Once a target altitude is selected, it will be displayed in the top
right of the autopilot display. This is shown in the fourth picture of
Figure 5.4.4a.
When the autopilot is engaged, it will synchronize to the current
vertical speed, as long as the current vertical speed is above 400 fpm,
otherwise it will synchronize to 500 fpm.
The vertical speed and altitude can be adjusted at any time
during a transition to a selected altitude. This requires simply
moving the cursor, which normally resides beneath the SEL track, to
the value to be edited. To move the cursor momentarily press and
release the
KNOB
and the cursor will move to SVS, momentarily
press and release the
KNOB
again to move the cursor to SEL altitude.
If the SEL altitude is moved to the current altitude the autopilot
will enter ALT HOLD.
The SVS can be adjusted to ANY value during a transition, even
the opposite direction.
