AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM<br />

VERTICAL MODES<br />

Table 7-2 lists the vertical modes with their corresponding controls and annunciations. The mode reference<br />

is displayed next to the active mode annunciation for Altitude Hold, Vertical Speed, and Indicated Airspeed<br />

modes. The NOSE UP/DN Wheel can be used to change the vertical mode reference while operating under<br />

Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, Indicated Airspeed, or Altitude Hold modes. Increments of change and acceptable<br />

ranges of values for each of these references using the NOSE UP/DN Wheel are also listed in the table.<br />

Pitch Hold<br />

Vertical Mode Description Control Annunciation<br />

Holds the current aircraft pitch<br />
