4.2.2 Pitch Axis Modes
NOTE: A Roll Mode must be selected before selecting a Pitch Mode.
4.2.2.1 Vertical Speed (VS)
When establishing an automatic climb out to a desired altitude (without
optional ALT Selector Alerter), press and release the VS mode switch to
engage the vertical speed mode. The autopilot automatically
synchronizes to the established rate-of-climb or descent. If the
established rate-of-climb exceeds 1600 FPM, at VS engagement, the
autopilot will seek to maintain 1600 FPM. Should a specific rate-of-
climb/descent be required, press the appropriate UP/DN modifier switch.
For each second of depression (UP or DN), there is a 160 FPM change
of vertical speed. For example, to establish a 500 FPM rate-of-climb,
press and hold the UP modifier switch for approximately 3 seconds to
transition from level flight to a 500 FPM climb. To descend at approximately
500 FPM, press the DN switch for approximately 3 seconds.
NOTE: If the VS mode annunciator flashes, it indicates an excessive
error between the actual VS compared to the selected VS. The pilot
should adjust the aircraft power or correct the VS that has been
selected.
CAUTION
Vertical speed change is time related: 160 FPM for each second
of switch depression. Autopilot response to a commanded VS
change is precise. DO NOT continue to depress modifier switches
beyond the time required to program the desired vertical speed
change. In other words, until the attitude change "looks right".
The autopilot will change attitude very slowly in the direction of
the command.
Operation of the optional Altitude/Vertical Speed Selector is
contained in a separate manual.
