AP, ATS Disconnect and GA Switches
1. AP Disconnect Switches (2)
Pushing either disconnect switch disconnects the autopilot system. This
activates the AP disengage warning system, causing an AP OFF light on the
PFD to begin flashing red. RCWS is disabled while pushing this switch.
If at any time the AP OFF legend light is flashing red, pushing either of the
AP disconnect switches will cause the flashing to stop and the AP OFF
display to change color to white or amber if the disconnect was a result of a
detected failure and no autopilot is available.
2. ATS Disconnect Switches (2)
Pushing either ATS disconnect switch disconnects the autothrottle system. If
at any time the ATS disengage warning system is activated, an ATS OFF light
on the PFD will begin flashing red. By pushing either ATS disconnect switch,
the flashing will stop and the ATS OFF display changes color to white if
re-engagement is possible or amber if a condition is present which prevents
further use of the system.
