Altitude Preselect
The ALT provides automatic level-off at an al-
titude preselected through the air data com-
puter and the copilot ALT button on the
instrument remote controller. The altitude pre-
select mode engages automatically when al-
titude hold or vertical approach capture are not
engaged and a lateral mode is selected. Any
vertical guidance mode or pitch attitude hold
may be used to approach the selected altitude.
Altitude capture engages and provides flight
director and pitch attitude commands for a
smooth level-off at the selected altitude. The
altitude hold mode then automatically engages.
