Gmc 507 Controls - Garmin G5 Pilot's Manual

AFCS
• Yaw Damper (YD) — The optional Yaw Damper function provides Dutch
Roll damping, assists in turn coordination, and provides a steady force to help
maintain directional trim. If installed the YD comes on when the autopilot is
engaged. It can be turned on/off independent of the autopilot and may be used
during normal hand-flying maneuvers.
• Manual Electric Trim (MET) — The optional Manual Electric Trim uses the
same servo as the auto-trim function and allows the pilot to command trim via
a trim switch when the autopilot is not engaged. The MET function does not
preclude the use of the aircraft's basic mechanical trim system.
• Electronic Stability & Protection (ESP) (GFC 500) — The ESP function
provides a soft barrier to keep the aircraft within the desired operating envelope
when the autopilot is not engaged. When the AFCS senses that the aircraft is near
the defined operating limit in pitch attitude, roll attitude, high airspeed, or low
airspeed, the ESP function will automatically engage one or more servos to nudge
it back to the nominal operating envelope. While ESP utilizes the same sensors,
processors, and actuators as the AFCS autopilot it is a separate mutually exclusive
function. ESP can be easily overpowered by the pilot and can be disabled using
the AP DISC / TRIM INT Button.
