1. COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR - Provides VOR/LOC navigation inputs to
autopilot for intercept and tracking modes.
LOCALIZER REVERSED INDICATOR LIGHT - Amber light, labeled BC, illum-
2.
inates when BACK CRS button is pushed in (engaged) and LOC frequency
selected. BC light indicates course indicator needle is reversed on selected
receiver (when turned to a localizer frequency). This light is located within the
CDI indicator.
3. TURN COORDINATOR - Senses roll and yaw for wings leveling and command
turn functions.
4. DIR HOLD PUSHBUTTON - Selects direction hold mode. Airplane holds direc-
tion it is flying at time button is pushed.
5. NAV CAPT PUSHBUTTON - Selects NAV capture mode. When parallel to
desired course, the airplane will turn to a pre-described intercept angle and
capture selected VOR or LOC course.
NAV TRK PUSHBUTTON - Selects NAV track mode. Airplane tracks selected
6.
VOR or LOC course.
HI SENS PUSHBUTTON - During NAV CAPT or NAV TRK operation, this high
7.
sensitivity setting increases autopilot response to NAV signal to provide more
precise operation during localizer approach. In low sensitivity position (push-
button out), response to NAV signal is dampened for smoother tracking of enroute
VOR radials; it also smooths out effect of course scalloping during NAV opera-
tion.
BACK CRS PUSHBUTTON - Used with LOC operation only. With A/P switch
8.
OFF or ON, and when navigation receiver selected by NAV switch is set to a
localizer frequency, it reverses normal localizer needle indication (CDI) and
causes localizer reversed (BC) light to illuminate. With A/P switch ON, reverses
localizer signal to autopilot.
9. ACTUATOR - The torque motor in the actuator causes the ailerons to move in the
commanded direction.
10. NAV SWITCH - Selects NAV 1 or NAV 2 navigation receiver.
11. PULL TURN KNOB - When pulled out and centered in detent, airplane will fly
wings-level; when turned to the right (R), the airplane will execute a right,
standard rate turn; when turned to the left (L), the airplane will execute a left,
standard rate turn. When centered in detent and pushed in, the operating mode
selected by a pushbutton is engaged.
12. TRIM - Used to trim autopilot to compensate for minor variations in aircraft trim
or weight distribution. (For proper operation, the aircraft's rudder trim, if so
equipped, must be manually trimmed before the autopilot is engaged.)
13. A/P SWITCH - Turns autopilot ON or OFF.
