AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM<br />

VERTICAL SPEED MODE (VS)<br />

In Vertical Speed Mode, the flight director acquires and maintains a Vertical Speed Reference. Current<br />

aircraft vertical speed (to the nearest 100 fpm) becomes the Vertical Speed Reference at the moment of Vertical<br />

Speed Mode activation. This mode may be used for climb or descent to the Selected Altitude (shown above<br />

the Altimeter) since Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed when Vertical Speed Mode is<br />

selected.<br />

When Vertical Speed Mode is activated by pressing the VS Key, ‘VS’ is annunciated in green in the AFCS<br />

Status Box along with the Vertical Speed Reference. The Vertical Speed Reference is also displayed above the<br />

Vertical Speed Indicator. A Vertical Speed Reference Bug corresponding to the Vertical Speed Reference is<br />

shown on the indicator.<br />

The Vertical Speed Reference (shown both in the AFCS Status Box and above the Vertical Speed Indicator)<br />

may be changed by using the NOSE UP/DN Wheel.<br />
