Flight director commands and autopilot modes are displayed on the PFD. Full AFCS
functionality is only available with both displays operating, and will disconnect under certain
reversionary conditions.
Upon initial system power-up, the system undergoes a preflight test. At the end of the
test, the autopilot disconnect tone sounds and the PFT and AFCS annunciations are
removed. Successful completion of the preflight test is required for the autopilot and
manual electric trim to engage.
