Minimizing Free Play
It is important that the autopilot servo have positive control of the aircraft control surface
when engaged. If there is free play or “slop” anywhere between the servo, the linkages that
connect it to the aircraft, and the aircraft control surface, the autopilot’s performance may
suffer. To test for free play:
Immobilize the autopilot servo arm. This can be accomplished by manually restraining
the autopilot arm/capstan, or by engaging the autopilot on the ground in servo test
