System 55X Autopilot

Product catalog summary

Overview: The System Fifty Five X is a high-performance, two-axis autopilot designed to reduce pilot workload in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) across all flight modes. It is fully IFR-capable, featuring navigation and glide slope intercepts ideal for approaches.

Key Features:

GPS Roll Steering: Provides extremely accurate, hands-off GPS navigation.
Control Wheel Steering: Allows pilots to hand-fly the aircraft and then let the autopilot maintain the existing turn rate and vertical speed.
Hundreds of STCs: Applicable from light singles to piston twins.

Advanced Features:

Case contained, radio stack mount.
Heading preselect & hold.
Altitude hold with optional altitude trim.
Course intercept capability.
NAV mode with dual mode HDG/NAV & HDG/APR.
VOR/LOC/GS/REV/GPS coupling with three gain levels.

Display Screen Functions:

HDG Mode: Enables dual mode intercept for automatic course or localizer tracking.
Control Wheel Steering (CWS): Allows transition from manual to autopilot control.
NAV Mode: Automatically intercepts and tracks enroute NAV signals with automatic gain selection.
GPSS: Integrates autopilot with GPS Navigator for precise navigation.
Trim and Pitch Modes: Includes vertical speed control, altitude hold, and glide slope coupling.

Buttons/Knob Functions:

Mode selector buttons for HDG, NAV, APR, REV, ALT, and VS.
VS knob for digital vertical speed adjustments.

Options:

DG/HSI compatibility.
Single cue flight director interface.
SA-200 Altitude Selector with encoding altimeter.
ST-360 Altitude Selector/Alerter.
Remote annunciator and yaw damper options.

Additional Components: Includes turn coordinator, trim servo, remote annunciator, flight director compatibility, pitch and roll servos, and more.
