GLIDESLOPE MODE (GS)

NOTE: Glideslope Mode requires a valid GPS position.
Glideslope Mode is available for LOC/ILS approaches to capture and track the
glideslope. When Glideslope Mode is armed (annunciated as 'GS' in white), LOC
Approach Mode is armed as the lateral flight director mode.
Selecting Glideslope Mode:
1) EXTERNAL NAVIGATOR: Tune and activate the desired localizer frequency.
2) EXTERNAL NAVIGATOR: Ensure that LOC is the selected navigation source.
3) Press the APR Key (GMC control unit) or touch the autopilot and touch
APPR. This simultaneously selects LOC and GS (Glideslope) Modes.
Or:
1) EXTERNAL NAVIGATOR: Tune and activate the desired localizer frequency.
2) EXTERNAL NAVIGATOR: Load the approach (LOC, ILS, LDA, SDF, etc.) into
the flight plan.
3) Press the APR Key (GMC control unit) or touch the autopilot and touch
APPR. This simultaneously selects LOC and GS (Glideslope) Modes.
Once LOC is the navigation source, the localizer and glideslope can be captured.
Upon reaching the glideslope, the flight director transitions to Glideslope Mode and
begins to capture and track the glideslope.
