AFCS
As the aircraft nears the VNAV Target Altitude, AFCS automatically transitions
to VNAV Target Altitude Capture Mode with Altitude Hold Mode armed. This
automatic transition is indicated by the green 'ALTV' annunciation flashing for
up to 10 seconds and the appearance of the white 'ALT' annunciation.
At 50 feet from the VNAV Target Altitude, the AFCS automatically transitions from
VNAV Target Altitude Capture to Altitude Hold Mode and selects the VNAV target
altitude as the new Autopilot Altitude Reference. As Altitude Hold Mode becomes
active, the white 'ALT' annunciation moves to the active vertical mode field and flashes
green for 10 seconds to indicate the automatic transition.
