P2010 aircraft is equipped, as an optional equipment, with an integrated 2-axis autopilot
suite manufactured by Garmin and identified as GFC 700. This autopilot suite was de-

dedicated keys grouped in a control panel located on the MFD. The installed MFD dis-

Neither yaw axis nor rudder trim tab control is provided.
The autopilot is connected to electric system through the below listed circuit breakers
connected to the avionics bus:
1) A/P (5A)

The installed servos are capstan type and are composed of two main components:
