1.7.4.3.6 S
The next phase of setting up the Garmin autopilot system is to verify and tune the
proper functionality of the autopilot system while airborne. Refer to Section 1.7.4.3.1
for general autopilot use and functionality.
WARNING: This stage of the flight test involves allowing the GSA 28 autopilot
servos to manipulate the flight control surfaces of the aircraft. Extreme caution
should be used during the initial engagement of the autopilot system. The pilot
should always have easy access to the autopilot disconnect button to disconnect
the autopilot and take control of the aircraft at anytime.
At a minimum, please follow the following safety guidelines before the initial
autopilot engagement:
• Quick access to autopilot disconnect
• Safe altitude above and away from all terrain and obstacles
• No air traffic in the area
• Safe airspeed below maneuvering speed (VA)
NOTE: If desired, in the following procedures, the expert configurations can be
accessed from the Autopilot Roll Servo, Autopilot Pitch Servo, and Yaw Damper
configuration pages.
