To set the minimum airspeed:
1. Go to the Pitch Axis Minimum Airspeed Adjust Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP

Disengage Button Options
Hold to Engage
Hold to Engage may be set to YES or NO. Setting HOLD TO ENGAGE to YES allows you to engage
the autopilot by holding the Disengage/CWS Button for more than 2 seconds. This allows for a
convenient alternative to engaging the autopilot via the AUTOPILOT Menu.
When HOLD TO ENGAGE is set to YES, anytime the autopilot is disengaged you can engage it by
pressing and holding the Disengage/CWS Button for more than 2 seconds. Note that after 2
seconds, the autopilot status indicator in the Top Bar on the SkyView REL TO ENG (release to
engage), as illustrated in Figure 125.

This indicates that the servos are in hold to engage mode and are waiting for the button to be
released before engaging.
To set the hold to engage mode:
1. Go to the Hold to Engage Adjust Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP > DISENGAGE
BUTTON > HOLD TO ENGAGE).
2. Set to YES or NO.
3. Press ACCEPT to save or press CANCEL to return to the Disengage Button Menu.
Enable Broken Line Detect
The ENABLE BROKEN LINE DETECT option may be set to YES or NO. It should only be set to YES if
the optional 5 kΩ resistor is installed across the Disengage/CWS Button, as shown in Figure 114.
If the resistor is installed and this option is set to YES, SkyView continuously monitors the AP
Disengage/CWS Button circuit for proper resistance. If a broken line is detected, SkyView will
display the following message:
AP BROKEN DISCONNECT
If the autopilot is engaged when this condition is detected, it will remain engaged.
Set to YES if the optional 5 kΩ resistor is installed across the 2 terminals of the Disengage/CWS
Button. Set to NO if the resistor is not installed. Default is NO.
