Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and CalibrationAutopilot Servo Calibration and Test ProceduresThere are both ground-based setup and in-flight turning procedures that arerequired to fully configure your autopilot installation. Initial servo setup /calibration / test procedures are covered in this guide. In-flight procedures arecovered in the SkyView Autopilot In-Flight Tuning Guide.Adjusting autopilot settings while the autopilot is engaged is not recommended, assome settings changes may cause the autopilot to react immediately and counterto the pilot’s immediate expectations.All servos must be properly networked into the SkyView system and IAS tape colors /v-speeds must be configured prior to any servo calibration, testing, or tuning.Reference the Network Setup and Status Section for instructions on how tonetwork the servos into the system and the Airspeed Limitations Section forinstructions on how to set IAS tape colors.Servo Calibration ProcedureServo calibration cannot be performed without an SV-ADAHRS-200 installed andconfigured in the SkyView system.The servo calibration procedure identifies the orientation and range of motion of each servoand must be performed before the servo test procedure. SkyView uses this procedure toautomatically differentiate between the pitch and the roll servos.To calibrate the servos, enter the Servo Calibration Wizard (SETUP MENU > HARDWARECALIBRATION > SERVO CALIBRATION > CALIBRATION) and follow the onscreen instructions tocalibrate the servo(s). If the servo calibration procedure is successful, SkyView will automaticallyinstruct you to run the servo test procedure.Servo Test ProcedureThe servo test procedure requires a successful servo calibration. The servo test procedureverifies that each servo is configured properly by moving the control surfaces while the installerverifies the correct movement. You may run this procedure on its own at any time after asuccessful servo calibration. SkyView will not display AP status on the Top Bar until after thistest procedure is successfully completed.To run this procedure on its own (after a successful servo calibration procedure), enter theServo Test Wizard (SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > SERVO CALIBRATION > TEST)and follow the onscreen instructions to test the servo(s).Autopilot Servo Initial SetupThere are several parameters in the Autopilot Setup Menu (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP)that allow you to tune the behavior of the SkyView autopilot system.
