AFMS N°D01 FOR GARMIN GFC700 AUTOPILOT INSTALLATION AND
RNAV/RNP NAVIGATION ELIGIBILITY
Section 4 – Normal procedures
AUTOPILOT MODES
AUTOPILOT MODES 7
When the A/P is engaged, the pilot must continuously monitor and be
ready to disengage the A/P. Do the Emergency Recovery procedure if A/P
operation is erratic or does not correctly control the airplane.
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) must be carried in the aircraft and made available to the pilot at
all time.
Autopilot tracking performance will not be as good as usual in turbu-
lence.
Autopilot engagement / disengagement is not equivalent to servo en-
gagement/disengagement. Use the CWS Button to disengage the pitch
and roll while the autopilot remains active.
HDG
Pressing the HDG knob synchronizes the Selected Heading to the cur-
rent heading.
In this case expect a small heading overshoot that will be subsequently
corrected.
VS MODE
Selection of a vertical speed beyond the capability of the aircraft can
create a condition of reduced airspeed, and possibly lead to USP acti-
vation.
During A/P operation, pilot must set the A/P Vs rate and engine power
to make sure that airspeed remains within autopilot envelope and does
not exceed any other airplane operating limitation.
VS is an open mode, which will engage irrespective of Selected Alti-
tude. Pilot monitoring is always required to make sure that a correct
Selected Altitude is shown on PFD.
SELECTED ALTITUDE CAPTURE MODE (ALTS)
Pressing the CWS Button while in Selected Altitude Capture Mode does
not cancel the mode.
