EMERGENCY PROCEDURE

Amplified Emergency Procedures
The following paragraphs are presented to supply additional
information for the purpose of
providing the pilot vith a
more complete understanding of
the
recommended course of
action for an emergency situation.
1.
An autopilot or autopilot trim malfunction occurs when
there is an uncommanded deviation in
the airplane
flight path or vhen there is abnormal control vheel or
trim wheel motion. In some cases, and especially for
autopilot trim, there may
be little
to no airplane
motion, yet the red TRIM
annunciator may illuminate
and an alert tone may sound. The KAP/KFC 150 autopilot
incorporates monitors
that
detect abnormal airplane
motion, therefore, if the airplane
for any reason is
moved rapidly in pitch or roll
the autopilot may be
disconnected automatically.
The main concern
in
reacting
to an autopilot or
autopilot
trim malfunction,
or
to an automatic
disconnect of the autopilot, is in maintaining control
of the airplane.
Immediately grasp the control wheel
and press and hold down the A/P DISC/TRIM INTER switch
throughout the recovery.
Manipulate
the controls as
required to safely maintain operation of the airplane
within all of its operating limitations. Elevator trim
should be used as needed
to relieve control forces.
Once
the airplane
has
been stabilized
the A/P
DISC/TRIM INTER svitch may be released.
Vith the autopilot mode OFF
the servo motors are no
longer connected
to
the airplane's flight controls;
autopilot trim will also be isolated from the electric
trim system.
Finally,
the AUTOPILOT and PITCH TRIM
circuit breakers must be
pulled to completely disable
these systems.
