Reversion A mode reversion is a manual or automatic changeover from one AP mode to another mode ( usually, a lower level of automation ) resulting from: - a pilot action ( e.g., the selection of a lower level of automation or the disengagement of a mode for manual reversion to the AP basic mode ); - a system built-in condition ( e.g., a guidance limit or an active flight envelope protection ); or, - a failure or temporary loss of the engaged mode.
