SYSTEM 55X AUTOPILOT

1. DESCRIPTION
This section covers those systems and components which use inputs to the system to automatically con-
trol the flight path of the aircraft through adjustment to the pitch/roll axis or wing lift characteristics and pro-
vide visual cues for flight path guidance. This includes the System 55X Autopilot system.
The S-TEC System 55X is a dual axis autopilot system that provides roll stability, heading hold, NAV/GPS
tracking, altitude hold, vertical speed selection, automatic glideslope capture, and automatic 45° intercept
to desired flight path capabilities controlled via the roll-trim cartridge and pitch servo. (See Figure 22-111)
The system components consist of a Flight Guidance Programmer/Computer, Altitude Selector/Alerter,
Altitude Transducer, Turn Coordinator, and HSI/PFD/GIA2. The operating controls for the autopilot are
located on the Flight Guidance Programmer/Computer.
Through panel mounted switches and the vertical speed knob, the Flight Guidance Programmer/Computer
serves the function of converting operator commands to logic signals for the roll and pitch computer func-
tions. The roll computer receives signal inputs from the Turn Coordinator and HSI/PFD/GIA2 to compute
roll commands for stabilization, turns, radio intercepts, heading and tracking. The pitch computer receives
signal inputs from the Altitude Transducer, accelerometer, glideslope deviations, and Altitude Selector/
Alerter.

The Flight Director is a visual reference displayed on the Primary Flight Display (PFD) to simplify flight by
instrument navigation with or without the autopilot coupled. This feature requires System 55X Autopilot and
PFD. The Flight Director display consists of a wedged Reference Symbol, indicating airplane attitude, and
inverted-wedge Command Bars, indicating the recommended course attitude. To maintain selected course
while in manual flight mode, the pilot maneuvers the airplane so the top of the Reference Symbol fits into
the notch of the Command Bars.
The autopilot generates Flight Director Command Bars from modes selected on the Autopilot Computer,
including HDG (Heading), NAV (VOR, LOC, or GPS), GPSS (GPS Steering), ALT (Altitude Hold), GS
(Glideslope), and VS (Vertical Speed). The system consists of two lighted push buttons mounted on the
upper LH instrument panel for uncoupling and recoupling the autopilot, and wiring harnesses for System
55X Autopilot and PFD communication.
Serials w/ Avidyne Avionics: The S-TEC System 55X is powered by 28 VDC through the 5-amp AUTOPI-
LOT circuit breaker on the Essential Avionics Bus.
Serials w/ Perspective Avionics: The S-TEC System 55X is powered by 28 VDC through the 5-amp KEY-
PADS / AP CTRL circuit breaker on the Essential Avionics Bus.
For additional information on the autopilot system integration, see the S-TEC System 55X Autopilot Pilot’s
Operating Handbook. (Refer to 05-10)

3. MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
A. Flight Guidance Programmer/Computer (See Figure 22-112)
(1) Removal - Flight Guidance Programmer/Computer
(a) Set BAT 1, BAT 2, and AVIONICS master switches to OFF positions.
(b) Pull AUTOPILOT circuit breaker.
(c) Insert hex wrench into front panel bolt hole and engage locking screw.
(d) Turn locking screw counter-clockwise to loosen locking cam. Cam will move the trans-
ceiver unit out 1/4” and disengage from the electrical connectors.
(e) Pull Flight Guidance Programmer/Computer from mounting tray
(2) Installation - Flight Guidance Programmer/Computer
(a) With light to medium pressure, push Guidance Programmer/Computer into mounting tray
to engage electrical connectors.
(b) Insert hex wrench into front panel bolt hole and engage locking screw.
(c) Turn locking screw clockwise to tighten locking cam.
(d) Reset AUTOPILOT circuit breaker.
(e) Perform the following Functional Test whenever the original Flight Guidance Programmer/
Computer is replaced with a different Flight Guidance Programmer/Computer:
1 Perform Functional Test - Flight Guidance Programmer/Computer. (Refer to 22-11)
(3) Functional Test - Flight Guidance Programmer/Computer
(a) Serials 22-equipped with HSI only; Ensure Flight Guidance Programmer/Computer is con-
figured as a NSD-360 compatible unit.
(b) Serials 22-equipped with PFD only; Ensure Flight Guidance Programmer/Computer is
configured as a KCS-55 compatible unit.

Note: The following steps are to be performed in-flight in VFR smooth air.

(c) Serials 22-equipped with PFD and Serials 22-equipped with HSI: While NAV (without
GPSS) mode is engaged on the System 55X, using a GNS-430 GPS source, insert an
appropriately sized screwdriver into the slotted hole to perform alignment procedures in
accordance with the STEC installation instructions.

Note: The following steps are required for airplanes equipped with PFD only.

(d) Engage the 55x in HDG mode and allow aircraft to “settle on heading bug”. If heading bug
agrees with aircraft heading, the system is calibrated. Otherwise, complete the remaining
calibration steps.
(e) Turn both GNS-430 units off.
(f) Enter the setup mode on the PFD by simultaneously pressing and holding L1 and L3 line
select keys until the count down timer in the lower left corner of the display indicates zero
seconds.
(g) Turn both GNS-430's units back on.
(h) Press R3 line select key “Perform A/P Cal”.
(i) Press L1 line select key "Sync HDG”. Autopilot should immediately command aircraft to
turn toward heading bug.
(j) Press L4 line select key “Back to PFD”.
(k) Verify HDG mode accurately tracks heading bug. If autopilot does not track heading bug
correctly, repeat previous calibration steps.
(l) Engage NAV (without GPSS) mode on autopilot.
(m) Enter flight plan or waypoint and verify NAV mode accurately tracks flight plan. If autopilot
does not track NAV mode correctly, repeat previous calibration steps.

ing switch to instrument panel are too tight for cam engagement.

(b) Slide seals, spacers, and mounting sleeve onto switch assembly. Repeat for other switch
assembly.
(c) Position switches so that switch flanges are aligned with each other and installation area.
