8.3 Autopilot control options
Your multifunction display enables you to navigate to target waypoints using the autopilot control options.
When you arrive at a waypoint, the Pilot Control dialog is displayed, providing the following options:
Option | Description |
|
|
ENGAGE PILOT — TRACK | Engages the autopilot and continues |
| to the next waypoint in the route. This |
| option is not available if you have |
| reached the last waypoint in the route. |
CLEAR ALARM | Silences the waypoint arrival alarm. |
| Engages the autopilot in auto mode, |
| continuing on the current heading. |
STANDBY | Cancels the waypoint arrival alarm |
| and disengages the autopilot. |
AUTO | Cancels the waypoint arrival alarm and |
| engages the autopilot in auto mode. If |
| you just arrived at the last waypoint in |
| the route, the autopilot continues on |
| the current locked heading. |
8.4 Autopilot alarms
The autopilot functions provide alarms to alert you to situations that require action.
Your multifunction display shows autopilot alarms, regardless of whether there is active navigation on the system. If pilot integration is enabled, and an alarm is raised by the autopilot, the multifunction display provides an audible alarm sound (providing that the alarm has not already been silenced). The Pilot Control screen is displayed, indicating a new alarm. Additionally, the pilot transducer icon is displayed in red, and remains red until the alarm is cleared.
Silencing autopilot alarms
1. Press the CLEAR ALARM softkey.
The alarm is silenced and the autopilot remains engaged in auto mode, continuing on the current heading.
Silencing autopilot alarms and disengaging autopilot
1. Press the STANDBY softkey.
The alarm is silenced, and the autopilot is disengaged and put in standby mode.
