Q

Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS)

A

The AFCS is approved for autopilot approaches to CAT 1 limits only.
APP mode, autopilot engaged approaches, is approved for:
* Flap 0 (minimum altitude 1000 ft AGL)
* Flap 5, 10, 15 and 35
Other autopilot limitations are as follows:
* The autopilot must be disengaged in severe icing conditions
* During autopilot operation, the pilot flying must be seated at the controls with safety and shoulder harness fastened.
* Use of VOR without associated DME is not permitted in APP mode
* After takeoff or go-around, the minimum height for autopilot engagement is 1000 feet AGL
* On approach (precision or non-precision), the autopilot must be disengaged at or above 200 ft above runway elevation
* Flight in conditions of severe atmospheric turbulence with the autopilot engaged is prohibited
* An autopilot approach must not be commenced or continued with an inoperative
engine.
NOTE
The autopilot must be disengaged at or above 1,000 ft AGL
* Autopilot and flight director only approaches are approved for glideslope angle of 2.5° to a maximum of 4 degrees
* Autopilot approaches have been demonstrated in crosswind components up to 18 knots. This is not considered limiting.
