Setting the battery switch to EMER with dual generator failure or both generators set to
OFF will cause the autopilot to abnormally disconnect and the yaw damper to disconnect.
An abnormal autopilot disconnect is normally annunciated visually by a red flashing 'AP'
in the PFD FD mode window and a continuous "AUTOPILOT" aural that may be
cancelled with the red AP YD DISC/TRIM INT button on the pilot's or copilot's control
wheel.
Pressing and holding the CWS (control wheel steering) switch on the left grip of the pilot's
control wheel (right grip of copilot's control wheel) will disconnect the autopilot servos
from the airplane flight controls as long as the CWS switch is depressed. Upon release
of the CWS switch, the system will synchronize to the existing pitch and roll modes
selected. Review the Pilot's Guide for more information.
The AFCS automatic preflight test must complete successfully prior to use of the autopilot or flight
director. Below is a description of the AFCS automatic preflight test sequence.
After AVIONIC POWER is switched ON:
1. The AFCS automatic preflight test (PFT) begins by indicating PFT on both PFDs in black text on
white background.
2. Before and during PFT, the white AP-YD FAIL CAS message is displayed in the CAS window.
3. At successful completion of PFT, the following occurs:
a) Removal of the PFT indication on both PFDs.
b) A single "Autopilot" aural voice alert sounds.
c) The AP-YD FAIL CAS message is removed from the CAS window. (Also, no AP FAIL message is
displayed)
