Maximum Bank Angle–Used to limit the maximum roll attitude commanded by the flight director for
aircraft that have unusual attitude limitations. This setting should not be adjusted from the default of 30°
except for very high performance aircraft that have bank angle limitations at high speeds.
Altitude Controls–Select Normal (default) or Simplified. Selecting Simplified results in a simpler set of
behaviors for altitude hold mode. See the G3X Touch Pilot's Guide for additional details.
When Altitude Controls is set to Normal, the following two selections (ALT Mode User Select Action and
ALT Mode User Up/Down Action) appear, see Figure 32-31:
ALT Mode User Select Action–Select Normal or Sync Selected Altitude. This setting controls the
actions that occur when the user selects altitude hold mode by pressing the ALT key on the GMC 30X,
or the ALT button on the display. When set to Sync Selected Altitude, the selected altitude (altitude
bug) will be automatically set to the current aircraft altitude when the user selects altitude hold mode
manually by pressing the ALT key on the GMC 30X or the ALT button/softkey on the display. See the
G3X Touch Pilot's Guide for additional details.
ALT Mode User Up/Down Action–Select Normal or Select VS (vertical speed) Mode. This setting
controls the actions that occur when the flight director is in altitude hold (ALT) mode and the user
moves the pitch wheel on the GMC 30X, or the up/down buttons on the display. When set to Select VS
Mode, moving the pitch wheel on the GMC 30X, or the on-screen buttons results in a change to VS
mode for a climb or descent to a new altitude. See the G3X Touch Pilot's Guide for further details.
When Altitude Controls is set to Simplified, the ALT Mode User Select Action and ALT Mode User Up/
Down Action fields do not appear, but the Default Vertical Speed fields do appear as shown in
Figure 32-33.
