3. Vertical speed may also be changed by pressing

and holding the

the control wheel. When the

button is

released, the current vertical speed will be

maintained.

4. A desired altitude may be entered in the

Selected Altitude Box by turning the

ALT

knob. With Altitude Hold mode armed, as the

selected altitude is reached ‘ALT’ will ﬂash in

green for 10 seconds in the Active Mode ﬁeld,

after which the annunciation stops ﬂashing.

This signals the altitude capture is complete

and the selected altitude will be maintained.

If only the ﬂight director is engaged, pitch and

roll commands are given to manually maintain

the selected altitude.

If no altitude has been selected, Altitude Hold

will not become active and the current vertical
