1 CAP – Cessna Differences TrainingSummer 2016 Cessna Aircraft Differences Training (Autopilots)

2 CAP – Cessna Differences TrainingSummer 2016 Objectives / Content Summarize key differences between: KAP 140 Autopilot Garmin GFC 700 Automatic Flight Control System

3 CAP – Cessna Differences TrainingSummer 2016 The information in this briefing is intended to serve as a departure point for discussion during CAP flight evaluations and transition training. It should not be interpreted or used as a substitute for the detailed information provided in the Airplane Flying Manual or Pilot’s Operating Handbook for each aircraft model.

4 CAP – Cessna Differences TrainingSummer 2016 Automatic Flight Control Systems KAP 140GFC 700 Two axis autopilot with pitch and roll Pilot must use rudder for coordinated flight and throttle for power (no yaw damper or auto throttles) Rate-based (info from TC)Attitude-based (info from AHRS) Engaging AP engages VS & roll holdsEngaging AP engages pitch & roll holds Vertical components include: Vertical Speed Hold (VS) Altitude Pre-select Altitude Hold Glide slope capture Vertical components include: Vertical Speed Hold (VS) Altitude Pre-select Altitude Hold Glide slope / glide path capture Flight Level Change (FLC) Vertical navigation (VNAV) Go-Around Mode (GA) Flight Director (can be used with or without the autopilot) Control Wheel Steering (CWS)

5 CAP – Cessna Differences TrainingSummer 2016 1.Press yoke AP disconnect. 2.Autopilot disconnects. 3.Climb, stay on final approach course. 4.Press OBS/SUSP when SUSP annunciated. 5.Press CDI to switch nav source to GPS. Go-Around Differences 1.Press go-around (GA) button by throttle. 2.Autopilot disconnects. 3. GA/GA horizontal/vertical mode annunciated. 4.Straight-ahead guidance provided. 5.GPS automatically sequences to missed approach (un-SUSP). 6.CDI nav source automatically switches to GPS. KAP 140 Actions & Expectations Note: Review your aircrafts POH, any differences the POH governs. Different software updates may also have differences GFC 700 Actions & Expectations
