Safety Features
Safety Features
Safety is Piper’s foremost priority as illustrated by the extraordinary safety features available across the Piper product line, and trainers are no exception. The Archer® TX is designed specifically for efficient, comfortable and safe single-engine flight training. The LX is outfitted with the latest Garmin G1000® NXi avionics and the most thoughtful, intuitive and inspired engineering in the general aviation industry.
Optional Enhanced Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS – additional equipment required)
- Electronic Stability Protection (ESP): Keeping you safe in stable flight when flying your Archer® TX, the ESP system functions independently of the GFC700 autopilot and applies control force toward stable flight whenever pitch or roll deviations exceed recommend limits, or when overspeed or underspeed conditions are about to occur. ESP will also automatically engage the GFC700 autopilot if exceedences are sustained too long.
- Automatic Level Mode (Blue Button): If you ever find yourself experiencing spatial disorientation in your Archer® TX, just push the blue Automatic Level Mode button and the GFC700 autopilot will engage and return your aircraft to straight-and-level flight.
- Underspeed Protection (USP): Your Archer® TX will recognize when underspeed conditions are about to cause an inadvertent stall and make the appropriate adjustments to the controls to rectify the situation.
- Coupled Go-Around: Your workload is simplified when flying approaches and conducting a go-around in your Archer® TX because you can keep the autopilot engaged during a coupled go-around and the aircraft will maintain a speed above stall warning, automatically adjusting pitch attitude as required.
