AUTOPILOT OUT OF TRIM (Yellow ←AIL, AIL→, ↑ELE, or ↓ELE on
PFD)
For ↑ELE, or ↓ELE Indication:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OVERPOWER THE AUTOPILOT IN THE
EVENT OF A PITCH MISTRIM. THE AUTOPILOT SERVOS WILL
OPPOSE PILOT INPUT AND WILL CAUSE PITCH TRIM TO RUN
OPPOSITE THE DIRECTION OF PILOT INPUT. THIS WILL LEAD
TO A SIGNIFICANT OUT-OF-TRIM CONDITION RESULTING IN
LARGE CONTROL STICK FORCE WHEN DISENGAGING THE
AUTOPILOT.
Be prepared for significant sustained control forces in the direction of the
annunciation arrow. For example, an arrow pointing down indicates nose down
control stick force will be required upon autopilot disconnect.
Momentary illumination (5 sec or less) of the ↑ELE or ↓ELE indication during
configuration or large airspeed changes is normal.
If the annunciation remains:
1. AP DISC Switch............................................................... DEPRESS AND HOLD
2. Aircraft Attitude ........................ MAINTAIN/REGAIN AIRCRAFT CONTROL,
3. Pitch Trim ..........................................RETRIM if necessary, using the trim wheel
4. AFCS Circuit Breaker................................................................................... PULL
5. AP DISC switch..................................................................................... RELEASE
FOLLOWING AN
ELECTRIC TRIM SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, DO NOT ENGAGE THE
AUTOPILOT OR OPERATE THE MANUAL ELECTRIC TRIM UNTIL
THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN CORRECTED.
