Pilot's Guide KFC 275 Ben ing DigitalIntroduction The KFC 275 Flight Control Sys- tem combines complete autopilot and flight director computation functions in a single computer. Its digital flight computer and integrated architecture enable the KFC 275 to determine air- craft control requirements sooner and execute them with greater smooth- ness and accuracy than previous au- topilot systems. The implementation of digital solid state circuitry through- out the Flight Control System provides the pilot with maximum reliability while economizing the system weight and required installation space The KFC 275 is designed to opti- mize passenger and flight crew com- fort, while still providing accurate con- trol response in any flight situation. Wherever possible, autopilot-induced aircraft motions border on the lower limits of human perceptibility, ensur- ing exceptionally smooth flight. Many of the Flight Control System's maxi- mum commandable values, however, are determined for each individual air- craft during the Flight Control System certification process. Consult the KFC 275 Flight Manual Supplement for your aircraft to determine particular operation. Internal safety monitors keep constant track of the KFC 275’s sta- tus and provide signals for automatic shutdown of the autopilot or flight di- rector in the event of a malfunction. In addition to reliability and light weight, the KFC 275 is designed to be easily maintained in the field. Qualified Bendix/King Service Centers are lo- cated around the world to provide as- sistance whenever necessary. The KFC 275 is specially de- signed to interface with three-inch electromechanical instruments. The KFC 275isalso capable of interfacing to many navigation systems, radar altimeters and other peripheral com- ponents.Table of Contents PILOT'S GUIDE Introduction. System Configuration.
