AFCS
The pilot can interrupt ESP by pressing and holding the AP DISC / TRIM INT button.
If the AP DISC / TRIM INT button is held down for 5 seconds or more, ESP will be
disabled. ESP will be re-enabled when either of the AP or FD keys are selected on or
power is cycled on the GMC 605. ESP is always enabled by default on system power-
up. If ESP has been disabled the GMC 605 will display the message ESP OFF and the
Roll Limit Indicators will be removed from the Garmin PFD (if installed).
The servo torque limit is configured such that when ESP is active the pilot can always
overpower the servo and hand-fly the aircraft.

ROLL ENGAGEMENT

This section describes ESP indications displayed on a Garmin PFD. If
NOTE:
a Garmin PFD is not installed, the AFCS will still provide the same Roll ESP
function but without any displayed indications or annunciations.
Roll Limit Indicators are displayed on the roll scale of a Garmin PFD at 45 deg to
indicate where ESP will engage. As roll attitude exceeds the limit, ESP will engage and
the Roll Limit Indicator will move in to 30 deg to indicate where ESP will disengage as
roll attitude decreases.
