Meridian PA46-500TPAuto Flight

Intelliflight 1500 Autopilot

With AP turned ON and ENGAGED

• Pressing HDG button engage the Heading Mode of the AP.

• With AP OFF but FD ON, pressing HDG button will provide FD guidance ONLY.

• With AP engaged, HDG mode can be entered from any other directional control mode.




With AP turned ON and ENGAGED• Pressing Nav button engage the directional control mode of the AP.• The course needle and CDI will control the AP .• When CDI needle deflection is greater than 50% from center, the autopilot will establish

the aircraft on a 45° intercept angle relative to the selected course.• Even if CDI needle deflection is less than 50%, the autopilot may still establish an intercept

angle of 45°, provided that the aircraft's closure rate to the selected course is sufficiently slow. Otherwise, the intercept angle will be less than 45°.

• An exception to this occurs in the case of a pilot selectable intercept angle. Once the point has been reached at which the autopilot must begin to turn the aircraft onto the course, the course is captured.




With AP turned ON and ENGAGED

• Program a valid waypoint or flight plan into the GPS Navigator, and press the NAV mode selector switch. The NAV GPSS annunciation will appear as shown. The autopilot will laterally steer the aircraft along the predefined course. During the GPSS mode of operation, the autopilot will not accept any course error input from the Course Pointer.

• As with the NAV mode, the AP will set up a 45 degree intercept of the GPS course line TO the next waypoint or next active GPS leg.

• GPSS can be activated from any other AP directional control mode




With AP turned ON and ENGAGED• Press and hold the CWS Switch to engage the CWS mode. The CWS annunciation will

appear as shown in Fig. 3-6, while an audible alert sounds. In addition, both the roll and pitch servos will disengage. Maneuver the aircraft as desired, and then release the CWS Switch to disengage the CWS mode. The CWS annunciation will extinguish, the audible alert will be squelched, and both servos will re-engage.

• The autopilot will resume operation in the previous mode. If the HDG mode was engaged, the autopilot will hold the selected heading. If the NAV, GPSS, APR, or REV mode was engaged, the autopilot will track the selected course. If the IAS, VS, or ALT mode was engaged, the autopilot will hold the new indicated airspeed, vertical speed, or altitude, respectively. If the ROLL or PITCH mode was engaged, the autopilot will hold the new roll attitude or pitch attitude, respectively.




With AP turned OFF and FD ON With the AP READY annunciation

displayed, pressing the FD mode selector switch will engage the FD mode, as indicated by an illuminated FD LED shown above.

Alternately, with the AP READY

annunciation displayed, pressing the AP mode selector switch will engage the AP and FD modes. Under this circumstance, press the AP mode selector switch again to disengage the AP mode, thereby disengaging both the roll and pitch servos.

With the FD mode engaged and the

AP mode disengaged, the pilot must

steer the aircraft toward the Command Bars, until the Aircraft Symbol is tucked into them, for any roll axis or pitch axis mode of operation. The flight director provides a visual indication of how accurately the pilot is tracking the autopilot's roll and pitch commands but the AP is NOT ENGAGED.




With AP turned ON and ENGAGED• From the AP READY, ALT HOLD, IAD and GS modes, the pitch attitude mode can be

engaged. The PITCH annunciation will appear as shown. The autopilot will hold the aircraft at its current (captured) pitch attitude.

• Actions to take based on the existing mode:• AP Ready – press AP or FS; from IAS mode – press IAS key; from ALT mode – press ALT key;

from GS mode – press GA (go-around) to activate PITCH mode to capture and hold the current pitch.

• The captured pitch attitude may be increased or decreased by pressing the UP or DN Modifier Switch, respectively. A single press of the switch will change the pitch attitude 0.25°. However, pressing and holding the switch will cause the pitch attitude to change at a rate of 1°-per-second.




From any active condition, the corresponding subsequent event will engage the altitude hold mode. The ALT HOLD annunciation will appear as shown above.

Rotating either concentric ALT SEL Rotary Knob a single detent will cause the current (captured) baro-corrected altitude to also appear, as a number in units of FT (i.e., for example, 12500 FT). The autopilot will hold the aircraft at the captured altitude.

The captured altitude may be increased or decreased by pressing the UP or DN Modifier Switch, respectively. A single press of the switch will change the altitude by 20 FT, and the range is ±500 FT from the original captured altitude. However, pressing and holding the switch will cause the altitude to change at a rate of 40 FT-per-second.




With AP turned ON and ENGAGED• From altitude hold, preselecting a new altitude is accomplished by rotating the

ALT SEL knob (clockwise to increase altitude, counterclockwise to reduce). • When ready to change altitude, select method – either by VS or by IAS.• Once climb or descent is initiated, it will continue until the pre-selected altitude

is achieved, at which point it will return to ALT HOLD mode.• During climb or descent, pressing ALT will cause the AP to capture the altitude at

the moment ALT is pressed.




With AP turned ON and ENGAGED From any active condition shown in above, the corresponding subsequent event will engage the vertical speed mode. The VS annunciation will appear as above, along with the current (captured) vertical speed. The latter appears as a number in units of FPM, prefixed by either an UP arrow to indicate a climb, or a DOWN arrow to indicate a descent (i.e., for example, 500 indicates 500 FPM climbing). The autopilot will hold the aircraft at the captured vertical speed.

The captured vertical speed may be increased or decreased by pressing the UP or DN Modifier Switch, respectively. A single press of the switch will change the vertical speed by 100 FPM. However, pressing and holding the switch will cause the vertical speed to change at a rate of 400 FPM-per-second.

During a climb, should the commanded vertical speed exceed the actual vertical speed by 300 FPM for a period of 10 seconds, the VS annunciation will flash as an alert to the potential for an impending stall condition. In this event, immediately increase the aircraft's thrust if possible, reduce the commanded vertical speed using the DN Modifier Switch, or both, until the VS annunciation stops flashing.




Caution:Engine power and airspeed must be monitored when the VS mode is engaged:

Insufficient power at low airspeeds may cause the aircraft to stall, and the autopilot to disconnect.

Likewise, higher rates of climb at lower airspeeds may cause the aircraft to stall, and the autopilot to disconnect.

When climbing or descending on VS at airspeeds close to the aircraft's maximum operating airspeed Vmo, large increases in rate of descent (or reductions in rate of climb) may cause the aircraft to exceed Vmo.




With AP turned ON and ENGAGED• To climb or descend with a constant

airspeed, press the IAS button. This will capture the existing KIAS. The captured indicated airspeed may be increased or decreased by pressing the UP or DN Modifier Switch, respectively. A single press of the switch will change the indicated airspeed by 1 KT. However, pressing and holding the switch will cause the indicated airspeed to change at a rate of 20 KTS-per second.

• Once KIAS is set, power changes can be used to either climb or descend. Conversely, leaving the power unchanged and either increasing or decreasing the desired IAS can be used to either climb or descend.




Caution:• Engine power and airspeed must be monitored when the IAS mode is

engaged, since: Insufficient power at low airspeeds may cause the aircraft to stall, and the autopilot to

disconnect. Although the autopilot should limit the airspeed to 3-5 knots below the aircraft's

maximum operating airspeed Vmo, large power changes at higher airspeeds may cause the aircraft to momentarily exceed Vmo.
