AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

GLIDEPATH MODE (GP)

NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while Glidepath Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot

guides the aircraft back to the glidepath upon release of the CWS Button.

Glidepath Mode is used to track the WAAS-based glidepath. When Glidepath Mode is armed, ‘GP’ is

annunciated in white in the AFCS Status Box.

Selecting Glidepath Mode:

1) Ensure a GPS approach with vertical guidance (LPV, LNAV/VNAV, LNAV+V) is loaded into the active ﬂight plan.

The active waypoint must be part of the ﬂight plan (cannot be a direct-to a waypoint not in the ﬂight plan).

2) Ensure that GPS is the selected navigation source (use the CDI Softkey to cycle through navigation sources if

necessary).

3) Press the APR Key.

Upon reaching the glidepath, the ﬂight director transitions to Glidepath Mode and begins to capture and

track the glidepath.

Figure 7-18 Glidepath Mode Armed

Once the following conditions have been met, the glidepath can be captured:

• The active waypoint is at or after the ﬁnal approach ﬁx (FAF).

• Vertical deviation is valid.

• The CDI is at less than full scale deviation

• Automatic sequencing of waypoints has not been suspended (no ‘SUSP’ annunciation on the HSI)
