4.6.3. Typical Autopilot Operations
Whenever the EFD1000 installed conguration includes connections to GPS, VLOC and
autopilot systems, the EFD1000 acts as a conduit of data between the navigation radios
and the autopilot system. This conguration enables any navigation sensor available for
display on the EFD system to be coupled to the autopilot.
NOTE
Refer to the autopilot system Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement and/or
POH for details regarding use and operation of the autopilot system.
Examples here are provided for reference only, based on operation of
the Bendix/King KFC-200 autopilot, and actual operation may vary
depending on the autopilot system installed in your aircraft.
It is your responsibility as Pilot in Command to ensure that you are
conversant with the operation of all installed equipment. Operation of
the EFD1000 system in IMC conditions should not be undertaken unless
you are procient in its use and operation, as described herein.
NOTE
The autopilot must be in Heading
(HDG) Mode to receive GPSS signals
from the EFD1000.
NOTE
When using an integrated VLOC/GPS
radio system, select the VLOC or GPS
portion of the integrated radio by
pressing the CDI source key on the
GPS select until the desired source
is indicated above the EFD1000 CDI
(Section 4.3.5) Source Select button.
NOTE
When GPSS is enabled on the
EFD1000, the HSI heading bug is not
coupled to the autopilot. To connect
the heading bug to the autopilot,
disable GPSS via the GPSS Hot Key.
