Altitude Hold Mode - Honeywell SPZ-8000 Pilot's Manual

ALTITUDE HOLD MODE

The altitude hold mode is a vertical flight director mode that maintains
a barometric altitude reference. The vertical command for altitude hold
is displayed with the flight director pitch command cue on the EADI.
Refer to Table 8--6 for the procedure for using the altitude hold mode.
Step
1 Select any lateral flight director mode.
2 Push the ALT button on the flight guidance controller.
3 The ALT
altitude hold is active, as shown in Figure 8--36. The
vertical axis of the flight director maintains the barometric
altitude established in Step 2.
4 Change the reference altitude by pushing the TCS button
on the control wheel and maneuvering the aircraft to a new
altitude and then releasing the TCS button. Selecting the
altitude hold mode cancels any previously selected vertical
mode.
