AUTOFLIGHT
GENERAL
• The FGS provides automatic flight control operations. It is part of the avionics sys-tem installation in the airplane. For aircraft
equipped with the Collins Pro Line 21 avionics system, the FGS system is a Collins FGS-3000 system.
• The system provides autopilot/yaw damper, flight director, automatic pitch trim, and Mach trim operations.
• The FGS generates flight director steering commands and mode messages related to the currently active lateral and vertical flight guidance modes.
• Two flight guidance channels are available. Both primary flight displays (PFDs) show flight director steering commands from the coupled side, except
when GA and APPR. modes are active. In the GA and APPR modes each flight guidance computer (FGC) provides independent guidance to its on-side
PFD.
• The CPL (couple) switch on the FGP is used to select the left or the right side flight guidance channel.
• The SVOQ-3000 servos precisely move the airplane elevator, aileron, and rudder control surfaces in response to commands from the autopilot.
• The PFDs display FGS flight director steering commands and FGS mode data.
• For autopilot operation, one of the FGCs is selected (coupled) as the computer to provide steering inputs to the autopilot functions.
• Both FGCs use this input to independently calculate command outputs and together apply redundancy monitored servo drive to the aileron and
elevator servos so the airplane physically tracks the flight director steering commands.
• The autopilot system can be operated with no flight director steering inputs, in modes call pitch and roll hold.
• The FGC yaw damper function applies servo drive inputs to the rudder servo for Dutch roll damping and turn coordination.
• The FGCs also generate pitch trim arm and command signals by monitoring the elevator servo torque and running the elevator trim servo to neutralize
the load on the elevators.
• The Mach trim function trims the elevator at airspeeds greater than 0.73 Mach with the autopilot not engaged.
Primary Servos
• The primary servos physically position the air-plane control surfaces in response to commands from the FGCs.
• The servo assembly consists of the SVO-3000 servo on the SMT-65 servo mount.
• The servo mount consists of a capstan drum with a slip clutch to allow manual override of the servo if mechanically locked.
• Each FGC provides half the motor voltage and, by adjusting the voltage levels with respect to one another, precise control of motor speed and torque
can be achieved. The dual tach generator provides rate feedback signals to each FGC to allow monitoring of servo response to commands.
• The servos are connected to the appropriate control surfaces by cables. The servos are connected one each to the aileron control system, the rudder
control system, and the elevator control system to control the airplane in the roll, yaw, and pitch axis.
TRIM SERVO
• The 334D-6A trim servo drives the elevator trim tab in response to commands from the FGCs during automatic trim operations and Mach trim
operations.
AILERON SERVO
• The aileron servo is under the copilot seat.
• Control cables connect from the servo capstan/drum to the aileron pulley
drum under the right flight deck floor. The drum has a split pulley assembly.
• Tension adjustment bolts for each half of the split pulley adjusts the servo cable tension.
ELEVATOR SERVO
• The elevator servo is in the aft fuselage just to the right side of the aft fuselage access door.
• Control cables connect from the servo capstan/drum to the autopilot drum on the circular and elliptical pulley, which is forward of the servo.
• Turnbuckles connecting the control cables adjust cable tension.
RUDDER SERVO
• The rudder servo is in the tail cone aft of the rudder quadrant.
• Control cables connect from the servo capstan/drum to the rudder quadrant.
• Cable tension is adjusted with the threaded ends of the servo cable where they attach to the rudder quadrant.
AP DISC Button
• The AP DISC button is on the outboard horn of each control wheel. Push the button to disengage the autopilot and yaw damper.
• Push the button again to cancel the flashing and aural disengage warnings.
SYNC Button
The SYNC button is on the inboard horn of each control wheel. On the uncoupled side, push the SYNC button to synchronize the flight director vertical and
lateral references to those currently being flown.
The SYNC button does not function when the autopilot is engaged.
GA Buttons
• There are two GA buttons on the aircraft both operate the same.
• Push either button to disengage the autopilot (but not the yaw damper) and clear all of the flight guidance modes.
• If the airplane is on the ground when GA is selected, the flight di-rector generates fixed pitch-up, wings level command until GA to cancelled or until GA is
reselected when in the air.
• If the airplane is in the air when GA is selected, the flight director generates pitch-up, heading hold commands until GA is cancelled.
• In addition, when the required conditions are met, it provides 28VDC to the autopilot servo engage clutches.
FD Button
• Two FD buttons are on the FGP to turn on and off the flight director displays when the autopilot is not engaged.
• The pilot (No. 1) button applies to the No. 1 (PFD) flight director; the copilot is the No. 2 (PFD) flight director.
• At power-up, both flight directors are off. The selected flight director automatically comes on when the autopilot is engaged or when a vertical or
lateral mode is selected.
• Push either FD button to alternately turn the related flight director on and off. The FD button of a coupled flight director is not functional.

AUTO FLIGHT TRAINING MANUAL (B1/B2)
• The ALT select knob, SPEED knob, and vertical speed/pitch wheel are also part of the vertical mode operation.
• Lateral flight director mode controls include:
• NAV
• HDG
• APPR
• 1/2 BANK
• The HOG knob and CRS knobs are also part of the lateral mode controls. Roll is also a lateral mode.
• The GA button is a lateral and vertical mode.
ALT Button
• The ALT button alternately selects or deselects the altitude hold mode. When selected, ALTS annunciates on the PFDs. The FGC generates commands
to maintain the pressure altitude that exists when ALT mode is selected.
• When not engaged, push the remote SYNC button to synchronize the altitude reference to the current altitude. The altitude hold mode automatically
selects if the preselect altitude setting (ALT knob) is changed while in the altitude preselect track mode.
VS Button
• The VS button alternately selects or deselects the vertical speed mode.
• VS and the vertical speed reference value annunciate on the PFD. An up arrow also annunciates for positive VS a down arrow annunciates for negative
VS.
• The FGC generates commands to maintain the vertical speed (reference), which exists when the VS mode is selected.
VNAV Button
• The VNAV button alternately arms or clears the vertical navigation mode. VNAV annunciates on the PFDs.
• The FMC determines the VNAV capture point. After capture (VNAV annunciates in green), the FMC applies the vertical steering commands to the FGC.
• The VNAV mode automatically cancels when the vertical waypoint is reached.
FLC Button
• The FLC ( flight level change) button captures and tracks an IAS or Mach reference airspeed.
• The mode recognizes the need to climb or descend to bring the airplane to the preselected altitude or VNAV altitude depending on which is active and
the airplane ability (i.e., thrust level) to accomplish the maneuver. Turn the SPEED knob on the FGP to adjust the airspeed reference. It is synchronized
by the FGC or adjusted by the FMS when in the VNAV modes.
VS/PITCH WHEEL
• The VS/pitch wheel changes the vertical reference value used by the vertical speed and pitch modes. This wheel is not functional
when glideslope is captured.
• In the VS mode, turning this wheel changes the vertical speed reference value. When not in the VS mode, turning the wheel
applies a pitch "take-command" function.
• When the pitch mode is selected, any active vertical mode ( except GS capture) clears. Turn the wheel to change the pitch
reference value. Move the wheel for ward to command pitch down or backward to command pitch up.
NAV Button
• The NAV button alternately selects or deselects the navigation mode. The FGC/FMC generates lateral commands to fly the active
navigation course. The navigation source is selected from the PFD NAV SOURCE menu.
• The (active course) NAV identifier annunciates on the PFD (FMS, VOR I, VOR 2, etc.).
• The NAY mode arms when the button is pushed and automatically captures when the capture conditions are met. Before
capture, the system operates in a heading select sub mode.
• If the FMS is the active NAV source, the FMC determines the capture point. After capture, the FMS applies lateral bank
commands to the FGC. [f the FMS is not the active NAV source, the FGC does an all-angle adaptive capture. After capture, the
FGC generates commands to maintain the NAV course. Use the CRS knob to change the course.
HDG Button
• The HDG button alternately selects or deselects the heading mode. HDG annunciates on the PFD. The FGC generates commands
to capture and maintain the selected heading. This value is marked on the PFDs and multi function displays (MFDs) by a heading
bug and can be changed by the HDG knob.
HDG Knob
• The HOG knob changes the selected heading shown on the PFDs and MFDs. It simultaneously controls the heading bug on both
the pilot and copilot displays. Turn the HOG knob clockwise to increase the selected heading angle. Push the (center) PUSH SYNC
button to synchronize the heading bug to the current airplane heading as read under the lubber line. This switch synchronizes
the heading bug on the pilot (No. 2) display.
APPR Button
• The APPR button alternately selects or deselects the approach mode. The type of approach is determined by the active
navigation source and annunciates on the PFD (APPR LNV, APPR VOR 1<APPR LOC 2, etc.).
• The APPR mode arms when the button is pushed and automatically captures when the capture conditions are met. Before
capture, the system operates in a heading select submode.
• In an FMS approach, the FMC computer deter mines the capture point. After capture, the FMS applies lateral bank commands to
the FGC. In a non-FMS approach, the FGC does an all angle adaptive capture. The FGC arms for the glideslope capture (if GS is
valid) after a front course localizer capture. After the glideslope capture the FGC generates commands to maintain flight on the
glide path.
• Push the (center) IAS/MACH switch to select the Mach mode from the IAS (indicated air speed) mode or to select the IAS mode
from the Mach mode. Refer to the SPEED button description.
CPL Button
• The CPL buttons elect which flight guidance channel, left or right, supplies attitude commands to the autopilot. Except when in
the GA and APPR mode, where guidance is independent, the FGP CPL switch also controls which channel supplies steering
commands to the PFDs. When the right guidance is selected, the FGS is considered transferred.
• The selected FGC provides the servos. Both FGCs provide the actual servo drive. At each power-up, on the ground or in the air,
the pilot (No. 1) flight guidance channel is coupled. An arrow pointing to the coupled side is shown continuously in the FGS mode
field on the PFD.
FGS OPERATION
• Each FGC generates pitch and roll flight director commands. The pilot (No. 1) flight director commands are computed in the left
FGC with sensor data from the various left side sensors. The copilot (No. 2) flight director commands are computed in the right
FGC with sensor data from the various right side sensors. Both FGCs work together to provide redundant computations as the
dual FGCs make sure the copilot flight guidance functions are isolated.
• Only one set of computations can be used in the flight deck at any time.
• Automatic pitch trim is given by the FGCs, when the FGS is engaged. The FGS gives commands to drive the airplane pitch trim
system to relieve elevator servo forces. Automatic pitch trim is disabled if an automatic pitch trim fault is sensed. A fault
detected after FGS engagement does not disengage the FGS. A fault detected before FGS engagement stops the engagement of
the FGS. A red boxed TRIM annunciates on the PFD to indicates a failure.
• When the FGS is disengaged, the Mach trim function gives stability augmentation when in the active Mach trim region. The
FGCs, in conjunction with the ADCs and the horizontal stabilizer motor and its controller, supply the Mach trim function. Mach
trim is automatically enabled in the Mach trim region if no failures have been detected in the automatic pitch trim system. If
there is a Mach trim failure, an amber MACH TRIM FAIL annunciator shows on the master warning system (MWS) panel.
• Push the YD button on the FGP to activate the yaw damper Engage the yaw damper to couple the yaw damper commands to the
rudder (yaw) servo.
• There is no PFD annunciation to show that the yaw damper is engaged. When the yaw damper is disengaged, a flashing amber
YD shows on the PFD. If the disengagement is manually induced, the flashing amber YD changes to steady white after 2 seconds.
If the disengagement is automatically induced, the flashing amber YD changes to a steady white after 5 seconds.
• The circuit breakers listed below protect the FGS system.
DIAGNOSTICS
• The FGS has built-in self-diagnostics. Nearly all flight control functions and malfunctions can be monitored and diagnosed
through the built in diagnostics. The FGS diagnostics are in volatile memory, which means when electrical power is removed all
data is lost. However, the primary fault diagnostic information is sent to the maintenance diagnostic computer to allow retrieval
of faults that have occurred in flight.
• The trim servo speed varies based upon the flap handle position. The trim servo controller (voltage regulator) varies the voltage
to the trim servo to adjust the speed of the servo. With the flap handle up, voltage to the servo power amps is approximately 14
VDC for low speed operation. With the flap handle selected to 15 ° or greater, the voltage to the servo power amps is increased
to approximately 18 VDC for a higher speed of trim operation.

OPERATION
Autopilot Electric Trim
• Autopilot electric trimming is available and active whenever the autopilot is engaged.
• The FGCs monitor the load (torque) on the elevator servo and then generate trim commands to drive the trim servo to unload
the elevator servo. The tach generator provides a trim rate signal to the FGCs when the trim servo runs.
• The FGCs each independently monitor the elevator servo load and each computer provides one half of the trim drive. One
computer generates an arm output (28 VDC steady) either up or down as required.
• The other computer generates the up or down command output (pulsing ground). Each of these outputs activate the power
amps in the servo to drive the motor in the required direction.
• To engage the trim servo clutch, each FGC energizes an internal trim engage relay. The two re lays are connected in series to
direct 28 VDC to the trim servo clutch and engage it. Both computers function together providing the arm and command outputs
in the same direction along with the clutch voltage to run the trim servo.
• The Mach speed input is used to identify when to engage Mach trim and determine how much trim movement to apply based
on Mach speed. The trim tab position is monitored to determine how much Mach trim tab movement has been applied for
feedback, and to allow an equal amount of tab movement be removed as the air plane slows down. The manual trim switches or
trim wheel inputs are monitored to disengage Mach trim operations and allow manual trimming to occur (Figure 22-11). Mach
trim automatically reengages after manual trimming.
