Note: There is a separate AF-Pilot Installation Manual found on the AFS website.
Current AP Mode
Autopilot Control
For the autopilot to follow the EFIS commands you will need an autopilot that is capable of GPSS and
GPSV ARINC steering commands. You will also need to have the optional AF-ARINC module connected
to the EFIS and properly configured.
The following Autopilots will work with the EFIS:
ADVANCED Pilot
TruTrak Digiflight II VSGV
TruTrak Sorcerer
Trio Pro Pilot
The autopilot and flight director are very closely connected and are controlled from the same source. If
your aircraft has our ADVANCED Pilot autopilot it supports GPSS (GPS steering) and GPSV (GPS
vertical steering) and the aircraft should closely follow the flight director when the autopilot is in EFIS
Mode.
ADVANCED Pilot Autopilot Controls
The AF-Pilot Autopilot is manufactured by TruTrak, it is very similar to the DigiFlight II VSGV and has all
of the same wiring, configuration, and setup. You must have the Primary Serial Input Pin on the AP
connected to your GPS along with the ARINC A and B lines connected to the AF-ARINC module. The
autopilot should be installed in accordance with the AF-Pilot Installation Manual.
Your AF-Pilot or Digiflight II Autopilot must have the latest software that accepts vertical speed
commands.
