H.4.8 Electronic Stability Configuration Page
This page allows configuration of certain options for the ESP™ corrective technology (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 Pilot’s Guide (190-01115-00) 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 (Appendix H.2
), use the FMS Joystick to select the ESP configuration page.
2. Use the FMS Joystick to select the desired configurable item and make the desired change. Then
press the ENT Key or use the FMS Joystick to select the next item. Press the FMS Joystick to
move the cursor to the page selection menu when finished.
