LSAS disengagement

Featured Replies

I'm still fascinated by the complexity of the MD-11 and still in the process of discovering all the secret it has in its bag of surprises.So, I have two questions about LSAS:1.I remember to have read in this forum that during manual flight, LSAS can be temporarily disengaged by pressing and holding the AP OFF button. Is this correct? I didn't find anything about that in the manuals (I'm not good in searching :(), can someone please provide me with a reference to the source of this information?2.In what situations would one disengage LSAS at all (I don't mean emergencies)?

I can't help with number one, I do not recall that feature but neither do I have very good recall. As for normal procedures you would never disengage LSAS, it is there for some very good control stability reasons.

Have you read the Systems manual, FLT.10.10?
