Vertical Speed Control

The GDU 620 vertical speed bug may be used to control vertical speed with
certain autopilots. Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual and autopilot system
documentation for instructions on how to use the vertical speed mode, if available.
Adjust the vertical speed bug in the normal manner when using the vertical
speed mode interface. Some autopilot installations support engaging/disengaging
the vertical speed mode using the VS key on the PFD. The vertical speed mode
may be alternately engaged or disengaged by pressing and holding the VS key
on the PFD bezel.

Autopilot Mode Annunciations

Some autopilots support mode annunciations located at the top of the PFD.
Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual and autopilot system documentation for
details on the autopilot mode annunciations.
When autopilot annunciations are displayed at the top of the PFD, the Nav
Status information will be located to the left of the HSI (NAV STATUS Style 2).
