ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROTECTION (ESP
Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP
discourage the exceedance of attitude and established airspeed parameters. This feature
will only function when the aircraft is above 200 feet AGL and the autopilot is not en-
gaged.
ESP engages when the aircraft exceeds one or more conditions (pitch, roll, low air-
speed, and Vmo) beyond the normal flight parameters. Enhanced stability for each
condition is provided by applying a force to the appropriate control surface to return
the aircraft to the normal flight envelope. This is perceived by the pilot as resistance to
control movement in the undesired direction when the aircraft approaches a steep at-
titude or high airspeed.
As the aircraft deviates further from the normal attitude and/or airspeed, the force
increases (up to an established maximum) to encourage control movement in the di-
rection necessary to return to the normal attitude and/or airspeed range. Except in
the case of high airspeed, when maximum force is reached, force remains constant up
to the maximum engagement limit. Above the maximum engagement limit, forces
are no longer applied. There is no maximum engagement related to a high airspeed
condition.
When ESP has been engaged for more than ten seconds (cumulative; not necessarily
consecutive seconds) of a 20-second interval, the autopilot is automatically engaged
with the flight director in Level Mode, bringing the aircraft into level flight. An aural
"Engaging Autopilot" alert is played and the flight director mode annunciation will
indicate 'LVL' for vertical and lateral modes.
