You should be able to find a SENSITIVITY value that is acceptable for both h
holds and turns in smooth air. You may, however, find that in periods of extended
turbulence, a lower SENSITIVITY value must be set.
Step 8h – Verify TRN RT LMT and BANK LIMIT settings during turn(s)
During an AP-commanded turn, verify that the time to complete a turn matches your
expectations give

the bank angle indicated on the EFIS screen does not reach the angle set
must either increase BANK LIMIT or decrease
TRN RT LMT.
At th s

LMT is set to 3º/s, a 90º turn should take about 30 seconds. If this is not the case, the b
required by the target turn rate may exceed the set BANK LIMIT parameter. Ensure that during
