With ESP
™
engaged, and the aircraft in a nose-up condition, opposing force steadily decreases from 20° nose-
up to 12° nose-up as aircraft pitch moves toward zero degrees. ESP
™
disengages at 12° nose-up. With ESP
™
engaged, and the aircraft in a nose-down condition, opposing force steadily decreases from 25° nose-down to
17° nose-down as aircraft pitch moves toward zero degrees. ESP
™
disengages at 17° nose-down.
The opposing force increases or decreases depending on the pitch angle and the direction of pitch travel. This
force is intended to encourage movement in the pitch axis in the direction of the normal pitch attitude range
for the aircraft.
There are no indications marking the pitch ESP
™
engage and disengage limits in these nose-up/nose-down
conditions.
