Flight Level Change (Flc) Mode - Honeywell PRIMUS 1000 Pilot's Manual

Step
3 With the autopilot engaged, set the speed reference on the
coupled side PFD to the reference IAS/Mach number, using
the SPD knob.
4 Advance throttle position to attain climb power.
Speed Mode Engagement Procedure
The aircraft climbs toward the preselected altitude, maintaining the
speed reference. The amount of throttle position change varies the
aircraft rate of climb.
In the SPD mode, all armed pitch flight director modes are valid, but
capture of any armed pitch mode overrides the SPD mode.
NOTE: When the SPD mode is selected, the speed command bug
is displayed on the airspeed display.
The SPD mode is cancelled by any one of the following actions or event:
Pushing the SPD button on the GC
D
Selecting any other vertical mode on, or capture
D
Coupling to the cross--side FD.
D
Coupled side MADC becomes invalid
D
If on the active side, selecting SG reversionary selection.

FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE (FLC) MODE

Pushing the FLC button on the GC selects the preprogrammed
climb/descent values mode. In a climb, FLC is annunciated as CLB and
the preprogrammed airspeed target is maintained. In a descent, FLC
is annunciated as DES and the preprogrammed rate of descent is
maintained. Descend and climb parameters are listed in table 8--8.
