selection There is no alternative switch avail able for the
bank angle function. The mouse must be used for all on-
screen control knob use.
To operate in full autopilot mode , press AP ENG and
BC. BC couples the autopilot and allows precise vertical
and horizontal fl ight management. The command bars will
only be present HDG, NAV or APR is selected. To maintain
altitude, simply fl y the aircraft to the desired altitude and
press ALT, or, use the CWS button to pitch the aircraft
toward the desired altitude, let go of the CWS button, set the
altitude desired into the SET ALTITUDE box and press VS,
ALT SEL and BC. Don’t forget that using the CWS button
will dis en gage the autopilot coupling. Another method is
to use the vertical speed rocker switch on the AP-3000
to initiate a climb or descent. This rocker switch does not
disengage the coupling, but the VS and ALT SEL but tons
will need to be pressed to cause the aircraft to level-off at
the SET ALTITUDE value. Using the VS function in a climb
or descent will cause the aircraft to pitch as necessary to
maintain the desired vertical speed should throttle and/or
confi guration changes occur. If the VS function is not used
then the aircraft will maintain the original pitch attitude
causing the vertical speed and airspeed indications to
change as necessary. To maintain a heading, simply move
the heading bug to the desired heading value and press
HDG. The aircraft will turn the shortest distance to the bug
position. To change heading simply move the heading bug
to a new value. To track a VOR radial, select the desired
course TO or FROM the VOR with the course selector. Use
the heading function to set up the desired intercept angle
and then press NAV. The aircraft will intercept and track
the course if the intercept angle is less than, or equal to,
90° in NAV mode for both VOR radials and LOC courses.
To track a LOC using APR mode, use the same procedure
as that for a
VOR radial intercept. Maximum angle of
intercept for a LOC in APR mode is 89°. The glideslope
