)systemisavailableonlywhentheGFC700
AFCSisinstalled.Thissystemisdesignedtoprovideautomaticcontrolinputstodiscourageaircraftoperation
outside a desired flight envelope. Garmin ESP
™
workstomaintainthedesiredpitch,roll,andairspeedoperating
envelope by automatically engaging one or more servos when the aircraft is near a dened pitch, roll, and/
orairspeedoperatinglimit.WhileESP
™
utilizesthesamesensors,processors,andactuatorsastheGFC700
autopilot, it is a separate function. The ESP
™
systemonlyoperateswhentheGFC700autopilotisnotengaged
andtheaircraftisabove200feetAGL.
ESP
™
engages when the aircraft exceeds one or more conditions (pitch, roll, and airspeed) beyond the normal
flight parameters. Enhanced stability for each condition is provided by applying a force to the appropriate control
surface to return the aircraft to the desired flight envelope. This is perceived by the pilot as resistance to control
movement in the undesired direction when the aircraft approaches a steep attitude or high airspeed.
As the aircraft deviates further from the desired attitude or airspeed, the force increases (up to an established
maximum) to encourage control movement in the direction necessary to return to the desired attitude and/or
airspeed range. Except in the case of high airspeed, when maximum force is reached, force remains constant up to
the maximum engagement limit. Above the maximum engagement limit, forces are no longer applied. There is no
maximum engagement related to a high airspeed condition.
WhenESP
™
has been engaged for more than ten seconds (cumulative; not necessarily consecutive seconds) of a
20-second interval, the autopilot is automatically engaged with the flight director in LevelModeinthepitchand/or
rollaxis,bringingtheaircraftintolevelight.Anaural“EngagingAutopilot”alertisplayedandtheightdirector

The pilot can interrupt ESP
™
by pressing and holding the Autopilot Disconnect (AP DISC) switch. Upon releasing
the or AP DISC switch, ESP
™
force will again be applied, provided aircraft roll attitude is within engagement limits.

To enable or disable ESP
™
:
1) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the AUX Page Group.
2) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the System Setup Page.
3) If necessary, press the SETUP 2 Softkey to display the AUX-SYSTEM SETUP 2 Page. If the AUX-SYSTEM SETUP 2
is already displayed, proceed to step 4.
4) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor.
5) Turn the large FMS Knob to place the cursor in the STABILITY & PROTECTION field.
6) Turn the small FMS Knob to select ‘ENABLE’ or ‘DISABLE’.
7) Press the FMS Knob to remove the cursor.
ESP
