b. change mechanical energy to electrical energy
c. move the control surface as commanded - ✔✔c. move control surface as commanded
which channel of an autopilot changes in pitch attitude of an aircraft?
a. elevator
b. aileron
c. rudder - ✔✔a. elevator

counteracted with:
a. flight director system
b. aileron damper system
c. yaw damper system - ✔✔c. yaw damper system
when operationally checking an autopilot system on the ground, after the aircrafts main power
has been switched on, the autopilot should be engaged:
a. only after the gyros come up to speed and the amplifier warms up
b. whenever the operator desires
c. for only a few minutes at a time - ✔✔a. only after the gyros come up to speed and the
