The pilot can interrupt ESP by pressing and holding either the Control Wheel Steer-
ing (CWS) or Autopilot Disconnect (AP/YD DISC TRIM INTRPT) switch. Upon re-
leasing the CWS or AP/YD DISC TRIM INTRPT switch, ESP force will again be ap-
plied, provided aircraft attitude and/or airspeed are within their respective engagement
limits. ESP can also be overridden by overpowering the servo’s mechanical torque limit.
ESP can be enabled or disabled on the AUX-SYSTEM SETUP 2 Page on the MFD.
To enable or disable ESP
™
:
1) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the AUX Page Group.
2) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the System Setup Page.
3) If necessary, select the SETUP 2 Softkey to display the AUX-SYSTEM SETUP 2
Page. If the AUX-SYSTEM SETUP 2 is already displayed, proceed to step 4.
4) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor.
5) Turn the large FMS Knob to place the cursor in the STABILITY & PROTECTION
field.
6) Turn the small FMS Knob to select ‘ENABLE’ or ‘DISABLE’.
7) Press the FMS Knob to remove the cursor.
ESP is automatically enabled on system power up.
Roll Engagement
Roll Limit Indicators are displayed on the roll scale at 45° right and left, indicating
where ESP will engage. As roll attitude exceeds 45°, ESP will engage and the on-side
Roll Limit Indicator will move to 30°. The Roll Limit Indicator is now showing where
ESP will disengage as roll attitude decreases.
Once engaged, ESP force will be applied between 30° and 75°. The force increases
as roll attitude increases and decreases as roll attitude decreases. The applied force
is intended to encourage pilot input that returns the airplane to a more normal roll
attitude. As roll attitude decreases, ESP will disengage at 30°.
ESP is automatically disengaged if the aircraft reaches the autopilot roll engagement
attitude limit of 75°.
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.
