• Subsequent vertical speed adjustments are in increments of 100 fpm, with
the exception 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.
3.2.5.2 VERTICAL MODES
The table lists the vertical modes with their corresponding controls and annunciations.
The mode reference is displayed next to the active mode annunciation for Altitude
Hold, Vertical Speed, and Indicated Airspeed modes. The NOSE UP/DN Wheel can be
used to change the vertical mode reference while operating under Pitch Hold, Vertical
Speed, Indicated Airspeed, or Altitude Hold modes. Increments of change of values for
each of these references using the NOSE UP/DN Wheel, are also listed in the table.
