RNAV/RNP NAVIGATION ELIGIBILITY
Section 4 – Normal procedures
AUTOPILOT NORMAL PROCEDURES
AUTOPILOT NORMAL PROCEDURES 6
For detailed description of A/P selections, behaviour and display out-
look, refer to the “Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Tecnam
P2010” (Part No. 190-01830-00 Revision A dated September 25, 2014
or a more updated version); it must be always carried in the aircraft
and made available to the pilot at all time.
If A/P Master switch and /or Trim disconnect switch are inadvertently
switched OFF, it will be necessary to reset both switches to allow A/P
and pitch trim functionality. In this case pilot will make sure A/P is dis-
engaged before reset. The single reset of only one of the switches will
not permit to reset the single functionality.
PREFLIGHT:
AIRCRAFT PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS:
1) MASTER SWITCH (BAT): ON.
2) AVIONICS MASTER SWITCH: ON.
3) AUTOPILOT MASTER SWITCH: ON.
4) POWER APPLICATION and SELFCTEST - The autopilot tests itself when
power is first made available. The test is a sequence of internal checks before starting
normal system operation. The test sequence is shown on PFD left upper corner by the
red AFCS label followed by the white PFT label, ending with double AP disengagement
tone (which indicates a successful completion).
Autopilot system availability is shown under system page on MFD.
If the red AFCS stays ON, the A/P has failed the preflight test. Put the A/P
MASTER SWITCH OFF to make sure that the A/P will not operate.
5) MANUAL ELECTRIC TRIM (MET) SYSTEM - TEST.
Pitch Trim: cycle fully up and down, then set to NEUTRAL.
Both pitch trim halves must be actuated to move pitch trim.
Any movement of the elevator trim wheel during the check of either the
LH or RH Switch only means that the Manual Electric Trim System has
failed.
6) ELEVATOR TRIM WHEEL - SET pointer to takeoff position.
7) AVIONICS MASTER SWITCH: OFF
8) MASTER SWITCH (BAT): OFF
