Figure 8-53 ESP MFD Power-up Page Examples

ESP engages when the aircraft exceeds one or more conditions beyond the normal flight envelope (pitch, roll , VNE, or impending stall). Enhanced stability for each condition is provided by applying a force Lo the appropriate control surface to return the aircraft to the normal flight envelope. This is perceived by the pilot as resistance to control movement in the undesired direction when the aircraft approaches a steep attitude, high speed, or impending stall

condition. The ESP fea ture will only function when the aircraf L.meets the following conditions:

• The aircraft is in flight. The system infers this by speed. If the aircraft GPS ground speed is 0ver 30 knots, or

True Airspeed is over 50 Knots. • The aircraft is above 200 fee t AGL ( GPS Altitude), if GPS altitude is available.

• The autopilot is not engaged , meaning the pilot is "hand flying ." • The Aircraft is within the maximum engagement limit range defined as Pitch (±50°) and Bank (±

750).

ESP is automatically enabled above 200 ft AGL using GPS altitud~ . If a Loss of GPS Integrity (LOI) occurs ESP

will default to enabled , however low speed ESP functions will be disabled.

HIGH AIRSPEED PROTECTION Exceeding Vne 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.

LOW AIRSPEED PROTECTION

(Model 172) When the aircraft decelerates below 55 KIAS and remains below 55 KIAS fo r..l second, ESP will activate and begin applying nose down force . ESP will stop applying the nose down force once airspeed has increased above 55 KIAS.

(Models 182 and 206) When the stall warning has been active for at least one half second , ESP will activate and begin applying a nose down force . ESP will stop applying the nose down force once the angle of attack has been reduced sufficiently to deactivate the stall warning.

OVERSPEED PROTECTION

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

• NOTE: Overspeed protection is not active in ALT, GS or GP modes.

While Pitch Hold , Vertical Speed, Flight Level Change , Vertical Path Tracking, or an altitude capture mode is active, airspeed is monitored by the flight director. Overspeed protection is provided to limit the f1ight director's pitch command in situations where the flight director cannot acquire and maintain the mode reference for the selected vertical mode without exceeding Vne.

When Overspeed Protection is active , the Airspeed Reference appears in a box above the Airspeed Indicator, flashing a amber 'MAXSPD' annunciation . Engine power should be reduced and/or the pitch reference adjusted to slow the aircraft. The annunciation disappears when the overspeed condition is resolved .

SUSPECTED AUTOPILOT MALFUNCTION

• NOTE: Consult the aircraft documentation for the location of circuit breakers as well as specifics that may supplement or amplify this procedure.

If an autopilot failure or trim failure is suspected to have occurred, perform the following steps:

1) Firmly grasp the control wheel.

2) Press and hold the AP DISC Button. The autopilot will disconnect and power is removed from the trim motor. Power is also removed from all primary servo motors and engaged solenoids. Note the visual and aural alerting indicating autopilot disconnect.

3) Retrim the aircraft as needed. Substantial trim adjustment may be needed.

4) Pull the appropriate circuit breaker(s) to electrically isolate the servo and solenoid components.

5) Release the AP DISC Button.

LEVEL MODE Level (LVL) mode also becomes active as a function of Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP) . Refer to the

Additional Features section for a detailed discussion of the optional ESP feature .

When the.normal flight envelope thr.esholds_bave.. been exceeded for more than 50% of the last 20 second~ Level mode is activated. The autopilot will engage and provide input to bring the aircraft back into straight and level flight based on zero degrees roll angle and zero feet per minute vertical speed . An aural engaging autopilot alert sounds and the lateral and vertical flight director annunciations will display "LVL". The AFCS will remain in Level mode until the pilot selects another moae.

INTERCEPTING AND FLYING A DME ARC

The AFCS wi ll intercept and track a DME arc that is part of the active flight plan provided that GPS N:1vig:11 iLrn Mock is engaged, CPS is the ac tive navigation source on the CDI, and the DME arc segment is the acti ve flight plan leg. It is important 10 note that automatic navigation of DME arcs is based on GPS. Thus. even if the APR key is pressed and LOC or VOR Approach Mode is armed prior to reaching the Initial Approach Fix (!AF), Approach Mode will not activate until the arc segment is completed.

If the pilot decides to intercept the arc at a location other than the published lAF (i.e . ATC provides vectors to intercept the arc) and subsequently selects Heading Mode or Roll Mode, the AFCS will not automatically interce pt or track the arc unless the pilot acti vates the arc leg of the flight plan and arms GPS Navigation Mode. The AFCS will not interce pt and fly a DME arc before reaching an lAF that defines the beginning of the arc segment. Likewise, if at any poi nt while established on the DME arc the pilot deselects GPS Navigation Mode, the AFCS will no longer track the arc.

GO AROUND (GA) MODE

Pressing the GA Button while in the air activates the flight director in a wings-level , pitch-up attitude , allowing the execution of a missed approach or a go around . Go Around Mode arms Selected Altitude Capture Mode automatically. Attempts to modify the aircraft attitude (i .e., with the NOSE UP/NOSE DN Keys or CWS Button) result in reversion to Pitch and Roll Hold modes.
