Pitch Engagement
ESP engages at 21° nose-up and 21° nose-down. Once ESP is engaged, it will apply
opposing force between 19° and 50° nose-up and between 19° and 50° nose-down.
Maximum opposing force is applied between 25° and 50° nose-up and between 25°
and 50° nose-down.
The opposing force increases or decreases depending on the pitch angle and the
direction of pitch travel. This force is intended to encourage movement in the pitch
axis in the direction of the normal pitch attitude range for the aircraft.
There are no indications marking the pitch ESP engage and disengage limits in
these nose-up/nose-down conditions.
Underspeed Protection
Decreasing airspeed to the point of an impending stall will result in ESP applying
force to lower the nose of the aircraft. In addition the ESP applied force, an
‘UNDERSPEED PROTECT ACTIVE’ warning alert is displayed. When the underspeed
condition is remedied, ESP force is no longer applied.
High Airspeed Protection
Exceeding Vmo will result in ESP applying force to raise the nose of the aircraft.
When the high airspeed condition is remedied, ESP force is no longer applied.
