Setting
The CWS/DISCONNECT discrete input to the GSA 28 servos is
connected to a momentary pushbutton which can function either
as a dedicated Autopilot Disconnect (AP DISC) button, or as a
combined Autopilot Disconnect / Control Wheel Steering (AP/CWS)
button.
Regardless of configuration, a short press and release of the AP
DISC or AP/CWS button will disengage the autopilot if it is engaged.
If Control Wheel Steering is enabled, pressing and holding the AP/
Control Wheel
CWS button places the autopilot into CWS mode. In CWS mode,
Steering
the servos are temporarily disengaged, allowing hand-flying of the
aircraft to a new aircraft attitude while the AP/CWS button is held.
When the AP/CWS button is released, the autopilot exits CWS mode
and the flight director synchronizes to the current aircraft attitude (if
applicable for the current flight director mode).
If Control Wheel Steering is disabled, CWS is not supported and
the AP button serves as a dedicated AP DISC button only. The AP
DISC button will disconnect the autopilot any time it is pressed,
regardless of how long it is held.
