HEADING (HDG) HOLD MODE, WINGS LEVEL
The basic lateral mode of the autopilot is heading hold. The heading
hold mode is defined as:
Autopilot is engaged
D
No lateral flight director mode is selected
D
Bank angle is less than 6_ .
D
When the three conditions are met, the autopilot rolls the aircraft to a
wings--level attitude. One second after the bank angle is less than 6_ ,
the flight guidance system (FGS) uses the current heading as the
heading hold reference. The primary flight display (PFD) annunciates
ROL in the lateral flight director mode annunciation position. Figure 8--1
shows the autopilot (AP) and yaw damper (YD) on and the autopilot
altitude hold (ALT) and roll hold (ROL) modes engaged.
