Questions about CAS

[Pineapple Pete]

Greetings,

While reading through the AFM I found a reference to the Aileron Rudder Interface. I assume this functions similar to a yaw damper. On a recent test flight I rolled right and left with no rudder and while watching the turn and slip indicator, the airplane appeared to stay in a somewhat coordinates turn.

I then engaged CAS Yaw to see if the airplane behaved any differently. I could tell no discernable difference. These turns were all made at 5000 feet by the way.

Does any one have thoughts on when and how to use the CAS features?

Thanks

You never turn off CAS. CAS off on any channel is an emergency.

Then it follows that CAS is always on and the function of L Cntl 1,2, and 3 is to turn CAS off? Just trying to get my arms around the employment of these keys. Thanks.

That is correct. CAS should be on by default. You don't touch CAS unless you have a reason to, and about the only reason for it is CAS going wonky or very peculiar flight testing :)
