For more information about the autopilot system, refer to the separate documentation
following the autopilot system.
Autopilot sources
A professional autopilot system has its own source groups. If the MFD is going to be used to
operate the professional autopilot system, the MFD must use the same source groups as the
autopilot system.
The MFD will detect a connected professional autopilot system, and a prompt will be
displayed asking if the MFD should enable professional autopilot compatibility.
• Yes: the MFD restarts using the same source groups as the professional autopilot, and the
MFD can be used to operate the autopilot
• No: the MFD remains with its own source groups. The MFD cannot be used to operate the
autopilot
If No is selected the question is not asked again. The setting can be changed by selecting
Professional autopilot compatibility in the Advanced settings dialog.
