilot will intercept and track the BACK
INBOUND LOC course. If the heading system is a DG, then the autopilot will fly
the aircraft in the direction opposite to that of CDI needle deflection.
The REV annunciation will flash whenever CDI needle deflection exceeds 50%,
or the NAV Flag is in view. In the latter event, the FAIL annunciation will also
appear.

To select an intercept angle, set the Heading Bug to the desired intercept
heading on the compass card, such that the difference between this heading
and the BACK INBOUND LOC course is the intercept angle. If the heading
system is an HSI, set the Course Pointer to the FRONT INBOUND LOC
course on the compass card.
Press and hold the HDG mode selector switch, and then press the REV mode
selector switch to engage the heading mode and arm the reverse approach
mode. The HDG, APR, and REV annunciations will appear as shown in Fig.

The autopilot will establish the aircraft on the selected intercept angle
(heading), until it must turn the aircraft onto the BACK INBOUND LOC course to
prevent overshoot. At that point in the intercept sequence, the HDG annunciation
will extinguish to indicate engagement of the reverse approach mode. At the
moment this occurs, if the heading system is a DG, immediately set the Heading
Bug to the BACK INBOUND LOC course, in order to input a course error to the
autopilot. Otherwise, the autopilot will lack sufficient authority to turn the aircraft
onto the course.

Program a predefined approach into the GPS Navigation Receiver. Press the
NAV mode selector switch twice to engage the navigation global positioning
system steering mode (reference section 3.1.3). The autopilot will laterally
steer the aircraft along the predefined approach. To control the assigned
altitudes and rates of descent, use the altitude hold mode (reference section
3.1.4) and vertical speed mode (reference section 3.1.5), respectively. For those
aircraft not equipped with the Garmin 400W/500W Series GPS Navigation
Receiver or equivalent unit, to make any procedure turns, engage the heading
mode and use the Heading Bug (reference section 3.1.1). Upon completion,
re-engage the navigation global positioning system steering mode.
The optional Flight Director (FD) is a display of the flight profile. It is commanded
by the autopilot. A pair of Steering Command Bars and an Aircraft Reference
Symbol (ARS) are the principal FD components of interest. The position of the
Steering Command Bars can be adjusted by the pilot, using the Parallax
Adjustment shown in Fig. 3-37. The FD operates in either the FD/AP mode or
the FD mode.
Set the Autopilot Master Switch to the FD/AP position, as shown in Fig. 3-38.
Engage a roll mode (HDG, NAV, NAV APR, REV, REV APR, NAV GPSS) and pitch
mode (ALT HOLD, VS, GS). The autopilot will steer the aircraft toward the
Steering Command Bars, until the ARS is tucked into them. The FD provides a
visual indication of how accurately the autopilot is tracking its own roll and
pitch commands. A typical view of the FD with the FD/AP mode engaged is
shown in Fig. 3-39.
3.4.2 FD Mode
With the Autopilot Master Switch in the FD/AP position, together with a roll mode
(HDG, NAV, NAV APR, REV, REV APR, NAV GPSS) and pitch mode (ALT HOLD,
VS, GS) engaged, set the Autopilot Master Switch to the FD position as shown in
Fig. 3-40. An audible alert will sound, the roll servo and pitch servo will
disengage, and the FD annunciation will appear on the Remote Annunciator as
shown in Fig. 3-41, to acknowledge that the FD mode is engaged. The pilot
must steer the aircraft toward the Steering Command Bars, until the ARS is
tucked into them. The FD provides a visual indication of how accurately the pilot
is tracking the autopilot's roll and pitch commands. A typical view of the FD with
the FD mode engaged is shown in Fig. 3-42.
For those aircraft equipped with the Garmin 400W/500W Series GPS Navigation
Receiver or equivalent unit, when conducting a WAAS approach with the NAV
GPSS mode engaged, the autopilot will execute the entire lateral approach
sequence (i.e., intercept and track front outbound course, complete procedure
turn, intercept and track front inbound course).
2. LNAV+V (non-precision)
Once on the front inbound course, the NAV APR mode must be engaged in order
to intercept and track either GPS glideslope listed above. The remainder of the
approach should be flown like a Straight-In ILS (reference section 3.2.1).
Caution:
The aircraft will not automatically level off at the Decision Height (DH) or
Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA). The pilot must maintain an awareness of
their altitude at all times, and disconnect the autopilot at DH or MDA for
either a landing or Go-Around (GA).
If the missed approach procedure includes holding, then the autopilot will enter
the aircraft into the holding pattern. In that event, maintain vertical speed and
altitude using the VS and ALT HOLD modes, respectively.
The optional Yaw Damper serves to dampen excessive adverse yaw. It operates
in either the AUTO mode or ON mode, depending upon the position of the Yaw
Damper Master Switch shown in Fig. 3-43.
