SECTION 6: AUTOMATIC FLIGHT

CONTROL

NOTE: The Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) always

supersedes the information in this guide. This

section only applies to the GFC 700 Automatic

Flight Control System (AFCS).

6.1 AFCS CONTROLS

The following dedicated AFCS keys are located on the

bezels of the PFD and MFD:

Figure 6-1 Dedicated AFCS Controls

The following AFCS controls are located in the cockpit

separately from the MFD:

• AP DISC Switch (Autopilot Disconnect)

Disengages the autopilot and interrupts pitch trim

operation. The red AP DISC Switch is located

forward of the

MET Switch on the pilot’s control

wheel left grip. This switch may be used to

acknowledge an autopilot disconnect and mute the

associated aural tone.

•

CWS Button (Control Wheel Steering)

Momentarily disengages the autopilot and

synchronizes the ﬂight director’s Command Bars

with the current aircraft pitch (if not in Glideslope

Mode) and roll (if in Roll Hold Mode).

The CWS

Button is located on the top of the pilot’s control

wheel right grip. Upon release of the CWS

Button, the ﬂight director may establish new

reference points, depending on the current

pitch and roll modes.

• GA Switch (Go-Around)

Disengages the autopilot, selects ﬂight director Go-

Around Mode, and activates the missed approach.

The GA Switch is located on the instrument

panel above the throttle.

•

MET Switch (Manual Electric Trim)

The MET Switch is located on the pilot’s control

wheel left grip. This composite switch is split

into left and right sides. The left switch is the

ARM contact and the right switch controls the DN

(forward) and UP (rearward) contacts. The MET

ARM switch can be used to disengage the autopilot

and to acknowledge an autopilot disconnect alert

and mute the associated aural tone. Manual trim

commands are generated only when both sides of

the switch are operated simultaneously. If either

side of the switch is active separately for more than

three seconds, MET function is disabled and ‘PTRM’

is displayed as the AFCS Status Annunciation on the

PFD. The function remains disabled until both sides

of the switch are inactivated.
