SECTION 1 - GENERAL
This manual is provided to acquaint the pilot with the
limitations as well as normal and emergency operating procedures
of the King 150 Series Automatic Flight Control Systems. The
limitations presented are pertinent to the operation of the 150
System as installed in the Piper Models PA-46-310P and PA-46-
350P airplanes; the Flight Control Systems must be operated
within the limitations herein specified.
The 150 Series AFCS is certified in this airplane with 2 axis
autopilot control, pitch and roll, or 3 axis control if the
optional yaw damper is installed. The 3rd axis (Yaw), when
installed, provides yaw damping and turn coordination whenever
the autopilot is engaged. Vith the installation of the optional
Yaw Damper Switch, yaw damping and turn coordination are
available with or without initially engaging the autopilot.
Both 2 axis and 3 axis systems are described in this manual.
The KAS 297B vertical speed and altitude selector, when added to
a KFC 150 or a KAP 150 Flight Control System provides the pilot
with the following features: ability to select vertical speed
hold; ability to select, arm and, upon approaching the selected
altitude, automatically transfer into Altitude Bold; altitude
alerting as specified by F.A.R. 91.51.
The 150 Series AFCS has an electric pitch trim system which
provides autotrim during autopilot operation and manual electric
trim for the pilot. The trim system is designed to withstand
any single inflight malfunction. Trim faults are visually and
aurally annunciated.
A lockout device prevents autopilot engagement until the system
has been successfully preflight tested.
The following conditions will cause the Autopilot to
automatically disengage:
A. Power failure.
B. Internal Flight Control System failure.
C. Vith the KCS SSA Compass System, a loss of compass valid
(displaying BDG flag) disengages the Autopilot when a mode
using heading information is engaged. Vith the
HDG
flag
present, the Autopilot may be re-engaged in the basic wings
level mode along with any vertical mode.
