In Pitch Hold mode, the AFCS maintains a constant pitch attitude. The pitch

reference is set to the aircraft pitch attitude at the moment of mode selection, and

can be adjusted by using the NOSE UP/DN wheel. The wheel adjusts pitch attitude

in increments of 0.5 deg per click within the range defined in the AFMS. The pitch

reference can also be adjusted by pressing the CWS button, hand-flying the aircraft

to establish a new pitch reference, and then releasing the CWS button. If the aircraft

pitch attitude exceeds the autopilot pitch command limitations, the Flight Director

commands a pitch angle equal to the nose-up/down limit.

GMC 605 AND GI 285 ANNUNCIATIONS

Both the GMC 605 and GI 285 show the 'PIT' annunciation in their active vertical

mode sections. If the Selected Altitude Capture mode is available, the GMC 605 also

shows the 'ALTS' annunciation in the armed vertical mode section.
