AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
LATERAL MODES
Roll (ROL) Mode
Roll mode is automatically selected, when no other lateral mode is active, and the
autopilot is engaged. Roll mode generates commands to hold the heading that exists
when the mode is initiated, unless the bank angle upon initiation is over 6° (commands
are then generated to hold the bank angle). The roll mode reference is reset to the
current heading, or current roll angle, upon AP engagement.
Roll mode is annunciated in the lateral capture field on the PFD. Roll mode is cleared
by selecting another lateral mode. ROL will flash for approximately 5 seconds, when
active.
