CONTROL WHEEL STEERING (CWS)
Control Wheel Steering allows the aircraft to be hand-flown without disengaging
the Integrated Autopilot. Press and hold the external autopilot unit’s CWS Button
to temporarily disengage the pitch and roll servos from the flight control surfaces
and hand-fly the aircraft. The G300 autopilot control is synchronized to the
aircraft attitude during Control Wheel Steering. The green ‘AP’ annunciation is
temporarily replaced by a white ‘CW’ for the duration of Control Wheel Steering
maneuvers.
In most scenarios, releasing the CWS Button reengages the Integrated Autopilot
with a new reference. Refer to Sections 9.2 (Vertical Modes) and 9.3 (Lateral
Modes) for Control Wheel Steering behavior in each mode.
G300 AUTOPILOT STATUS BOX
Autopilot (AP) status and Integrated Autopilot mode annunciations are displayed
on the G300 Autopilot Status Box, located on the PFD. When the external
autopilot unit is engaged and the G300 is issuing commands to it, lateral and/or
vertical modes are displayed. When the external autopilot unit is engaged but it
is operating in a standalone mode (i.e., not responding to the G300 commands),
the Autopilot status (AP) is displayed; however, the lateral/vertical modes are not
displayed.
Autopilot (AP) status is displayed on the far left of the G300 Autopilot Status
Box. Lateral modes are displayed in the center, and vertical modes are displayed
on the right. Armed modes are displayed in white and active in green.
