AP/FD VERTICAL MODES - OPEN CLIMB MODE<br />
DISENGAGEMENT CONDITIONS<br />
The OPEN CLB mode is disengaged by one of the following conditions:<br />
‐ Engagement of any other vertical mode<br />
‐ Selection of a lower altitude (on FCU) than the current aircraft altitude. V/S (FPA) engages on<br />
current V/S (FPA) (Refer to DSC-22_30-75 General).<br />
Applicable to: ALL<br />
GUIDANCE<br />
When OPEN CLB is engaged, the target speed/Mach is maintained by adjusting the pitch with the<br />
elevator whereas thrust is maintained either by the A/THR, or manually by the flight crew. Speed may<br />
be either selected or managed.<br />
The OPEN CLB mode disregards all altitude constraints up to the FCU selected altitude.<br />
Note: A level change of less than 1 200 ft in OPEN CLB mode with A/THR active produces a<br />
1 000 ft/min climb.<br />
