 ## Autopilot
280
-For now there is only one autopilot system supported: the Octal450's STEC 55X (and at time of writing only HDG mode is available).
282
+There are two systems supported: the GFC700 shipped with the official Stuart Buchanan's FG1000 and the Octal450's STEC 55X (and at time of writing only HDG and buggy NAV/GPS modes are available).
283
+
284
+### GFC700
285
+To make the magic operate, you just need to insert these lines into the `sim/systems` section. Be aware that this autopilot [has been tuned for the Cessna 182, so may not be correct for light jets](http://wiki.flightgear.org/FG1000#Include_the_GFC700_autopilot_.28optional.29).

 To make it available you have to follow the installation rules of the device [on its own page](http://wiki.flightgear.org/S-TEC_55X). The zkv1000 will find it by its own and make it available.

284 294
 This STEC55X autopilot system would remain shipped in the zkv1000 as it is described in the documentation of Cirrus Perspective SR2x, but the zkv1000 will in near future let you create your own and make its choice depending of the availibilities or property set.

 ## Switch it up

-You can use the multikey (souvenirs, thanks to Melchior having that much expended this feature years ago :)) service by typing:
320
+### Autopower on/off
321
+You can set an electrical system to make the property `/instrumentation/zkv1000/serviceable` reflect the alimentation of the ZKV1000 (boolean or volts > 12). Then configure the zkv1000 to auto power on as soon as it is known as serviceable withe the following
322
+
323
+        <instrumentation>
324
+          <zkv1000>
325
+            <auto-power type="bool">1</auto-power>
326
+          <zkv1000>
327
+        </instrumentation>
328
+
329
+Note that will also switch off the zkv1000 if it becomes non-serviceable.
330
+
331
+The re-switching on is buggy (the MFD doesn't re-display the contents and the NAV/COMM utils aren't available anymore... working on it)
332
+### Manually
333
+If you haven't set a electrical system to make the property `/instrumentation/zkv1000/serviceable` to reflect the availibity of the ZKV1000, and you haven't set the auto-power, then you can use the multikey (souvenirs, thanks to Melchior having that much expended this feature years ago :)) service by typing:
311 334
 `:zo`
312 335
 
313 336
 The `:z` will be the multikey entry for all multikeys of the zkv1000.
