Switch/Lever Status
The status of each switch is shown on the OUT line at the bottom of the display. A
switch/lever can be Active (ACT) where the switch controls the channel, or Inhibited
(INH) where the switch does not control the channel, making the switch available for
other purposes.
In the case of the FLAP channel, the switch can also be set to System (SYS), indicating
that the Flap System will be active and controlled by the switch. When set to SYS, the
Flap System appears in the FUNCTION List (covered later).
In the case of the AUX2 and AUX3 channels, the switch can also be set to GYRO,
indicating that the GYRO System is active and controlled by the switch. When set to
GYRO, the GYRO System appears in the FUNCTION List (covered later).
Flight Mode Status
The default Flight Mode status is Inhibited (INH), indicating that Flight Modes are
inhibited. Flight Modes are activated by highlighting and selecting INH under Flight
Modes and selecting either the FLAP switch or the AUX2 switch as the Flight Mode
switch.
Once Flight Modes have been activated, additional Flight Mode parameters appear on the
display that govern Trim and Dual Rate switches.

FLIGHT MODES – Devic.SEL
What is a Flight Mode? A Flight Mode represents an aircraft configuration that is designed and
optimized to assist the pilot and the aircraft in performing a specific type of maneuver. Since the
XP9303 has 3 Flight Modes, 3 different aircraft configurations can be defined and the pilot can
select between the 3 configurations during flight using a single switch.
The Objective of programming Flight Modes is to provide the ability to flip a switch to select a
collection of settings that make it easy to perform a maneuver. An aerobatic aircraft for
example, may be set up such that the Flight Mode switch in its 1
st
position configures the aircraft
for normal precision flying; positioning the switch in it's 2
nd
position sets the aircraft up for snap
rolls; and positioning the switch in its 3
rd
position sets the aircraft up for consecutive rolls, slow
rolls, and rolling circles. The 3 Flight Modes could just as easily represent aircraft settings for
Take Off, Flying, and Landing for a turbine powered jet aircraft. The point being that Flight
Modes can make the pilot's job a lot easier by configuring the aircraft to do different things by
flipping a single switch.
3 Flight Modes are available in the XP9303 system. When Flight Modes are activated they are
selected during flight by using one of the two 3-position switches (FLAP Switch or AUX2
