Airplane Description DA 62 AFM
The GFC 700 may be manually disconnected by any of the following means:
- Depressing the red AP DISC button on the pilot's or co-pilot's control stick
- Moving the left (outboard) side of the manual electric trim switch on the pilot's control
stick
- Pushing the AP button on the autopilot mode controller when the autopilot is
engaged
- Depressing the GA button on the left side of the power lever (if ESP is not installed)
- Pulling the AFCS/ESP/USP circuit breaker
- Turning off the AVIONICS MASTER switch
- Turning off the ELECT. MASTER switch
In addition, the CWS (control wheel steering) switch on the pilot's control stick will
disconnect the autopilot servos from the airplane flight controls as long as the CWS switch
is depressed.
Power to the GFC 700 autopilot and electric trim system is supplied through the AVIONIC
MASTER switch and the AFCS/ESP/USP circuit breaker. The AVIONIC MASTER switch
can be used as an additional means to disable the autopilot and electric trim system.
The red AP DISC switch on the pilot's control stick will interrupt power to the manual
electric trim for as long as the switch is depressed.
Loss of instruments or components of the G1000 system will affect the GFC 700 AFCS
as follows:
- Loss of the AHRS will cause the autopilot to disconnect. The autopilot and flight
director will be inoperative. Manual electric trim will be available.
- Loss of the heading function of the AHRS will result in loss of the HDG mode. If in
HDG mode at the time heading is lost, the autopilot will revert to basic roll mode
(ROL).
