TM 1-1510-225-10 3A-19 (k) Vertical Speed Indicator Needle. Moves around vertical speed scale to indicate vertical speed. (l) Preset Vertical Speed Selection Indicator.Indicates selected vertical speed. (m) Inches of Mercury/Millibar Annunciator.Indicates units of pressure measurementfor altimeter setting in HG or MB. (n) Altimeter Setting Display.Displays altimeter setting in millibars or inches of mercury. (o) Altimeter Invalid (ALT or FAIL) Annunciator.The altimeter invalid annunciator illuminates ALT or FAIL to ndicate invalid altimeter information. e. Autopilot Servo Actuators (KSA 470). To manipulate trim surfaces, as well as elevator, aileron, and rudder controls, the autopilot employs servo actuators installed in the aircraft's fuselage. Each servo assembly includes a drive motor, clutch mechanism, and mounting bracket. f. Autopilot Controller (KMC 440). The autopilot controller provides selection of autopilot, yaw damper, half bank, and soft ride functions. In addition the autopilot also includes roll, pitch, and yaw axis annunciators that illuminate to indicate failure of individual control axes, and roll and vertical trim controls. To engage autopilot modes press the corresponding control key. To disengage, press the key a second time. NOTE The autopilot cannot be activated if the flight director is not operating properly. Annunciator lamps illuminate above the selector keys and on the EADI to indicate autopilot mode of operation. In the event of system failure, annunciators corresponding to the autopilot and yaw damper will flash for approximately 5 seconds before extinguishing. An alert tone will sound upon disengagement. (1) Autopilot Controller Controls, Indicators, and Functions.Refer to Figure 3A-8. (a) Autopilot Engage/Disengage Push-Button Selector Switch. Pressing the autopilot engage/disengage push-button selector switch, placarded AP, initiates autopilot control of the pitch, roll, and yaw axes, provided the system meets preflight test criteria. The yaw damper and flight director, if not previously engaged, engage automatically upon autopilot activation. In the absence of any selected flight director modes, the autopilot will follow basic roll and pitch attitude hold commands synchronized to the aircraft attitude current upon activation. Pressing the autopilot key a second time cancels its operation. The flight director and yaw damper will remain engaged until they are canceled individually. (b) Autopilot Engaged Annunciator. Illumination of the autopilot annunciator, placarded AP, indicates that the aut opilot is engaged. (c) Half Bank Mode Annunciator. Illumination of the half bank mode annunciator, placarded HB, indicates that the half bank mode has been selected and is engaged. (d) Half Bank Mode Push-Button Selector Switch. Pressing the half bank mode push-button selector switch, placarded HALF BANK, reduces the autopilot maximum roll attitude command to one half the normal limit. Roll commands of lesser magnitude are not affected. HALF BANK may be engaged in conjunction with any flight director tracking mode with the exception of approach. HALF BANKmay be employed at the same time as approach arm, but will cancel automatically upon initiation of the approach capture sequence. (e) Autopilot Left/Right System Transfer Indicator. The autopilot left/right system transfer indicator consists of a left and right illuminated arrow. The indicator, located above the autopilot transfer (AP XFER) switch, illuminates to show which side is controlling the aircraft. (f) Autopilot Left/Right System Transfer Push-Button Selector Switch. Pressing the autopilot left/ right transfer push-button selector switch, placarded AP XFER, changes which EFIS system (left or right) controls the aircraft. (g) Roll/Roll Rate Command Control Knob. The roll/roll rate command control knob, placarded L and R, is a rotary, return-to-center control knob. Turning the knob modifies the flight director's reference attitude during operations in roll attitude hold. Turning the knob in either direction cancels any selected flight director horizontal mode and engages roll attitude hold. Operating the roll attitude control does not affect arm operations in nav or approach modes, nor does it affect flight director vertical modes, with the exception of glideslope, which it cancels along with approach.
