Maximum Bank AngleAutopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and CalibrationThe maximum bank angle parameter specifies a maximum bank angle which the autopilot willnot exceed during turns. An appropriate maximum bank angle protects against overbankconditions. If the maximum bank angle is reached during a turn, the autopilot limits the bank tothat value and then reduces it as needed to complete the turn.If the maximum bank angle is reached, the turn rate target is ignored until the aircraft returnsto within 5° of level in the roll axis.To derive an appropriate maximum bank angle, calculate the bank angle that results from yourdesired turn rate limit and cruising airspeed. Then set the maximum bank angle to at least 5°above this value. If you are not comfortable with this bank, decrease the turn rate target. Thebank angle minimum is 5° and the maximum is 45°. Its default value is 35° and it is adjustable in1° increments.To adjust the maximum bank angle:1. Go to the Roll Axis Maximum Bank Angle Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP >ROLL AXIS > MAXIMUM BANK ANGLE).2. Adjust the maximum bank angle.3.

For example, a setting of 3.0°/SEC will ideally complete a 90° turn in 30seconds. Due to flight dynamics and the time it takes the autopilot to initiate a turn, there maybe points during a turn where the turn rate target is exceeded. Turn rate target is specified indegrees per second (°/SEC). The minimum turn rate target value is 0.5°/SEC and the maximumis 3°/SEC. Its default value is 1.5°/SEC and it is adjustable in 0.1°/SEC increments.To adjust the turn rate target:1. Go to the Roll Axis Turn Rate Target Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP > ROLLAXIS > TURN RATE TARGET).2. Adjust the turn rate target value.3. Press ACCEPT to save the value or press CANCEL to return to the Roll Axis Menu.Pitch Axis ConfigurationPitch Axis TorqueThe pitch axis torque parameter specifies how much torque the pitch servo will exert beforeslipping. Servo slip is indicated by the word SLIP in black letters in a yellow box on the Top Barfor the pitch axis as shown in Figure 56.Figure 56–Example Pitch Axis Servo Slip WarningSkyView System Installation Guide - Revision J 10-15
