miles per hour, knots, or kilometers per hour; reference page 3-8 for more information
regarding configuring the measurement units). As mentioned previously, the maximum value
for this parameter is 95% of VNE. This is also the default value.
To set the maximum airspeed:
1. Go to the Pitch Axis Maximum Airspeed Adjust Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP
> PITCH AXIS > MAXIMUM AIRSPEED).
2. Adjust the maximum airspeed.
3. Press ACCEPT to save the value or press CANCEL to return to the Roll Axis Menu.
Minimum Airspeed
If the AP is engaged and the Minimum Airspeed limit is changed to a value that is
higher than the current airspeed, the AP will immediately act to increase the
airspeed to the new minimum airspeed setting. Dynon recommends that this setting
only be adjusted with the AP disengaged.
The pitch axis minimum airspeed is the lowest airspeed at which the pilot may engage the
autopilot. The autopilot cannot be engaged at airspeeds below the minimum airspeed, with the
exception of 0 knots, allowing for ground testing.
When flying at airspeeds lower than the minimum airspeed or when the autopilot is engaged
and the aircraft airspeed drops below the minimum, SkyView indicates that the aircraft has
dropped below the parameter by displaying SPD indicators in the Top Bar and in the AP menu
as illustrated in Figure 59 and Figure 60, respectively.
If the aircraft’s altitude drops below the target altitude bug and the autopilot cannot pitch the
aircraft up without dropping below the minimum airspeed, SkyView presents the prompt:
ADD POWER
The minimum airspeed parameter must be set to at least (and defaults to) 30% above VS1,
which should be set to the specifications of your aircraft in the Airspeed Limitations Menu
(reference page 5-7 for more information) and is specified in the units set in the Measurement
Units Menu (i.e., miles per hour, knots, or kilometers per hour; reference page 3-8 for more
information regarding configuring the measurement units). As previously mentioned, the
minimum value for this parameter is 30% above VS1. This is also the default value.
To set the minimum airspeed:
1. Go to the Pitch Axis Minimum Airspeed Adjust Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP
> PITCH AXIS > MINIMUM AIRSPEED).
2. Adjust the minimum airspeed.
3. Press ACCEPT to save the value or press CANCEL to return to the Roll Axis Menu.
