(f) Select the HDG mode on the MSP-85. Then the HDG indicator light comes on
and the HDG (green) is displayed on the EADI. Make sure that the EHSI course
pointer and the deviation bar points to the VOR direction.
(g) Monitor the location of the EHSI course pointer. Set the DG (directional gyro) of
the AHS switch panel in the DG mode. Turn the compass dial to “R” and “L” with
the deflection switch on the AHS switch panel. Do this, until the EHSI course
pointer points at 20° on the right side of the heading line. Adjust the EHSI
heading bug to a location below the heading line.
(h) Adjust the course pointer of the EHSI to the right side for 20° again (the course
pointer points to 40° right of the lubber line). Select the NAV mode on the
MSP-85. Make sure that the EADI command bar points ZERO. The deviation
bar of the EHSI moves towards the left side to the maximum range. The HDG
light of the MSP-85 goes off, the NAV light of the MSP-85 comes on. The HDG
(green) and the VOR1 (white) are displayed on the EADI at the same time.
(i) The course knob of EHSI slowly turns counterclockwise until the deviation bar
returns to the center. The HDG (green) and the VOR1 or the VOR2 (white)
disappear and that the VOR1 or the VOR2 is displayed on the EADI when the
deviation bar is between the two points and the center.
(j) Adjust the EHSI course pointer to move the EHSI deviation bar to the center.
Turn the compass dial to move the course pointer below the lubber line. When
the aircraft roll attitude is horizontal, the command bar slowly moves to
horizontal.
(k) Engage the DME. Turn the course pointer to 360°. When the DME is less than 2
mile, the EADI command bar moves a little or stays static.
(l) Select the HDG and the ALT modes on the MSP-85. The HDG and the ALT
indicator lights on MSP-85 come on. The HDG (green) and the ALT (green) are
displayed on the EADI. Set the heading cursor and the course pointer below of
the lubber line. Tune the VIR receiver to the frequency of the local instrument
landing system. Disengage the radio altimeter.

STATIC TEST state. Make sure that the LRN1 (green) is displayed on the
EADI. Engage the autopilot. Push the "ROLL 20 DEG R →” key on the
UNS display. Make sure that the EADI command bar turns right. Make sure
that the control wheel turns right until it stops. Push the "ROLL 20 DEG L
→” key on the UNS display. Make sure that the EADI command bar turns
left. Make sure that the control wheel turns left until it stops.
(3) Vertical mode
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE ALTITUDE PRE-SELECTOR DOES NOT
SELECT THE ALTITUDE OF THE AIRCRAFT OTHERWISE THE
VERTICAL MODE SELECTION WILL BE INHIBITED.
(a) Connect the air data tester to the air data system. Set 200 Kn on the ASI and a
climb rate of +2000 ft/min on the TVI (VSI, if there is a rate-of-climb meter) with
the air data tester.
(b) Engage the autopilot. Do not select each lateral mode and the vertical mode.
The VS mode must be automatically selected. The vertical speed reference on
the EADI must agree with the vertical speed indication (if there is a rate-of-climb
meter installed, the vertical speed cursor on the VSI must conform to the vertical
speed indication). The EADI command bar points ZERO pitch command.
(c) Use the tester to simulate the state of the stop climb. Select the SPEED mode
on the MSP-85. Make sure that the SPEED indicator light comes on, the ASI
airspeed cursor agrees with the pointer.
(d) Select the ALT mode on the MSP-85. The SPEED indicator light on the MSP-85
goes off (it indicates that this mode is cancelled), and the ALT indicator light
comes on. ALT (green) is displayed on the EADI. The EADI command bar points
to the zero pitch command.
(e) Turn the BARO knob on the ALT-85A altimeter indicator to change the altimeter
display to appreciably higher or lower than pre-selected altitude. The command
bar slowly pitches down if the altitude indication is appreciably higher than
pre-selected altitude, and that pitches up if the altitude indication is lightly lower
than pre-selected altitude. Set the BARO knob to 1013 mbar (29.92 inHg).
(f) Set the altitude to 5000 ft ± 100 ft. Select the CLIMB mode on the MSP-85. The
CLIMB indicator light on the MSP-85 comes on and the CLM 140 is displayed on
the EADI. Push the PERFORM SELECT button to make the CLM150H is
displayed on the EADI. The ASI airspeed cursor changes from 140 kn to 150 kn.
(g) Change the airspeed with the air data tester to change the ASI indication to
appreciably higher or lower than the value pointed by the airspeed cursor. If the
airspeed is appreciably higher than the value pointed by the airspeed cursor, the
command bar pitches up. If the air speed is appreciably lower than the value
pointed by the airspeed cursor, the command bar stops at the aircraft symbol
(airspeed 150 kn).
(h) Push the PERFORM SELECT button for the second time. The CLM140 is
displayed on the EADI. The airspeed cursor changes from 150 kn to 140 kn.

roll holding mode; if vertical modes are no selected, the system operates in pitch
holding or vertical speed holding modes.
(a) HDG mode
Select the HDG mode. The command bar on the EADI is displayed and directs
the aircraft to the heading indicated by heading cursor. Control and limit the AP
command of roll to 27° and the maximum limitation of the roll speed to 4°/s.
(b) 1/2 BANK mode
The half bank mode reduces the roll order limitation to 12.5°, which can be used
for all roll modes except approach mode (APPR) capture or any LOC capture
modes.
(c) NAV mode
Push the navigation (NAV) mode button to select the navigation mode. The
system operates in the navigation mode selected and displayed by EFIS. The
AP always flies in the current (main) course shown on EFIS. Press the NAV
button and the navigation mode is in preparation. When the navigation data
source is valid and meets the capture conditions, the navigation mode will be
captured. Before capture, the navigation system is in the auxiliary mode of the
heading select, and the system operates according to the heading displayed on
the EHSI. The system flies according to the digital optimization control law and
provides the omni-bearing self adaptive capture (including true airspeed
compensation at capture point). It sends flight commands after capturing to
keep on the navigation course.
(d) Approach Mode (APPR)
PUSH the approach (APPR) mode button to select the approach mode, which is
similar to the navigation mode. When the data of the instrument landing system
is selected and displayed by EFIS, the system prepares to glide slope (GS) after
heading captured. When glide slope is captured, the vertical mode will be
canceled. The system sends the glide slope command and hold in the glide
slope course. The radio altitude messages are used to decide the control law
increment of LOC and GS. When VOR approach mode and back course mode
are used, the GS is suppressed. When the system operates in the back course
mode, the control law of back course is used to hold the system in the back LOC
course.
(e) ALT mode
Turn the ALT tuning knob on the course heading select panel, if the AP is
engaged or only the lateral mode is valid during the flight directing status, the
system will prepare altitude pre-select mode automatically with the exception of
glide slope capture. When the flight path goes through the set altitude, the ALT
will be captured. The capture point is the function of the altitude rate and the
altitude deviation (relative to the pre-selected altitude). When ALT is captured,
the previous selected vertical mode is canceled, and sends the flight command
of tracking the selected altitude to the aircraft.
During the capture (not tracking) of the pre-selected altitude, any change of the
pre-selected value will cause the system to operate in basic vertical speed
holding mode and make preparation for another altitude pre-select. During the
tracking (the system operates in the altitude holding mode) of altitude pre-select,
