The Vertical Speed Reference may be adjusted in the following ways:
• Use the NOSE UP/DN Wheel to adjust the Vertical Speed Reference in
increments of 100 fpm.
• Press the CWS Button (if equipped) and hand-fly the aircraft to a new
Vertical Speed Reference. When the CWS Button is released, the aircraft's
vertical speed (to the nearest 100 fpm) is established as the new Vertical
Speed Reference.
INDICATED AIRSPEED MODE (IAS)
Indicated Airspeed Mode is selected by pressing the IAS Key on the GMC.
This mode acquires and maintains the Airspeed Reference (IAS) while climbing or
descending. When Indicated Airspeed Mode is active, the flight director continuously
monitors Selected Altitude, airspeed and altitude.
The Airspeed Reference is set to the current airspeed upon mode activation.
Indicated Airspeed Mode is indicated by a green 'IAS' annunciation in the Autopilot
Status Box. The Airspeed Reference is also displayed as a light blue bug corresponding
to the Airspeed Reference along the airspeed tape.
Engine power must be adjusted to allow the autopilot to fly the aircraft at a pitch
attitude corresponding to the desired flight profile (climb or descent) while maintaining
the Airspeed Reference.
