Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibrationregarding configuring the measurement units). As mentioned previously, the maximum valuefor this parameter is 95% of VNE. This is also the default value.To set the maximum airspeed:1. Go to the Pitch Axis Maximum Airspeed Adjust Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP> PITCH AXIS > MAXIMUM AIRSPEED).2. Adjust the maximum airspeed.3. Press ACCEPT to save the value or press CANCEL to return to the Roll Axis Menu.Minimum AirspeedIf the AP is engaged and the Minimum Airspeed limit is changed to a value that ishigher than the current airspeed, the AP will immediately act to increase theairspeed to the new minimum airspeed setting. Dynon recommends that this settingonly be adjusted with the AP disengaged.The pitch axis minimum airspeed is the lowest airspeed at which the pilot may engage theautopilot. The autopilot cannot be engaged at airspeeds below the minimum airspeed, with theexception of 0 knots, allowing for ground testing.When flying at airspeeds lower than the minimum airspeed or when the autopilot is engagedand the aircraft airspeed drops below the minimum, SkyView indicates that the aircraft hasdropped below the parameter by displaying SPD indicators in the Top Bar as illustrated in Figure66 above.If the aircraft’s altitude drops below the target altitude bug and the autopilot cannot pitch theaircraft up without dropping below the minimum airspeed, SkyView presents the prompt:Figure 68 - Top Bar Airspeed Low IndicationThe minimum airspeed parameter must be set to at least (and defaults to) 30% above VS1,which should be set to the specifications of your aircraft in the Airspeed Limitations Menu(reference page 5-6 for more information) and is specified in the units set in the MeasurementUnits Menu (i.e., miles per hour, knots, or kilometers per hour; reference page 3-8 for moreinformation regarding configuring the measurement units). As previously mentioned, theminimum value for this parameter is 30% above VS1. This is also the default value.To set the minimum airspeed:1. Go to the Pitch Axis Minimum Airspeed Adjust Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP> PITCH AXIS > MINIMUM AIRSPEED).2. Adjust the minimum airspeed.3. Press ACCEPT to save the value or press CANCEL to return to the Roll Axis Menu.SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision O 10-19
