Roll Hold Mode (Rol) - Garmin G3X Touch Pilot's Manual

AFCS
The CWS Button (if equipped) does not change lateral references for HDG or NAV
modes. The flight director guides the aircraft back to the Selected Heading/Course
upon release of the CWS Button.

ROLL HOLD MODE (ROL)

NOTE: If Roll Hold Mode is activated as a result of a mode reversion, the
flight director rolls the wings level.
When the flight director is activated or switched, Roll Hold Mode is selected by
default. This mode is annunciated as 'ROL' in the Autopilot Status Box. The current
aircraft bank angle is held, subject to the bank angle condition.

When operating in Roll Hold Mode, the roll reference can be adjusted in the following
ways:
• To decrease the roll reference, turn the inner knob associated with
the PFD right. The AFCS slowly decreases the bank angle. The current
bank angle is held (if the bank angle exceeds 6°). If the bank angle
is less than 6°, the AFCS will roll the aircraft wings level.
• Hold the CWS Button (if equipped), establish the desired bank angle,
then release the CWS Button.
