At 50 feet from the VNAV Target Altitude, the flight director automatically transitions from VNAV Target
Altitude Capture to Altitude Hold Mode and tracks the level leg. As Altitude Hold Mode becomes active, the
white ‘ALT’ annunciation moves to the active vertical mode field and flashes green for 10 seconds to indicate
the automatic transition. The flight director automatically arms Vertical Path Tracking, allowing upcoming
descent legs to be captured and subsequently tracked.

note:
Pressing the
CWS
Button while in VNAV Target Altitude Capture Mode does not cancel the mode.
Changing the current VNAV Target Altitude while VNAV Target Altitude Capture Mode is active causes
the flight director to revert to Pitch Hold Mode. Vertical Path Tracking and the appropriate altitude capture
mode are armed in preparation to capture the new VNAV Target Altitude or the Selected Altitude, depending
on which altitude is to be intercepted first.
VNAV target altitudes can be changed while editing the active flight plan (see the Flight Management
Section for details).

note:
Pressing the
CWS
Button while Glidepath Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot
guides the aircraft back to the glidepath upon release of the
CWS
Button.
Glidepath Mode is used to track the SBAS-based glidepath. When Glidepath Mode is armed, ‘GP’ is
annunciated in white in the AFCS Status Box.
Selecting Glidepath Mode:
1)
Ensure a GPS approach is loaded into the active flight plan. The active waypoint must be part of the flight plan
(cannot be a direct-to a waypoint not in the flight plan).
2)
Ensure that FMS is the selected navigation source (use the
Active Nav
Softkey to cycle through navigation
sources).
3)
Press the
APR
Key.
