Envelope Protection/Alerting The S-TEC 5000 greatly reduces the chance for inadvertent stalls, over-speeds, or excessive banking due to autopilot inputs. If the aircraft approaches stall while the S-TEC 5000 is engaged, the autopilot will automatically reduce the maximum bank and vertical speed to maintain safe flight. An annunciated alert will notify the pilot. In situations involving overspeed or excessive banking, similar corrections and warnings are implemented to mitigate potentially hazardous maneuvers. The S-TEC 5000 achieves this added level of safety while minimizing the impact these...
