Acceleration Limiter Setting on a GHP Autopilot

The acceleration limiter setting is a safety feature used by the Course Computer Unit (CCU). If the CCU senses a quick or sudden turn, it will send a signal to stop initiating the turn. This setting limits the aggressiveness of autopilot-controlled turns. You can adjust this within the Dealer Mode setup menu.
