Servo Test ProcedureAutopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and CalibrationThe 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. <strong>SkyView</strong> 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 Setup and Fine TuningThere are several parameters in the Autopilot Setup Menu (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP)that allow you to fine tune the behavior of the <strong>SkyView</strong> autopilot system. This section describesthese adjustable parameters. Note that the Autopilot Setup Menu is only accessible after asuccessful servo test procedure.Roll Axis ConfigurationRoll Axis TorqueThe roll axis torque parameter specifies how much torque the servo will exert before slipping.Servo slip is indicated by the word SLIP in black letters in a yellow box on the Top Bar for the rollaxis as shown in Figure 55.Figure 55–Example Roll Axis Servo Slip WarningTorque must be set high enough to prevent any slip due to air loads, but low enough that thepilot can comfortably override the autopilot should the need arise. If the servo slipscontinuously, the autopilot cannot fly the aircraft. Torque is specified in percent (%) ofmaximum the servo is capable of exerting. The minimum is 10%, the maximum is 100%, and thedefault value is 100%.To adjust the roll axis torque value:1. Go to the Roll Axis Torque Adjust Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP > ROLL AXIS >TORQUE).2. Adjust the torque %.3. Press ACCEPT to save the value or press CANCEL to return to the Roll Axis Menu.It may take some experimentation to find the right value for your aircraft, but if you arecomfortable overriding the servo at 100% torque, it is safe to leave that setting at its defaultvalue.<strong>SkyView</strong> System Installation Guide - Revision J 10-13
