Flap System
The purpose of the Flap System is to set the flap and elevator positions for landing and takeoff. This is
accomplished by selecting values for the elevator and flaps to be activated when the Land Switch is engaged.
Three flap and elevator positions are available. The landing system can also be activated by a preset position
of the throttle stick. Refer to the Automatic Landing Attitude section for more information on how to select the
preset throttle position.
Note: The Flap System is only operational when SYSTEM is selected under Flap in the Input
Select screen. See page 46 for more detail.
Accessing and Utilizing the Flap System
Press the UP and SELECT keys simultaneously to enter the Function Mode.
Press either the UP or DowN key until FLAP SYS appears in the upper left portion of the LCD.
Press the SELECT key to position the cursor at the desired function (e.g., ELEV, FLAP, SPOI, AUTO).
Note: The flap system can only be accessed when SYSTEM is selected in the Input Select
screen under flaps. See page 46 for more details.
Press the UP or DowN key to set the value for flap and elevator travel. The UP key adds up flap/elevator and
the DowN key adds down flap/elevator. The input is adjustable from 125% for flap and -200% for elevator.
Automatic Landing
When the Automatic Landing Function is active, the throttle stick will activate the landing system you have
just set up. Any point of throttle stick travel can be set as the “auto-land” point. Once the throttle stick passes
through this point and the LAND switch is in the MID, or land position, the landing system will be activated.
Thus, the elevator and flaps would be activated. If the flap mixing switch is not in the LAND position, the throttle
stick operation would have no effect on the landing system.
To Activate the Automatic Landing Feature
In the flap screen, press the SELECT key until AUTO is highlighted.
Press either the INCREASE or DECREASE key to activate the AUTOMATIC LANDING SYSTEM.
To change this value, press the INCREASE or DECREASE key to adjust the value (0% = low stick while
100% = full stick).
To clear the auto land point, press CLEAR and the display will return to INH.
