SECTION 6 – AUTOMATIC
FLIGHT CONTROL

SECTION 6: AUTOMATIC FLIGHT
CONTROL
NOTE: The Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) always
supersedes the information in this guide. This
section only applies to the GFC 700 Automatic
Flight Control System (AFCS).
6.1 AFCS CONTROLS
The following dedicated AFCS keys are located on the
bezels of the PFD and MFD:
Figure 6-1 Dedicated AFCS Controls
The following AFCS controls are located in the cockpit
separately from the MFD:
• AP DISC Switch (Autopilot Disconnect)
Disengages the autopilot and interrupts pitch trim
operation. The red AP DISC Switch is located
forward of the
MET Switch on the pilot’s control
wheel left grip. This switch may be used to
acknowledge an autopilot disconnect and mute the
associated aural tone.
•
CWS Button (Control Wheel Steering)
Momentarily disengages the autopilot and
synchronizes the flight director’s Command Bars
with the current aircraft pitch (if not in Glideslope
Mode) and roll (if in Roll Hold Mode).
The CWS
Button is located on the top of the pilot’s control
wheel right grip. Upon release of the CWS
Button, the flight director may establish new
reference points, depending on the current
pitch and roll modes.
• GA Switch (Go-Around)
Disengages the autopilot, selects flight director Go-
Around Mode, and activates the missed approach.
The GA Switch is located on the instrument
panel above the throttle.
•
MET Switch (Manual Electric Trim)
The MET Switch is located on the pilot’s control
wheel left grip. This composite switch is split
into left and right sides. The left switch is the
ARM contact and the right switch controls the DN
(forward) and UP (rearward) contacts. The MET
ARM switch can be used to disengage the autopilot
and to acknowledge an autopilot disconnect alert
and mute the associated aural tone. Manual trim
commands are generated only when both sides of
the switch are operated simultaneously. If either
side of the switch is active separately for more than
three seconds, MET function is disabled and ‘PTRM’
is displayed as the AFCS Status Annunciation on the
PFD. The function remains disabled until both sides
of the switch are inactivated.
