	HowStuffWorks "How Autopilot Works"
		Today, autopilots are sophisticated systems that perform the same duties as a highly trained pilot.
		The autopilot computer removes the command when the position sensor on the wing detects that the wings are once again level.
		To override the autopilot, a crew member simply has to disengage the system, either by flipping a power switch or, if that doesn't work, by pulling the autopilot circuit breaker.

	Autopilot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most people understand an autopilot to refer specifically to aircraft, but autopilots for boats and ships are called by the same name and serve the same purpose.
		The autopilot is designed to perform some of the tasks of the pilot.
		Although autopilots handle new or dangerous situations inflexibly, they generally fly an aircraft with a lower fuel-consumption than all but a few of the best pilots.

	The 400BNavomatic Autopilot System (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This resistor controls actuator speed during autopilot operation and is switched out of the circuit during when the autopilot is not on.
		When the 400B autopilot is not active and the pilot’s electric trim switch is not being used, the clutch solenoid is de-energized.
		What is happening is the autopilot for whatever reason is not running the trim tab; the autopilot is trimming the aircraft using the pitch (horizontal stabilizer) only; thus when you disengage the system the pitch servo lets go and the aircraft goes where it was trimmed to go and who knows where that may be.

	Autopilot Operation Part Three
		For understanding the autopilot, it is important to know the differences between autopilots that are deviation-based, and those that are roll steering capable.Or, between those receiving analog signals and those using digital (or both) signals to direct their actions.
		Analog autopilots still dominate the market, but there are now digital autopilots that don’t even look at the HSI information to tell the servos how to bank, and digital pitch control is coming.
		This overview of autopilots is prompted by the new vertical guidance GPS approaches, and to clarify autopilot use for tracking GPS courses.

	GPS Autopilot - Why do it? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		With GPS input, the autopilot will stay on the cross track, or the line between the starting point of the trip and the final waypoint of the trip.
		The GPS and autopilot essentially have a one-way conversation in which the GPS "talks" and the autopilot "listens." The GPS sends an electronic "sentence" down a two-wire interface to the autopilot.
		Some sophisticated autopilots will have "automatic waypoint sequencing," which allows the autopilot to automatically steer the next leg of the route once it reaches a waypoint.

		The autopilots roll input from the horizon could cause the aircraft to continue to roll constantly and under worst conditions roll the aircraft upside down; not a good thing in IFR conditions.
		In all of the autopilots we discussed prior, the horizon was a vacuum driven indicator.
		Because the autopilot computer is part of the turn coordinator, the autopilot will fail but still remain engaged until the pilot disengages the unit.
