PITCH HOLD MODE (PIT)

When the Integrated Autopilot is activated, Pitch Hold Mode is selected
by default. Pitch Hold Mode is indicated as the active vertical mode by
the green annunciation 'PIT'. This mode may be used for climb or descent
to the Selected Altitude (shown above the altimeter), since Selected
Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed when Pitch Hold Mode is
activated.
