AUTOPILOT ENGAGEMENT & DISENGAGEMENT
The control of the autopilot and display of its modes and status is contained within
the system composed of the EFIS, autopilot servos, and control panels. If the
autopilot is engaged, a green text AP appears in the upper left corner of tile 2,
adjacent to the airspeed tape. When the yaw damper is engaged, green YD text is
also displayed below the autopilot indication adjacent to the airspeed tape.

When the autopilot is disconnected, whether by the pilot, autopilot failure, or
automatic disconnect, an amber AP DISC text appears on the PFD and an aural alert
tone will sound to notify the flight crew of autopilot disengagement. This occurs
during any phase of flight.
