AUTO/MANUAL TRIM
The KAP 150 includes as standard
equipment an automatic and manual elec-
tric trim. This allows the KAP 150 system to
trim
off
elevator control surface pressures
while the autopilot is controlling the elevator
through a pitch servo. If the autopilot isn't
engaged and the pilot is hand flying the air-
craft, the manual electric trim switch mount-
ed on the yoke can be used to trim off ele-
vator control forces.
CONTROL WHEEL STEERING
MODE (CWS)
With the autopilot engaged, control
wheel steering (CWS) allows the pilot to
maneuver the aircraft without disengaging
the autopilot.
To use control wheel steering, depress
the CWS button on the yoke. This releases
the autopilot servos and allows you to
assume manual control while autopilot con-
trol functions are placed in a synchroniza-
tion state. This means that when you
release the CWS button, the autopilot will
smoothly resume control of the aircraft and
fly it to the lateral command you were using
prior to engaging CWS. The vertical com-
mand used by the autopilot will be the one
existing when CWS is released.
NOTE:
For system limitations refer to your
Flight Manual Supplement.
