Which cyclic switch is used to turn off the backup SAS?

• A. Beep Trim
• B. SAS/AP Cut Switch
• C. Autopilot
• D. SAS

Answer: (B)

The SAS/AP Cut Switch is designed to disable the backup stabilization and autopilot, giving you direct manual control from the cyclic. When you need to take full control, flipping this switch cuts power to both the Stabilization Augmentation System and the Autopilot, so automatic inputs no longer influence the aircraft. The other options don’t serve this purpose: Beep Trim isn’t related to turning off SAS or autopilot, the Autopilot is a system rather than a cut-off control, and SAS refers to the stabilization system itself, not a switch to shut it off.
