16.1 General
The Autoflight System is comprised of a two axis flight director and a three axis
autopilot. The Yaw damper can be engaged independently of the autopilot coupling in
roll and pitch. The Autoflight system is capable of heading tracking, altitude hold and
capture, and course tracking.
All autopilot modes are commanded through the Autopilot Control Panel (ACP) which
is located just below the glare shield. Autoflight system mode annunciation is
displayed on the PFD. The Autopilot, Yaw Damper and Autothrottle buttons on the
autopilot control panel are also lighted to indicate a selected status.
