ROLL ENGAGEMENT

Roll Limit Indicators are displayed on the roll scale at 45° right and left, indicating
where ESP will engage. As roll attitude exceeds 45°, ESP will engage and the on-side Roll
Limit Indicator will move to 30°. The Roll Limit Indicator is now showing where ESP will
disengage as roll attitude decreases.
Once engaged, ESP force will be applied between 30° and 75°. The force increases
as roll attitude increases and decreases as roll attitude decreases. The applied force is in-
tended to encourage pilot input that returns the airplane to a more normal roll attitude.
As roll attitude decreases, ESP will disengage at 30°.
ESP is automatically disengaged if the aircraft reaches the autopilot roll engagement
attitude limit of 75°.

PITCH ENGAGEMENT

ESP engages at 20° nose-up and 17° nose-down. Once ESP is engaged, it will ap-
ply opposing force between 15° and 50° nose-up and between 12° and 50° nose-down.
Maximum opposing force is applied between 25° and 50° nose-up and between 22° and
50° nose-down.
The opposing force increases or decreases depending on the pitch angle and the direc-
tion of pitch travel. This force is intended to encourage movement in the pitch axis in the
direction of the normal pitch attitude range for the aircraft.
There are no indications marking the pitch ESP engage and disengage limits in these
nose-up/nose-down conditions.
