AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
GLIDESLOPE MODE (GS)
NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while Glideslope Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot
guides the aircraft back to the glideslope upon release of the CWS Button.
Glideslope Mode is only available when the flight director has been set for approach (see Approach Mode
under roll modes) and is annunciated in the AFCS Status Box as ‘GS’. Glideslope Mode is automatically
armed under the following conditions:
• Valid localizer frequency is tuned
• Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) is in LOC mode, with valid deviation indication
• Valid glideslope deviation
• APR Key is pressed

Upon reaching the glideslope, the flight director transitions to Glideslope Mode and begins to intercept and
track the glideslope.
