Pilot’s Operating Handbook Section 907
EXTRA 500 S-TEC Yaw Trim System
YAW DAMPER - This position arms the yaw trim system for
engagement when a basic autopilot lateral mode is engaged. In
the EXTRA 500 configuration the yaw trim cannot be engaged
separately from the autopilot system. The yaw trim will
disengage simultaneously with the autopilot when the
AP DISC
(trim interrupt) switch is used. The yaw trim system can be
disengaged anytime its use is not desired by selecting the
OFF
position of the
AUTOPILOT YAW DAMPER switch.
YAW TRIM - This knob may be used by the pilot to effect small
yaw trim changes to center the ''ball'' in the turn-slip instrument.
Clockwise rotation will provide a right rudder input and
counterclockwise will provide a left rudder input.
When making an adjustment, rotate knob in small increments
and allow 3-5 seconds for the adjustments to take effect.
Normal changes in trim required during airspeed changes will
be accomplished automatically for 1/8 to 1/4 ball deflections.
