Pilot's Guide
NOTE: With Altitude Controls set to Simplified, the user will not be able to
pre-select a new altitude while ALT mode is already active.
• Selecting Altitude Hold (ALT) Mode causes the Selected Altitude (Altitude Bug)
to change to the current aircraft altitude.
• There is no longer a difference between the Selected Altitude (Altitude Bug) and
the Target Altitude for Altitude Hold (ALT) Mode.
• After Altitude Hold (ALT) Mode captures the Selected Altitude, subsequent
changes to the Selected Altitude will cause ALT Mode to climb or descend
towards the new Selected Altitude.
• Subsequent vertical speed adjustments are in increments of 100 fpm, with
the exception that the user cannot adjust the target vertical speed to a
value that would cause the aircraft to fly away from the Selected Altitude.
• Unlike Select VS Mode described previously, this option does not switch
to VS mode. Instead, it displays a vertical speed bug.
• The initial vertical speed used for climb or descent towards the new altitude
is determined by the Default Vertical Speed fields as described previously.
• When Altitude Hold (ALT) Mode has captured the Selected Altitude, the vertical
speed bug is removed and vertical speed adjustments have no effect.
