Control Wheel Steering Mode

This mode allows the autopilot to be temporarily disengaged to

make a quick course change and/or vertical speed change. This
mode is accessed by pressing and holding the control wheel steering
switch (if equipped). While the switch is held, the display will show

the autopilot is in CWS Mode. Figure 6.5.3a shows the CWS mode
screen.

Figure 6.5.3a

When the button is released, the autopilot will hold the new

track  and  the  new  vertical  speed,  if  greater  than  400  fpm  in  either
direction.  If the vertical speed at time of release is less than 400 fpm,
then the autopilot will hold zero vertical speed.  Figure 6.5.3b shows

the screen after release at a vertical speed of 800 fpm up.
