Autopilot limits (GFC 500 supplement)
The GFC 500 supplement applies to the A36TC. The pilot must sit in the left seat with the belt fastened. The autopilot and yaw damper are not for takeoff or landing. Disengage below 800 ft AGL, or below 200 ft AGL on approach. It is approved for Category 1 precision and non-precision approaches only. The preflight test must pass before use.
Maintenance manual and records
The listed manual covers the V35B, F33A, F33C, A36, A36TC and B36TC and runs to 742 pages. Topics include inspection periods, pilot preventive maintenance, landing gear manual extension, the induction system icing, oxygen and fuel systems, and weight and balance with the equipment list. Ask for the full manual and current revision with the airplane.
Electrical system access
In the A36 example, the battery box and electrical power sit on the right-hand firewall, and the engine compartment is easy to reach. The fuse block shows 24+ volts straight from the battery. A maintenance-charger plug is logged as a minor alteration. Your A36TC may differ, so confirm the layout and any logbook entry.

Safety notes
- Pitch trim runaway: grip the wheel, hold AP DISC / TRIM INT, expect high elevator forces, pull the autopilot breaker, then release the button.
- Do not use the autopilot or yaw damper during takeoff and landing. Do not overpower the autopilot in flight, because out-of-trim forces result.
- Pulling the autopilot breaker also disables the yaw damper and ESP. Maximum fuel imbalance with the autopilot engaged is 15 gallons.
