The ESP roll limit indications are not de-cluttered when the airplane is in an extreme attitude. ESP roll
limit indications are not shown when ESP is not configured for a given installation, ESP is not available as
determined by the active GIA, or the autopilot is engaged.
On airplanes that are equipped with certain lift computers, ESP Angle Of Attack (AOA) Alpha Floor
Symbology will be initially displayed approximately 4 degrees above the aircraft attitude symbol on the
PFD when approaching stall angles of attack. The Alpha Floor symbology will be removed from the
display when the pitch attitude is approximately 5 degrees below stall warning angle of attack. Refer to
Figure 19 below for an illustration of the Alpha Floor symbology.

Autopilot Underspeed Protection
For airplanes that have ESP installed, the AFCS is able to detect and protect against underspeed
situations while the autopilot is engaged.
When the AFCS is engaged in a non-altitude critical mode (LVL, PIT, FLC, VS, VNV) and airspeed falls
below the minimum threshold of 100 KIAS, the AFCS automatically enters minimum airspeed mode. A
MINSPD annunciation appears above the airspeed tape, and the AFCS causes the airplane to pitch down
to maintain 100 KIAS. An aural “AIRSPEED” alert will sound once
.
For airplanes that have system software 0985.07 or later installed, the minimum airspeed thresholds for
both MINSPD annunciation and AFCS airspeed protection are determined according to flap position. The
AFCS causes the airplane to pitch down to maintain the minimum speed for the flap setting in use:
Flap Setting
Minimum Airspeed
(KIAS)
UP 100
TAKEOFF AND APPROACH 95
DOWN 90
If the AFCS is engaged in an altitude critical mode ( ALT, GS, GP and GA) and the aural stall warning is
played for more than 1 second, the AFCS will maintain a wings-level roll attitude and pitch the airplane
down to maintain an airspeed that will cause the aural stall warning to stop playing, plus 2 KIAS. Also, an
aural “AIRSPEED” alert will sound every 5 seconds.
All Underspeed Protection modes are exited automatically when there is enough airplane performance to
follow the originally selected flight director mode and reference.
Coupled Go-Around
ESP equipped airplanes are capable of flying fully coupled go-around maneuvers. Pressing the GA
button on the Left power lever will not disengage the autopilot. Instead, the AP will attempt to capture and
track the flight director command bars. If insufficient airplane performance is available to follow the
commands, the AFCS will enter altitude-critical Underspeed Protection mode when the stall warning
