Cirrus SR2x

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
1) Ensure that GPS is the selected navigation source (use the CDI Softkey to cycle through navigation sources if
necessary).
2) Ensure a LOC/ILS approach is loaded into the active flight plan.
3) Ensure the corresponding LOC frequency is tuned.
4) Press the APR Key.
If the following occurs, the flight director reverts to Roll Hold Mode (wings rolled level):
• Approach Mode is active and a Vectors-To-Final is activated
• Approach Mode is active and Navigation source is manually switched
• During a LOC/ILS approach, GPS Navigation Mode is active and the FAF is crossed after the automatic
navigation source switch from GPS to LOC
If the navigation source is VOR or localizer, or OBS Mode has been enabled when using GPS, the Selected
Course is controlled using the CRS Knob.
LEVEL MODE
Level Mode is coupled pitch and roll modes and is annunciated as both the vertical and lateral modes when
active. Pressing the LVL Key engages the autopilot (if the autopilot is disengaged) in level vertical and lateral
modes. Level Mode does not track altitude or heading. When the LVL Key is pressed all armed and active
modes are cancelled and the autopilot and flight director revert to LVL mode for pitch and roll (Figure 7-26).
While in level mode, all other modes are available by pressing the corresponding button.
