Autopilot Vertical Speed Mode
1.
Begin by manually establishing the desired vertical speed.
2.
Press HDG or NAV to engage a roll mode. The associated
annunciator will illuminate.
• Note •
A roll mode must be engaged prior to engaging a pitch mode.
3.
Press the VS button on the autopilot programmer/computer to
engage the vertical speed mode. When the mode is engaged, the
autopilot will synchronize to and hold the vertical speed at the time
the mode was engaged.
• Note •
The vertical speed is displayed in 100-foot increments at the
far right of the programmer/computer window next to the VS
annunciation. A plus (+) value indicates climb and a negative
or minus (-) value indicates descent.
4.
Vertical speed can be adjusted by rotating the VS knob on the
programmer/computer. Clockwise rotation increases and
counterclockwise rotation decreases rate of climb (or descent)
100 FPM for each ‘click.’ The maximum adjustment is ±1600 FPM.
• Note •
A flashing VS mode annunciator indicates excessive error
between actual vertical speed and the selected vertical speed
(usually in climb). The pilot should adjust power or reduce the
commanded vertical speed as appropriate to remove the
error.
GPS Tracking and GPS Approach
1.
Begin with a reliable GPS signal selected on the NAV receiver.
2.
Select desired course on the PFD and establish a desired
intercept heading.
3.
Press the NAV button on the autopilot programmer/computer
twice. The NAV and GPSS mode annunciators will illuminate.
