Altitude
The altitude mode is selected using the ALT button and will cause the
FD to hold the altitude at the time of activation.
The ALT mode is also automatically armed when another vertical mode
is active. When approaching the selected or VNAV altitude the altitude
will automatically be captured and the ALT mode activated.
Vertical Navigation
The vertical navigation mode is armed using the VNV button. When the
desired path is reached, the mode will activate and FD will produce
commands to follow the path.
NOTE
When using altitude constraints at along-track-offset
waypoints, the VNAV
Direct-To
button on the VNAV
Altitude page could be misleading. The button has the same
label as the next waypoint in the flight plan that is not an
along-track-offset waypoint. When selected, VNAV will
achieve the commanded altitude at the selected along-track-
offset waypoint, not the waypoint indicated on the
Direct-
To
button.
Vertical Speed
The vertical speed mode is activated by pushing the VS button and then
selecting target vertical speed using the PITCH wheel. When active, a
target value and bug is displayed on the vertical speed indicator.
Flight Level Change
The flight level change mode is selected using the FLC button and will
acquire and hold the target speed while climbing or descending to the
selected altitude. The target speed is synced to actual speed at time of
engagement.
