AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE DESCENT
While flying the GPS leg from Panoche VORTAC to Clovis VORTAC, the aircraft is cleared to make a descent
to 3000 feet in preparation for the approach to KFAT.
Making a Flight Level Change descent:
1) Enter Flight Level Change Mode.
a) Using the ALT Knob, set the Selected Altitude to 3000 feet.
b) Press the
FLC
Key to activate Flight Level Change Mode. The annunciation ‘FLC’ appears next to the
Airspeed Reference, which defaults to the current aircraft airspeed, 142 knots. Altitude Hold Mode is armed
automatically.
2) Reduce power to allow descent in Flight Level Change Mode. The autopilot maintains the Airspeed Reference.
3) Upon capturing the Selected Altitude, the flight director changes from Flight Level Change to Altitude Hold
Mode. The annunciation ‘ALT’ flashes in green to indicate the altitude capture. After the capture is complete,
the autopilot holds the aircraft level at the Selected Altitude.
