Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and CalibrationAdjust roll servo torque and/or sensitivity values as neededObserve the autopilot status indicator on the Top Bar while the autopilot flies. If the roll axisindicator frequently looks like, it is an indication that the roll servo is slipping andthe torque needs to be increased. Occasional slips due to turbulence are acceptable.If necessary, adjust the torque percentage on the Roll Axis Torque Adjust Page (SETUP MENU >AUTOPILOT SETUP > ROLL AXIS > TORQUE).If you have adjusted the roll servo torque to 100% and are still seeing frequentslips, you may need to try a higher strength servo (e.g., if you have an SV32installed, try swapping for an SV42).After verifying that the torque percentage is set appropriately, watch closely for autopilotwandering around the target track. The autopilot should keep the triangle of the track bugclosely aligned with the small, magenta ground track triangle.If excessive wandering is observed, increase the sensitivity level on the Roll AxisSensitivity Adjust Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP > ROLL AXIS >SENSITIVITY). If the autopilot control seems twitchy or aggressive, decrease thesensitivity. All adjustments of sensitivity should be done in increments of 1 or 2,allowing you to notice subtle changes in control.Change the heading bug 90 degrees from the current headingChange the heading bug to 90 degrees to the left or right of current heading.1. Configure a joystick to control the heading bug as enumerated in the How to Enter theJoystick Function Menu Section of this guide. The label above the joystick should read(HDG).2. Turn the joystick either way until the track bug reads 90 degrees to the left or right ofcurrent heading.3. As soon as the track bug is changed, the autopilot begins changing the aircraft’sdirection to follow.Verify roll torque and sensitivity settings during turn(s)During an autopilot-controlled turn, observe the autopilot status indicator on the Top Bar asyou did earlier. If excessive slipping is observed (i.e.,), then increase the roll servo’storque percentage.Repeat the 90 degree autopilot-controlled turns and torque adjustments until the autopilot rollaxis indicator does not display a slip indication.Continue performing autopilot-controlled turns and observe the overall behavior of the aircraft.If the aircraft wallows, or rolls out of turns slowly as it reaches the target heading, that is anindication that the roll servo sensitivity needs to be increased. If, upon reaching the targetheading, the stick twitches excessively, that is an indication that the Roll Servo SENSITIVITYneeds to be decreased.10-24 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision J
