3.3.2 Altitude (ALT)
The ALT mode engages the altitude hold mode, capturing the altitude
attained at the time of activation.
3.3.3 UP
When the VS mode is activated, the UP modifier switch will increase the
rate-of-climb or decrease the rate-of-descent at 160 FPM for each sec-
ond of continuous switch depression.
3.3.4 Down (DN)
When the VS mode is activated, the DN switch will increase the rate-of-
descent or decrease the rate-of-climb 160 FPM for each second of con-
tinuous switch depression.
When the altitude hold mode is engaged, the UP and DN switches may
be used to adjust the altitude. The UP and DN switches produce a 20
foot change in altitude for each second of depression, up to a maximum
of 200 feet. Altitude changes of more than 200 feet require reactivation of
the VS mode.
