3. With the ‘TARGET ALTITUDE’ field highlighted,
turn the
small and large FMS
knobs to select
the target altitude and press the
ENT
key.
4. Turn the
small FMS
knob to select ‘Above
Wpt’ (AGL) or ‘MSL’, and press the
ENT
key.
‘Above Wpt’ uses the altitude of a destination
airport. ‘MSL’ lets you set a specific target alti-
tude for any waypoint category: airport, VOR,
NDB, intersection or user waypoint.
5. Turn the
small and large FMS
knobs to select
a distance from the target reference waypoint
and press the
ENT
key. If the target altitude
should occur at the target reference waypoint,
enter a distance of zero.
6. Turn the
small FMS
knob to select ‘Before’ or
‘After’, and press the
ENT
key. This setting
designates whether the offset distance defines
a point before you reach the target reference
waypoint or after you reach the waypoint.
7. When using a flight plan, the target refer-
ence waypoint itself can be specified from the
waypoints contained in the flight plan. By
default, the last waypoint in the flight plan
is selected. To select a different waypoint,
turn the
small FMS
knob to select the desired
waypoint and press the
ENT
key.
8. The default profile utilizes a 400 foot-per-
minute descent rate. To change the rate, turn
the
large FMS
knob to highlight the ‘Target
Vertical Speed’ field and use the small and
large FMS
knobs to enter a new rate. Press the
ENT
key when finished.
With the profile set, the vertical speed required (VSR)
is displayed. Expect the following to occur when using the
vertical navigation feature:
At one minute prior to reaching the initial descent
point, the message ‘APPR VPROF - Approaching VNAV
Profile’ is displayed as a PFD alert. The descent (or climb)
angle also locks to prevent changes in speed from altering
the profile. If selected, the vertical speed required (VSR)
readout on the default NAV and map pages shows the
desired vertical speed to maintain the proper descent (or
climb) angle. At 500 feet above (or below, for a climb) the
target altitude, an ‘APPR TRG ALT’ - Approaching Target
Altitude” message is provided. The VSR readout on the
Navigation Map Page is blanked out at this point.

VNAV Page Menu Options
The VNAV messages are not enabled until the ‘VNAV
Messages On?’ option is enabled from the VNAV Page
Menu Options. To display the page menu, press the
MENU
key (with the VNAV Page displayed). The VNAV
Page Options Menu also allows the pilot to restore VNAV
page defaults.
