5. Pitch Axis – Altitude Hold and Capture Procedure

Overview

Both holding and capturing altitude are related but distinct parts of the autopilot. The Altitude
Hold Procedure which follows will address common problems, and once those are resolved,
direct you to the Altitude Capture Procedure, which will tune your system to capture and hold
vertical speed and capture altitude targets without overshoot.

You must complete the IAS HOLD tuning procedure before performing this
procedure.

The autopilot controls should be changed to SIMPLIFIED mode
(SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP > AUTOPILOT CONTROLS)
