INTRODUCTION
Modern-day task-saturated general aviation flying places critical
demands on the skills and concentration of any pilot. To help meet these
challenges, BendixKing has developed the KFC 230 AeroCruze Next
Generation Autopilot, bringing advanced features into the cockpits of
general-aviation aircraft.
The all-digital KFC 230 is the first touch-enabled autopilot on the
market designed to reduce automation surprise. This next gen autopilot
was designed to make the autopilot state and effects of engaging new
modes more transparent. By showing autopilot targets, signal sources,
course deviation (with digital HSI), and capture information, the pilot
can preview modes before they are engaged and, as an integral part of
mode annunciations, when engaged.
The KFC 230 Autopilot provides lateral and vertical guidance with
altitude preselect. In addition, the KFC 230 provides optional yaw
damper and single-touch Straight and Level (LVL) functionality.

To fully utilize the capabilities of this full-featured system, it is important
to understand the capabilities and limitations of the system. Be sure to
read, and thoroughly understand, the Flight Manual Supplement for the
autopilot installation specific to the aircraft.
NOTE: The Flight Manual Supplement information always
takes precedence over the information found in this
guide.
