Back Course (BC)
With back course selected in approach mode, the system when captu-
ring will command the bank necessary to capture and track a reverse
LOC course. Glideslope is locked out. The inbound front approach
course is always set on the HSI to enable you to make course correc-
tions toward the needle rather than away from the needle on the HSI.
Go Around (GA)
Push the „Go Around” button (hidden clickspot on the autopilot
panel: click the screw in the upper left corner) and the system will
command wings level and nose up to a preset missed approach climb
attitude.
Altitude Hold (ALT)
Pitch command to maintain engaged altitude.
Vertical Trim
Provides capability to adjust or slew the Altitude up or down without
disengaging and then reengaging ALT Hold. If Altitude Hold is not
engaged, the Vertical Trim knob will adjust the pitch attitude up or
down.
Altitude Preselect (via KAS 297 Altitude Preselector)
Permits preselection of a desired altitude and automatic capture upon
reaching that altitude.
Autopilot (AP)
Control surfaces respond to all selected Flight Director mode com-
mands in both pitch and roll axis plus automatic pitch trim. A full time
yaw damper is in operation any time the Autopilot is engaged.
Yaw Damp Engage
System senses motion around the yaw axis and automatically moves
the rudder to oppose yaw.
