17 SV-AP-PANEL Autopilot Panel Installation
This section contains pre-installation considerations, installation instructions, and details
to install the SV-AP-PANEL/H (Horizontal orientation) and SV-AP-PANEL/V (Vertical
orientation). Physically, electronically, and operationally, the two (2) versions are
identical, and hereafter referred to SV-AP-PANEL.
The SV-AP-PANEL is an optional control panel for a SkyView system that provides one-
button controls for the SkyView Autopilot that are otherwise operated from the SkyView
display menu buttons (which are still accessible after the installation of an SV-AP-
PANEL). As the SV-AP-PANEL allows for expert autopilot mode controls including IAS,
VNAV, and approach sequencing, the buttons on the SV-AP-PANEL are enabled only
when the SkyView AP is set to EXPERT mode (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP >
AUTOPILOT CONTROLS > EXPERT). Up to two (2) SV-AP-PANELs can be installed in
a SkyView system.
Setting the SkyView AP to EXPERT mode requires that two (2) SkyView AP
servos (Roll and Pitch) are installed. If only one (1) servo (either Roll only, or
Pitch only) is installed, the SkyView AP can only be set to SIMPLIFIED mode,
and thus, the SV-AP-PANEL cannot be used.
SV-AP-PANEL NOSE UP and NOSE DN BUTTONS:
The NOSE UP button on the SV-AP-PANEL commands the AP
System, if engaged, to incrementally pitch the AP “Nose Up” via IAS
or VS adjustments depending on what mode the AP is in.
Similarly, the NOSE DN button on the SV-AP-PANEL commands the
AP system, if engaged, to incrementally pitch the AP “Nose Down” via
IAS or VS adjustments depending on what mode the AP is in.
The SV-AP-PANEL NOSE UP and NOSE DN buttons command the
AP; these buttons do not command trim controls.
