Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and CalibrationYou should be able to find a sensitivity level that is acceptable for both headingholds and turns in smooth air. You may, however, find that in periods of extendedturbulence, a lower sensitivity level must be set.Verify turn rate limit and bank limit settings during turn(s)During an autopilot-controlled turn, verify that the time to complete a turn matches yourexpectations given the setting for the turn rate target. For example, if the turn rate target is setto 3 degrees per second, a 90 degree turn should take about 30 seconds. If this is not the case,the bank angle required by the target turn rate may exceed the set maximum bank angle.Ensure that during an autopilot-controlled turn, the bank angle indicated on the PFD does notreach your maximum bank angle. If it does, you must either increase the maximum bank angleor decrease the turn rate target.At this point, all the parameters in the Roll Axis Menu should be appropriately tuned.Disengage the autopilotDisengage the autopilot by either pressing and holding the disengage button for 2 seconds orby entering the AP Menu (MAIN MENU > AP MENU) and toggling both axes to off ( i.e.,and ).Pitch Servo Flight Tuning ProcedureThis procedure tunes the pitch autopilot servo and thus, the flight characteristics of the aircraftin altitude holds, climbs, and descents.Pitch Servo Flight Tuning Procedure OverviewThe following list is an overview of the pitch servo flight tuning procedure. Each step isdescribed in more detail after the list.1. Verify preferred airspeed minimum and maximum values and default climb and descentvertical speeds.2. Ensure the aircraft is in trim.3. Engage the autopilot in altitude mode.4. Allow a few minutes of stable flight under autopilot control.5. Adjust roll servo torque and/or sensitivity and/or pitch gain values as needed.6. Initiate autopilot-controlled climbs and descents.7. Verify roll torque, sensitivity, and the other available advanced gain and rate settingsduring climbs and descents.8. Verify airspeed minimum and maximum values and default climb and descent verticalspeeds during altitude changes.9. Execute several autopilot-controlled changes of altitude and observe the overall aircraftperformance.10. Observe and verify trim indications during altitude holds and changes.SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision J 10-25
