• Vertical Path Tracking — Captures and tracks descent legs of an active vertical profile
• VNAV Target Altitude Capture — Captures the Vertical Navigation (VNAV) Target Altitude
• Glidepath — Captures and tracks the WAAS glidepath on approach (only available in installations with GIA
63W Integrated Avionics Units and when WAAS is available)
• Glideslope — Captures and tracks the ILS glideslope on approach
• Go Around — Automatically disengages the autopilot and commands a constant pitch angle and wings level
while in the air
Table 7-1 lists the pitch modes with their corresponding controls and annunciations. The mode reference
is displayed next to the active mode annunciation for Altitude Hold, Vertical Speed, and Flight Level Change
modes. The NOSE UP/NOSE DN keys can be used to change the pitch mode reference while operating under
Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode. Increments of change and acceptable ranges of values
for each of these references using the NOSE UP/NOSE DN keys are also listed in the table.
