34.4.10 ESP-X Configuration Page
This page allows configuration of certain options for the ESP (Electronic Stability and Protection)
function. It will only appear in installations that include an autopilot with Garmin servos. ESP is an
optionally enabled feature that is intended to assist the pilot in maintaining the aircraft in a stable flight
condition. This feature will only function when the aircraft is above 200 feet AGL and the autopilot is not
engaged.
ESP engages when the aircraft exceeds one or more conditions (pitch, roll, airspeed) beyond the normal
flight parameters. Enhanced stability for each condition provides a force to the appropriate control surface
to return the aircraft to the normal 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 normal attitude and/or airspeed, the force increases (up to an established
maximum) to encourage control movement in the direction necessary to return to the normal attitude and/
or airspeed range.
See the G3X Touch Pilot’s Guide (190-01754-00) for details of ESP operation. ESP is configured on the
Electronic Stability Configuration page in Configuration Mode per the following procedure.
1. In configuration mode (Section 34.2
), use the Touch Screen or a Move Selector Knob to select the
ESP Configuration page.
2. Use the Touch Screen or a Move Selector Knob to select the desired configurable item and make
the desired change. Then press the OK Key to select the next item.
3. Enter data (where applicable) using the Keyboard (Section 34.4.1
).
4. Press the Back key to return to the Configuration Mode page when finished (if desired).
Roll Attitude Limiting–Select Enabled or Disabled (all other fields remain blank when Disabled). Enter
desired Bank Limit of aircraft (range 45°to60° right and left), this limit will appear as Guardrails on the
PFD.
