OVERVIEW
Once engaged, ESP force will be applied between 30° and 75°, as illustrated in Figure 8-131. The force
increases as roll attitude increases and decreases as roll attitude decreases. The applied force is intended to
encourage pilot input that returns the airplane to a more normal roll attitude. As roll attitude decreases, ESP
will disengage at 30°.

Figure 8-132 Roll Attitude Autopilot Engagement Limit (ESP Engaged)
ESP engages at 17.5° nose-up and 15.5° nose-down. Once ESP is engaged, it will apply opposing force
between 17.5° and 50° nose-up and between 15.5° and 50° nose-down, as indicated in Figure 8-133. Maximum
opposing force is applied between 22.5° and 50° nose-up and between 20.5° and 50° nose-down.
