That's right. Everything you need to know about it is written in the RFM and the AP manual, both of which are required to be carried in the aircraft. How it is that pilots arrive on annual recurrent simulator courses without knowing the system basics, or having a thorough functional knowledge of system operation, or knowing system operating limitations for that matter, when it is well documented in publications carried in the aircraft is an eternal mystery to me.
