AFCS

GLIDESLOPE MODE (GS)

NOTE:

Glideslope Mode is available in aircraft with a VHF Nav radio that

includes a glideslope receiver.

Glideslope mode is available for ILS approaches to capture and track the glideslope.

When Glideslope mode is armed, LOC Approach mode is armed as the lateral AFCS
mode.

Selecting Glideslope Mode:

EXTERNAL NAVIGATOR: Tune and activate the desired localizer frequency.

Ensure that LOC is the selected navigation source.

GMC 605: Press the

APR

key. This simultaneously arms LOC and GS

(Glideslope) modes.

Once the localizer has been captured (LOC is annunciated as the active lateral

mode), the glideslope can also be captured.

NOTE:

Pressing the CWS button while Glideslope mode is active does not

cancel the mode. Upon release of the CWS button the autopilot will guide
the aircraft back to the glideslope.

GMC 605 AND GI 285 ANNUNCIATIONS

The GMC 605 and GI 285 annunciate ‘GS’ for Glideslope mode. Since Glideslope

mode relies on LOC positioning, the ‘LOC’ lateral mode is also annunciated.
