The Vertical Navigation feature allows the creation of a three-dimensional profile which gives guidance from
the present position and altitude to a final (target) altitude at a specified location. This is helpful when the pilot
wants to descend to a certain altitude near an airport or climb to an altitude before reaching a route or direct-
to waypoint. Once the profile is defined, message alerts and additional data on the PFD informs the pilot of
progress. The Vertical Navigation Page displays the information shown in Figure 5-84.
NOTE
: The Vertical Navigation Page Map orientation is always ‘Desired Track Up’.
Creating a vertical navigation profile:
1) Press the
FPL
Key.
2) Select the Vertical Navigation Page (third page icon).
3) Press the
FMS
Knob
to activate the cursor.
4) With the ‘TARGET POSITION’ distance field highlighted, select the desired distance for Top Of Climb or Bottom
Of Descent from the VNAV profile endpoint. The default distance is 4 nm.
5) Press the
ENT
Key. The cursor is now positioned over the ‘Before’ and After’ field.
6) Select whether the previously set distance is ‘Before’ or ‘After’ the endpoint.

ENT
Key. The cursor is now placed over the VNAV profile endpoint field.
