    missed approach, use of airborne low approach equipment, minimum altitude for the use of the autopilot, instrument and equipment failure warning systems, instrument failure, and other procedures, instructions, and limitations that may be found necessary by the Administrator…

  • Chapter 7, Section II: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Turns › Unusual Attitude Recovery Protection

    rendering it unusable. Autopilot Usage The autopilot is equipped with inputs from a turn coordinator installed behind the MFD screen. This turn coordinator is installed solely for the use of the autopilot to facilitate the roll mode, which is simply ... autopilot also decreases the chances of entry into an unusual attitude. Flying an EFD-equipped aircraft without the use of an autopilot has been shown to increase workload and decrease situational awareness for pilots first learning to flying…

  • Chapter 8: Helicopter Attitude Instrument Flying › Instrument Flight › Aircraft Control

    applied to such a degree that control movement is limited. In addition, many helicopters equipped for instrument flight contain stability augmentation systems or an autopilot to help relieve pilot workload. Straight-and-Level Flight Straight-and-level unaccelerated flight consists…

  • Chapter 4: Approaches › Autopilot Modes

    Autopilot Modes In general, an autopilot can be used to fly approaches even if the FMC is inoperative (refer to the specific aircraft’s minimum equipment list (MEL) to determine authorization for operating with the FMC inoperative). Whether ... use of the altitude pre-selector and auto-throttles, if equipped. The AFM for the specific aircraft outlines procedures and limitations required for the use of the autopilot during an instrument approach in that aircraft…
