b. After SBY push-button switch has been
held depressed for 5 to 8 seconds verify
that:
(1) AP TRIM annunciator - illuminates.
(2) Autopilot disconnect horn - Sounds.
(3) SBY push-button switch - Release.
(4) EADI - FD FAIL and glide slope off flag
will be extinguished.
10. Autopilot - Check as follows:
a. Autopilot trim annunciators - Check extin-
guished.
b. TURN knob - Center.
c. ELEV TRIM switch - Check ON.
NOTE
The control wheel must be held at mid-travel due
to ballast in the elevator. The autopilot will dis-
connect during elevator trim follow up check due
to the heavy nose down force if the control wheel
is not off the forward stop.
d. Control wheel - Move to mid-travel.
e. AP ENGAGE switch-indicator (autopilot
controller) - Depress to engage autopilot
and yaw damper. Check that AP ENGAGE
and YD ENGAGE switch indicators on au-
topilot controller and remote annunciators
on instrument panel are illuminated.
11. Autopilot overpower check - Check as follows:
a. Rudder pedals - Overpower slowly.
b. Control wheel - Overpower slowly in both
directions.
WARNING
If the autopilot or the yaw damper disengages
during the overpower test, the system is consid-
ered non-operative and should not be used. The
elevator trim system must not be forced beyond
the limits which are indicated on the elevator trim
indicator.
12. Elevator trim follow-up - Check as follows:
a. Control wheel - Move to mid-travel. Trim
wheel should run nose down after approxi-
mately 3 seconds. TRIM DN annunciator
(autopilot controller) should illuminate af-
ter approximately 6 to 8 seconds, and AP
TRIM annunciator (instrument panel)
should illuminate after approximately 15
seconds.
b. Control wheel - Move forward of mid-trav-
el. Trim wheel should run nose up after
approximately 3 seconds. TRIM UP an-
nunciator (autopilot controller) check illu-
minated after approximately 6 to 8
seconds. AP TRIM annunciators (instru-
ment panel) check illuminated after
approximately 15 seconds.
13. AP & YD/TRIM DISC switch (control wheel) -
Depress to first to first level. Check that autopi-
lot and yaw damper disengages. AP ENGAGE
and YD ENGAGE switch indicators on the au-
topilot controller and remote annunciators
above the EADI flash 5 times.
14. Control wheel - Hold to mid-travel.
15. AP ENGAGE switch - Re-engage.
16. Turn knob - Check that elevator control trim
wheel follows in each applied direction, then
center knob.
17. Pitch wheel - Check that trim responds to pitch
wheel movements (UP TRIM and DN TRIM
annunciators may illuminate).
18. Heading marker - Center and engage HDG.
Check that control wheel follows a turn in each
direction.
19. GO AROUND button (left power lever) - De-
press. Check that AP disengages and FD com-
mands a wings level 7 degrees nose up
attitude. Check GA annunciator on EADI illu-
minates. Yaw damper should automatically
engage and YD ENGAGE switch-annunciator
should be illuminated on the autopilot control-
ler and the remote annunciators above the
EADI should be illuminated.
20. RUDDER BOOST/YAW CONTROL TEST
switch (pedestal extension) - TEST. Check the
RUDDER BOOST annunciator above the
EADIs illuminates, yaw damper disengages,
YD ENGAGE switch-indicator on the autopilot
controller extinguishes, and the YD ENGAGE
remote annunciators above the EADI flash 5
times.
WARNING
If the SBY annunciator on the flight director
mode selector does not illuminate within 10 sec-
onds after the avionics master switch is turned
on, the autopilot has failed self-test and is con-
sidered inoperative and should not be used.
CAUTION
Do not force the elevator trim system beyond the
limits which are indicated on the ELEVATOR trim
tab indicator.
