Table 7-2 lists the vertical modes with their corresponding controls and annunciations. The mode reference is
displayed next to the active mode annunciation for Altitude Hold, Vertical Speed, and Flight Level Change modes.
The
UP/DN
Wheel can be used to change the vertical mode reference while operating under Pitch Hold, Vertical
Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode. Increments of change and acceptable ranges of values for each of these
references using the
UP/DN Wheel are also listed in the table.
