1.0 Introduction
The primary purpose of the System 60-2 Pilot Operating Handbook (POH)
is to provide pilots with step-by-step Functional Preflight and In-Flight Op-
erating Procedures for the installed system.
Notice
This manual should be used in conjunction with an FAA approved autopilot
Airplane Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS), Pilots Operating Handbook
Supplement (POHS) or Supplemental Flight Manual (SFM). Refer to the
specific AFMS, POHS, or SFM for your aircraft specific information and
emergency operating procedures.
If the autopilot is to be used during Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) opera-
tions, we recommend that you develop a thorough understanding of the
autopilot system, its functions, and characteristics in Visual Meteorologi-
cal Conditions (VMC). Accomplish this before undertaking an IFR flight.
