6. An automatic flight control system is fitted with Control Wheel Steering

(CWS):
a. The A/P must be disengaged before the pilot can input manoeuving
commands.
b. Manoeuving commands maybe input by applying normal forces to the
side stick without first disengaged the autopilot.

the automatic flight system control panel FCU, without disengaging
the autopilot.
